How Would You Build a Business AI Chatbot Today?
JeekMoll · reddit · 2026-07-20
A small software company asks how others would build a production AI chatbot today.
The post is looking for real-world advice on architecture choices: whether to use OpenAI, Claude, or open-source models; whether to adopt LangGraph, n8n, RAG, MCP, or custom code; how to connect the bot to CRM systems; and where to spend or save on a limited budget. The main goal is to understand what actually works in production, not just in demos.
