The difference

Most chatbots cannot hold a conversation in Sinhala

Sri Lankan customers do not type formal English when they are shopping. They type Sinhala, they type Singlish, and they switch between the two mid-sentence. A chatbot built for the US market breaks on the first message.

Sinhala, Singlish and English

Lia understands "mila kiyada", "මිල කීයද" and "how much does it cost" as the same question, and replies in whichever language the customer used.

Trained on your website

Your pages, prices and policies are indexed into a knowledge base. Answers come from your real content, so the assistant does not invent packages you do not sell.

Under the hood

What goes into a Lexiata AI assistant

Lia AI is the assistant we built for our own site and now install for clients. Every feature below is running in production, not on a roadmap.

Google Gemini engine

Fast, current language models with a fallback chain, so a single provider outage does not take your assistant offline.

Site knowledge base

Your pages, products and FAQs are indexed and searched on every question. Update a price on your site and the assistant updates with it.

Lead capture

Name, number and requirement are collected inside the conversation and stored in your WordPress admin. No lead sits in a chat log unread.

WhatsApp handoff

When a conversation is ready to close, the assistant passes it to WhatsApp with the context attached, so your team does not start from zero.

Spam protection

Cloudflare Turnstile plus rate limiting keeps bots and abuse away from your API budget.

Conversation logs

Every conversation is stored and searchable. Read what customers actually ask, then fix the pages that keep confusing them.

Comparison

Our assistant

Lia AI - the Sinhala AI assistant built by Lexiata

Lia AI is the assistant running on this website. She was built in-house at Lexiata to solve a problem we kept hitting on client projects: Sri Lankan visitors ask questions in Sinhala at 11pm, and a contact form cannot answer them.

Since launching, Lia has handled enquiries about pricing, hosting, delivery times and package differences — the same questions our team was answering by WhatsApp one message at a time. When a conversation is worth a human reply, Lia hands it over with the context intact.

The name “Lia” belongs to Lexiata, but the technology does not have to. We build the same assistant under your brand, with your name, your tone and your content. Talk to Lia in the corner of this page to see what your customers would experience.

Questions

AI chatbot FAQ

One-time build cost. You use your own Google Gemini API key, so there is no per-conversation fee from us.

Yes. Lia handles Sinhala script, Singlish (Sinhala typed in English letters) and English, including messages that mix all three. It replies in the language the customer used. This is the main reason Sri Lankan businesses choose a locally built assistant over an international chatbot subscription.

Your website content is indexed into a knowledge base, so the assistant answers from your real pages, products and prices. When you update a price on your site, the assistant picks up the change. It does not invent packages or quote numbers you never published.

Yes. On a WooCommerce store the assistant can reference products, categories, stock status and shipping information, and point customers to the right product page instead of giving a vague answer.

We charge a one-time build cost, not a monthly subscription. You connect your own Google Gemini API key, which has a free tier that covers normal traffic for most small businesses. If you prefer us to manage the key and monitor usage, a managed plan is available.

A basic assistant goes live in three to five days. A business assistant with lead capture and WooCommerce awareness takes seven to ten days, including testing on your real content before launch.

It says so rather than guessing, and offers a handoff to WhatsApp or your contact form with the conversation attached. Your team continues from where the customer left off instead of asking them to repeat everything.

Every conversation is logged and searchable inside your WordPress admin. Most clients find this as valuable as the chatbot itself — it shows exactly which pages are confusing and which questions your site never answers.

Yes, as long as it runs on WordPress. We audit the site first and confirm the plugin stack and hosting can support it before quoting.
