Show HN: A website chatbot that also uses APIs

Hi! "Another chatbot for your content" you may ask? Not really! Let me explain.

I have realized that there's an untapped potential for ChatGPT plugins: why leave them locked up in the OpenAI store? Let's embed them on websites or share using links!

Let's make chatbots ~ do stuff ~, not just talk about what they know.

That's how Chatwith was born. It is a chat widget, it scrapes your website, knowledge page, notion etc - but more importantly, it also understands your API. It can interact with that API on your or your visitors' behalf.

Some use cases & ideas:

- Shopify bot - ask it for order status and invoice

- Realtor - ask for budget, provide listings

- Survey - ask questions, collect answers, submit to Typeform

- Airline service - get your boarding pass

- Mixpanel - talk to your analytics

In other words:

- Talk to APIs & hot data

- ChatGPT plugin on every website

- Your SaaS can be a chatbot

- APIs made accessible (they were reserved for devs until now)

- Create an API, use chat as the interface - skip the frontend

I am trying to envision a future where website visitors are empowered to just say what they want from the business - instead of navigating endless dashboards and documentation.

I'm looking for some feedback about my product! lmk
