AI answers — not article lists
Readers ask questions in plain language. The AI synthesises answers from your KB content with source citations — instantly.
Why Multibase
Included, not an add-on
AI answers are part of every plan. Intercom charges $0.99 per resolution. Zendesk charges $1.50. Multibase includes 100–unlimited queries depending on plan.
Source citations
Every AI answer links back to the source article. Readers can verify and dive deeper. No hallucination black box.
Streaming responses
Answers stream in real-time via SSE. First token in under 500ms. Readers see the answer forming immediately.
Hallucination guard
When confidence is low, the system falls back to keyword search instead of guessing. No made-up answers.
Multilingual
AI answers work in every locale. Ask in Russian, get an answer from Russian content. No cross-language confusion.
Rate limiting built in
Per-IP daily limits prevent abuse. Scale AI usage predictably without surprise bills.
