How Long Does It Take to Set Up an AI Website Assistant?

The free private preview is built in under 24 hours, no card needed. Nothing goes live on your site until you approve it and start a 30-day trial.

A free private working preview of AskMyBusiness is built in under 24 hours, with no card required. Nothing goes live on your actual website until you look at the preview and approve it. Once you approve, checkout starts a 30-day free trial and that's the point a card gets entered.

Two separate clocks

There's a build clock and a go-live clock, and they aren't the same thing. The build clock is under 24 hours — that's how long it takes to have a working private preview to look at, built from the business's own published content. The go-live clock is entirely up to the owner: nothing is public, and no card is required, until the owner reviews the preview and says yes.

Why it can move that fast

The assistant is built from what the business has already published — service pages, pricing, hours, policies, booking pages. There's no content to write from scratch and no separate knowledge base to assemble by hand. Once it's live, installing it on the actual site is one line of code, with no rebuild and no platform migration, regardless of whether the site runs on WordPress, Wix, Squarespace, Webflow, Shopify, Google Tag Manager, or Framer. A business with no website yet can run it at its own link with a QR code instead, which removes the install step entirely.

What's already built by the time you see the preview

The preview isn't a mockup standing in for a future build — it's the assistant itself, already answering from the business's own content, already showing a source line on every answer, and already set up to hand a visitor off to a real person when needed. There's nothing left to build after approval; the remaining step is the one-line install itself, or setting up the standalone link if there's no site yet.

What happens between preview and go-live

The preview stays private by default — it isn't visible to the public until the business approves it for that. During this window the owner can look at what the assistant would say, check its sources, and decide whether it's ready. If something looks wrong, the underlying content can be corrected before anything goes live.

What it looks like in practice

A business owner requests a preview on a Monday and has it back the same day or the next morning — under 24 hours later. They ask the preview assistant, "What are your hours on Sunday?" It answers from the business's own hours page and shows the source line, for example "Source: Hours page." The owner reviews a handful of these, confirms the answers and handoffs look right, and only then approves it to go live and install on the real site.

Common questions

How long until I have something to actually look at?

Under 24 hours for the free private working preview, and no card is needed to get it.

Does the preview go live automatically once it's built?

No. It stays private until the owner approves it. Approval is what starts the 30-day free trial, and that's when a card is entered.

Once I approve it, how long does the real install take?

The install itself is one line of code on the site you already have — no rebuild, no migration. If there's no website yet, the assistant can run at its own link with a QR code instead. Get the free private preview, built in under 24 hours, no card, at askmy.business.
