— A note from the operator

Ship Thread is run by one person.

No middlemen. No project managers. No 40-slide pitch decks. You talk to the same person who builds your chatbot. That's why we ship in seven days flat — there's no committee, no handoff, no Slack channel with twelve people waiting on each other.

We do one thing well, on a fixed timeline, for a fixed price. If your project needs more than that, we'll tell you on the call and point you somewhere else. Specialization is a feature.

— 01 The reality

You're losing customers while you sleep.

0%

of customers leave a business website without finding an answer to their question. Most never come back.

0min

is the response-time threshold where your lead conversion rate drops by 80%. Email lives in hours.

$0

is what most small businesses spend on after-hours customer service. That's where the gap is.

— 02 What we ship

Three services. No fluff.
Fixed price, fixed timeline.

— 05 The process

Seven days. Four steps.
Zero surprises.

01
Day 1

Discovery call

30 minutes. You show us your site, your top 10 customer questions, and what success looks like. We map the chatbot's scope and confirm scope before any payment.

02
Day 2–4

Training and build

We ingest your site, FAQs, and documents into the model. We build the chat widget styled to your brand and wire up lead capture and notifications.

03
Day 5–6

Review and iterate

You test the bot on a staging link. You send us anything that feels off — wording, tone, missing answers. We fix it. Then we fix it again until you're happy.

04
Day 7

Ship to production

One line of code on your site. The bot goes live. We watch the first 48 hours of conversations and tune anything that needs adjusting. 30 days of post-launch support starts here.

— 06 Frequently asked

Questions worth answering.

What if you don't ship on time? +

If your chatbot isn't live by day 7, you get a full refund. No exceptions, no fine print. We've structured the timeline with buffer, so this almost never happens — but if it does, you're covered.

How do payments work? +

After the discovery call, if we're a fit, we send you a payment link. We accept Visa, Mastercard, American Express, ACH/SEPA bank transfer, and major cryptocurrencies (USDC, USDT, BTC). Whatever works for you.

Which AI model powers the chatbot? +

We use the latest frontier models from Anthropic (Claude) or OpenAI (GPT), depending on your use case. We make the recommendation on the discovery call based on cost, speed, and the kind of conversations your customers will have.

What are the ongoing costs? +

No retainer from us. Your only ongoing cost is the API usage from the model provider — typically $15–60 per month for small businesses. We give you full access to your own account so there's no markup.

Will it work with my existing site? +

Yes — WordPress, Shopify, Webflow, Squarespace, custom React, plain HTML. Anywhere you can add one line of JavaScript, the chatbot works. We handle the integration.

What if I need changes after launch? +

First 30 days of changes are included — new questions, tone tweaks, adding new info. After that, you can manage the knowledge base yourself through a simple dashboard, or book a tune-up session anytime.

Why fixed price instead of hourly? +

Because you should know exactly what you're paying before we start. Hourly invites scope creep and surprises. Fixed price means we ship faster, you sleep better, and there's no awkward end-of-month email.

— 07 Beyond chatbots

We sometimes ship other things, too.

Same model: fixed price, fixed scope, fixed timeline. If your project doesn't fit cleanly, we'll tell you on the call.
