🚀 Built a Private AI Customer Support Chatbot using Phi-3, Python, .NET, and SQL Server.
The chatbot answers customer queries using a company's internal FAQs, documentation, and support knowledge base without relying on expensive external AI APIs.
⚙️ How it works
• Knowledge base converted into vector embeddings using sentence-transformers
• User query processed via .NET Core API
• Python service performs semantic search to find relevant answers
• Context sent to Phi-3 LLM to generate a response
• Instant reply returned to the chat interface
✅ Fully self-hosted AI solution
✅ Works with private company data
✅ Low operational cost
✅ Easy integration with websites or apps
Excited about building AI-powered support systems and private LLM solutions for businesses.
An AI customer support chatbot for a fictional Nigerian food delivery business, Lagos Fresh Kitchen. It runs on n8n Cloud and uses Claude Haiku 5.5 as the AI model. The workflow is three nodes: a chat trigger receives the customer’s message, an AI Agent processes it, and the Anthropic Chat Model writes the answer.
How it behaves
The AI Agent has a system message that sets the rules. It must answer only from the business information, never invent prices, areas, hours or policies, and use a fixed fallback line when the answer isn’t there: “I don’t have enough information to answer that accurately. Please contact our support team.”
