Trovify as a Chatbase alternative: grounded answers with citations

Trovify Team · · 2 min read

If you're evaluating Chatbase and want a grounded alternative, Trovify is a website AI assistant built on the same core idea — an AI chatbot trained on your own documents — with a strong emphasis on citations, honest "I don't know" answers, bilingual English/Arabic support, and optional lead capture. Both let you point an AI assistant at your content; the comparison below focuses on what Trovify does, so you can weigh it against Chatbase's current feature set.

Chatbase is a popular tool for building AI chatbots trained on your own data. Its features and pricing change over time — check chatbase.co for the latest — so this page describes Trovify's approach rather than making claims about Chatbase's current specifics.

What Trovify focuses on

Citations on every answer (by default). Trovify links each answer back to the source document it came from, and when your content doesn't cover a question it says so instead of guessing. If verifiable, source-backed answers matter to you, that's Trovify's core design.

English and Arabic out of the box. Answers come back in the visitor's language automatically, with right-to-left rendering in the widget — useful if you serve the MENA region.

No code, one-line embed. Upload your documents (PDF, Word, Markdown, text), or type/dictate answers, then paste one script tag — the widget runs in an isolated shadow DOM. Prefer no embed? Share the hosted chat link.

Lead capture + human handoff. Turn on the optional lead form so that when the assistant can't fully answer, or a visitor asks for a person, it collects their details and notifies you by email and webhook.

Analytics and teaching. See your top questions and the ones your content didn't cover (knowledge gaps), and correct answers directly with "teach the bot" — no re-upload needed.

How to compare

When you evaluate any "chatbot trained on your docs" tool, check:

  • Does it cite its sources, and does it say "I don't know" rather than guess?
  • Does it support your languages (and right-to-left, if you need Arabic)?
  • Is lead capture / human handoff included?
  • How much setup does it need — is it truly one-line, no-code?
  • What are the document, query, and pricing limits on the plan you'd choose?

Run the same real customer questions through each tool and compare the answers — especially how each handles a question your content doesn't cover.
