Quick answer
Scale.gg Chatbaser is an AI chatbot and agent builder from Scale Plus that answers from your own approved business material instead of guessing. In our latest video we show it as included in the Pro plan. You give each agent a name and one clear job, set its instructions, boundaries and personality, brand it with your colours and avatar, then add files or direct text for it to answer from. There is no personal AI key to set up. You test real conversations in a playground, read the logs and charts, then adjust sources and instructions and retest. It is only as good as the material you give it, so plan to review it regularly.

Most people have done this. You ask a general AI chat about your own business, get a confident answer, paste it somewhere, and only later notice it got your prices, your policies or your offer wrong. The AI was not lying. It simply never had your business information in the first place.
In our latest video on the Prodify Digital channel we look at Scale.gg Chatbaser, an AI chatbot for your business that reads your approved material first and answers from it. This article explains what it does, how the five-step rhythm works, and how to set up a first agent you can trust with real questions.

What this video covers: In our latest video we introduce Chatbaser from Scale Plus: an AI agent builder grounded in your approved knowledge, shown as included in the Pro plan. We cover the define, ground, test, inspect and improve rhythm, agent instructions and personality, branding and placement, files and direct text as sources, the managed AI connection, the interactive playground, logs, charts and exports, and running several focused agents from one dashboard.

What is Scale.gg Chatbaser?
Chatbaser is the AI agent builder in Scale Plus, part of the Scale.gg membership, designed to answer from knowledge you have approved. Our video shows it as included in the Pro plan. You can use an agent as a website chatbot, a helper for common customer questions or an internal assistant for your team.
The key word is grounded. A grounded chatbot is one that answers from a specific set of sources you give it, rather than from whatever a general AI model happens to know. If you are new to Scale.gg, start with Scale.gg: The Agent-Native All-in-One AI Marketing Platform for Beginners for the bigger picture.
Why do generic AI chats get your business wrong?
Because your business context lives outside the conversation. A general AI chat has never seen your price list, delivery times, refund policy or the way you describe your offer. So it fills the gap with plausible guesses.
| Generic AI chat | Grounded agent such as Chatbaser |
|---|---|
| Starts from a blank chat box | Starts from a defined purpose and role |
| Answers from general training data | Answers from the files and text you approved |
| You re-explain your business each time | Your context is stored once and reused |
| Hard to see why an answer was wrong | Logs show the conversation so you can fix the source |
| One assistant for everything | Several focused agents, each with one job |
This is the same problem we tackle from the brand side in Scale.gg Brandbaser: Stop Re-Explaining Your Business to AI. Chatbaser applies it to conversations with customers and your team.
How does Chatbaser work, step by step?
The rhythm shown in our video is simple: define, ground, test, inspect and improve. Each step has a clear purpose.
- Define: give the agent a name, one job, instructions, boundaries and a personality
- Ground: add approved files or direct text, which Chatbaser processes so the agent answers from your source
- Test: hold real multi-turn conversations in the interactive playground
- Inspect: read the logs, charts and exports to see where answers fall short
- Improve: add or remove sources, revise the instructions, retrain and retest
A multi-turn conversation is one with several back-and-forth messages, like a real customer asking a follow-up question. Testing these matters, because many chatbots answer the first question well and then lose the thread.

How do you give a chatbot one clear job?
Start with purpose, not a blank chat box. Our video makes the point that each agent should have a name and one clear job. That single decision shapes everything else: the instructions, the sources and how you judge success.
In Chatbaser you set three things for each agent:
- Instructions: what the agent does and how it should handle common situations
- Boundaries: what it must not do, such as quoting prices it does not have or giving legal advice
- Personality and style: how it sounds, so it matches your brand voice
Then you make it recognisable with its own colours, avatar and placement, so visitors know who they are talking to.
💡 Tip: Write one sentence that starts “This agent helps [who] with [what], and hands over to a human when [situation].” If you cannot finish that sentence, the job is too broad.
What does grounding an AI chatbot in your knowledge mean?
Grounding means the agent answers from sources you supplied, not from general guesswork. In Chatbaser you add files or direct text, and the platform processes them so the agent can draw on them.
The quality of the answers depends heavily on the quality of those sources. Out-of-date prices, two conflicting refund policies or a vague product page will produce vague or wrong answers. Our guide on how to prepare knowledge sources so your AI chatbot answers correctly walks through what to include and how to write it.
Our video also notes there is no personal AI key to set up. An AI key (or API key) is the access code you would normally need from a provider such as OpenAI. Here, the platform manages the AI connection for you, which removes one technical step for beginners.
⚠️ Warning: Only add material you are happy for the agent to repeat to customers. If it is in the sources, assume it can appear in an answer. Keep private notes, supplier costs and personal data out.
How do you test and improve a Chatbaser agent?
Test in the playground, inspect the logs, fix the cause, then retest. The interactive playground lets you hold real multi-turn conversations before customers ever see the agent.
Once it is running, the logs, charts and exports show you what people asked and how the agent replied. When an answer misses the mark, our video shows four fixes:
| If the answer was… | Try this fix |
|---|---|
| Missing information | Add a source that covers it |
| Using old or wrong information | Remove or update the outdated source |
| Right facts, wrong tone or behaviour | Revise the instructions or boundaries |
| Still off after changes | Retrain on the updated sources and retest |
For a full routine, see how to test an AI chatbot before it talks to customers. If you want a rule for when the agent should step back and pass a question to a person, How to Set AI Confidence Thresholds for Human Review explains the idea.
Should you run one chatbot or several focused agents?
Several focused agents usually work better than one that tries to do everything. Chatbaser lets you keep multiple agents in one dashboard, each with its own responsibility.
- A pre-sales agent that answers questions about your offer and plans
- A support agent that handles access, delivery and how-to questions
- An internal agent that helps your team find your own processes and templates
Each one gets its own sources and boundaries, which makes answers easier to check and problems easier to trace. The same thinking is behind Scale.gg ScaleGPTs: Custom GPTs for Every Repeatable Marketing Job, where each tool does one repeatable job.
What does the video not confirm?
Our video is a short feature overview, so some practical details are not covered. Check these before you rely on Chatbaser for customer conversations:
🔎 Unconfirmed / rumour: The video does not say which file types are accepted, how large your sources can be, how many agents or messages each plan allows, which AI model sits behind the managed connection, which languages are supported, whether the agent can hand a chat to a human in real time, or how conversation data is stored and for how long. We make no claims about sales, support savings or accuracy rates.
- Shown in our video: named agents with one job; instructions, boundaries and personality; colours, avatar and placement; files and direct text as sources; managed AI connection with no personal key; interactive playground; logs, charts and exports; retraining; several agents in one dashboard
- Check before you buy: which plan includes Chatbaser today (shown as Pro at recording), usage limits, and how chat data is handled under your privacy policy
How do you build your first business chatbot?
- Pick one job, such as answering pre-sales questions about one product
- List the 20 questions people ask most often, from your inbox, comments or calls
- Write or gather approved answers and add them as files or direct text
- Set the instructions and boundaries, including when to point people to a human
- Brand it with your colours, avatar and placement
- Test in the playground with real, messy, multi-turn questions
- Go live in one place, then read the logs weekly and improve the sources
Who is Chatbaser right for?
In our view, it suits you if:
- You answer the same customer questions again and again
- You have clear, written material about your products, plans and policies
- You want a chatbot without setting up your own AI key
- You are already on, or considering, the Scale.gg Pro plan
It matters less if your answers change daily, if most questions need a personal judgement, or if you do not yet have written policies. In that case, write the policies first. A chatbot repeats what you give it; it cannot invent good policy for you.
