It is 2:15pm on a Wednesday. A quantity surveyor at a main contractor in Manchester is preparing a subcontractor list for a hospital refurbishment. They need dry lining to twenty-four consultation rooms, two waiting areas, and a reception — all requiring specific fire-rated and acoustic board. They find your website, browse your commercial project gallery, and open the chat: 'Do you have experience with healthcare projects? We need fire-rated and acoustic dry lining for a hospital refurbishment in M13.' Without website chat, they would send an email you might not see until tomorrow. With AI Website Chat, the AI responds in seconds — confirming your commercial experience, asking about total floor area, fire rating requirements, and programme timeline. By 2:25pm, the QS has shared the project address and their direct line.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does website chat work for dry lining companies?

A chat widget appears on your website and responds instantly when a visitor clicks it. The AI asks about the dry lining work they need — partition types, board specifications, ceiling systems, floor areas, and programme timeline — and captures their contact details. You receive a lead summary with the full project scope so you can follow up with a detailed response.

Can the chat discuss specific board types and fire ratings?

Yes. During onboarding, the AI is configured with your specific capabilities — the board types you work with, your fire rating experience, acoustic systems you install, and ceiling types you specialise in. When a visitor asks whether you handle 60-minute fire-rated partitions or acoustic resilient bar systems, the chat responds accurately based on your training data.

Is there a message limit?

No. Website chat includes unlimited messages on all plans with no per-conversation charge. Whether your website attracts three enquiries a month or thirty, every visitor gets the same instant engagement. There is no cap on the number of simultaneous conversations either.

How is data protected?

All visitor data captured through the chat widget is managed under UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018. Conversations, contact details, and project specifications are encrypted during transmission and storage, held on UK and EU servers, and shared only with you. We never access or repurpose your website chat enquiry data.

Is AI Website Chat compliant with UK data protection law?

Yes — fully. Every piece of information captured through AI Website Chat is protected under UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018. Client names, contact details, site addresses, and project specifics are encrypted during transmission and while stored, and held exclusively on UK and EU-based servers. We never share, sell, or repurpose any data captured on your behalf. You maintain full control as the data controller, with the right to request deletion at any point. Your clients have the same right. Rapid Receptionist acts strictly as your data processor, operating under a formal data processing agreement. You can review our approach in detail in our privacy policy.

What if my dry liner business details change after setup?

If your prices change, you start offering a new service, or your availability shifts, just let us know and we update your AI Website Chat configuration for free. Routine business information updates — pricing, services offered, working hours, contact details — are included at no extra cost as part of the done-for-you service. We handle the change on our end, typically within one working day, so AI Website Chat always reflects your current dry liner business accurately.
