AskMySite

AI FAQ chatbot prototype for small business websites.

AskMySite is a polished portfolio MVP built for small businesses that want to turn repeated customer questions into a cleaner website support experience.

The app demonstrates a local AI-style FAQ chatbot workflow: visitors can ask questions, receive source-aware answers from a demo knowledge base, see confidence indicators, and leave their contact details when the assistant is unsure.

This project was built as an AI-assisted development case study using OpenAI Codex, with manual product direction, QA, testing, GitHub workflow, and Vercel deployment review.

It is intentionally scoped as a safe portfolio MVP: no real OpenAI API call, no external API usage, no backend database, no real email sending, and no real customer data. The goal is to show how a small business knowledge base can become a clean, testable chatbot prototype quickly.
