Common questions

The things people ask us most

How do I put Dave on my website?

One line of code, pasted just before the closing </body> tag. Your Install page carries your exact snippet, click-by-click steps for WordPress, Wix, Squarespace, Shopify, Webflow, GoDaddy, Framer, Next.js and plain HTML, and a guided assistant that already knows your snippet and paces you through it one step at a time. There's also an "email this to my web person" button. Would rather not touch it at all? Say so below and we'll install it for you, free.

Dave gave a customer the wrong answer — how do I fix it?

Dave only answers from your website and the material you give him, so a wrong answer means the source is wrong or missing rather than that he invented something. Open Build your bot and add a note, upload a document, or add an official policy he has to quote word for word. You can also correct the page on your own site and re-scan it. Either way the change applies to the very next conversation — no retraining, no waiting.

Can I change his name, greeting, colours or picture?

Yes, on Dave Pro and Dave Max — it's the "Personality & style" card in Build your bot. Dave Pro picks a face from the built-in gallery; Dave Max can upload your own picture. On the £24 plan he runs on autopilot as Dave, tuned by us and built from your website.

Can Dave take bookings?

Yes, from Dave Pro upwards. He checks your real availability, asks the details your business actually needs first (party size for a table, the reason for a dental visit, make and model for a garage job), books the slot, emails the confirmation, and can reschedule or cancel it later in the chat. On the £24 plan he answers questions and captures the enquiry instead, and emails it to you.

What happens if I use up my monthly conversations?

Dave never goes dark — that's deliberate. Past your allowance he switches to essentials mode: he keeps greeting visitors and taking their messages, he just stops using AI to compose replies. Allowances are 150, 300 and 600 conversations a month on Dave, Dave Pro and Dave Max, and they reset on the 1st. Need more mid-month? Top-ups are £15 per 100 and are never charged automatically — you approve every one.

How do I cancel?

Plan & billingCancel my plan. No contracts, no minimum term, no exit fees, no phone call to sit through. Dave stays live until the end of the period you've already paid for, then pauses. Nothing you've set up is deleted, so if you come back it's all exactly where you left it.

Does Dave speak other languages?

More than 30, automatically, on every plan — including the £24 one. He replies in whatever language the visitor writes in, then switches back for the next visitor. Nothing to configure.

Can Dave answer on WhatsApp or Messenger?

Not yet — it's next on our roadmap. Today Dave works on your website, where he can see everything he's been taught about your business. When the messaging channels land we'll email every customer; there'll be nothing to rebuild.

I can't sign in.

Use the "Forgot password" link on the sign-in page — the reset link is single-use and lasts an hour. If you've just signed up and the verification email hasn't arrived, check spam first, then use the resend button on the sign-in page. If it still doesn't show up, message us below: we can verify your address by hand and have you in within minutes.

Where's my data, and who can see it?

Your conversations, leads and bookings belong to you. They're encrypted in transit and at rest, GDPR-compliant, and never used to train other companies' bots. Our Privacy Policy sets out exactly what's stored and for how long, and you can ask us to delete all of it at any time.
