Frequently asked questions about Chaterimo
What AI models does Chaterimo support?
Chaterimo supports the latest OpenAI GPT models, newest Claude Opus/Sonnet/Haiku models, Google Gemini models, and xAI Grok models. The platform keeps its offering up to date with the newest available versions from each provider.
Why does Chaterimo require my own API key for paid programs?
There are three reasons: Fair Usage Billing - you're billed directly by OpenAI/Anthropic for exact prompt usage; Avoiding Rate Limits - unique API keys prevent shared rate limit restrictions ensuring uninterrupted service; and there's still a separate monthly Chaterimo platform fee for their features, tools, and services beyond the core language model capabilities.
How secure is my API key stored in Chaterimo?
Chaterimo prioritizes data security and privacy. Your API key is stored securely, hashed after saving, and strictly used only for communicating with AI servers for the outlined purposes. It is not used for any other purposes nor shared with any third parties.
Can I create multiple chat-widgets with different configurations?
Yes, in paid Advanced and Masterful subscription plans, you can create multiple chat-widgets with completely different appearances. These can have initial messages in different languages, different roles, different ChatGPT models, and different chat temperature settings.
How do I add content to Chaterimo's knowledge base?
You can add content through: Simple Text (copy-paste directly), Web Content (grab from single or multiple web pages with linked content), File Upload (CSV, Excel, Word, PDF, plain text under 10MB), and for Merchants using Google Shopping (direct XML product feed upload).
Is my data used to train AI models by OpenAI/Claude/Gemini?
For paid API accounts with OpenAI, Claude, Gemini, and Grok, data and files passed to their APIs are never used to train their models. However, Gemini's free-tier API models may use conversations to train their models, though it remains completely free. You have complete control and can delete all uploaded data through the Chaterimo administration interface.
What e-commerce platforms does Chaterimo integrate with?
Chaterimo offers one-click installation for Shopify, Shoptet, Upgates, and more platforms. It integrates with the Shopify API to fetch products, update details, check orders, and answer customer questions. The platform also connects with Facebook Messenger and CRM systems including Zoho CRM, Pipedrive, and HubSpot.
How does Chaterimo handle complex issues the AI can't answer?
Chaterimo uses intelligent handoff with a smart ticketing system. The AI can automatically collect contact details and create tickets for complex issues. Agents work on tickets when convenient rather than waiting for live chats, with seamless context transfer showing full conversation history and tracking of resolution times, agent performance, and customer satisfaction.
What proactive sales features does Chaterimo offer?
Chaterimo automatically reaches out to visitors with tailored messages through time-based triggers (engage after custom delay), page targeting (site-wide or specific pages), multiple rules per widget with on/off control, custom AI prompts for selling and support, AI-generated or direct message types, and full conversation tracking. Smart session logic prevents repeated prompts during a visit.
Can I customize how my AI agent behaves and sounds?
Yes, Chaterimo offers full Custom AI Agents control. You can edit the core system prompt instructions, give each agent a name/role/identity, set voice and tone, define do's and don'ts, create escalation rules, and build role-specific playbooks for support-ready or sales-driven agents tailored to each goal.
