Public-interest AI, local-first tools, and helpful bots

Build useful AI with people, not around them.

Botsville is creating practical AI helpers for small businesses, education, accessibility, local hardware projects, and community support. This public site now includes tools you can use immediately in your browser while the real Pip/Hermes chat gateway is being connected.

Preview a customer CSV in your browser, detect likely contact fields, and understand what the future Botsville CRM import should build. The file never leaves your computer in this static demo.

Parts planner

Make a hardware/project parts checklist that can later be handed to Pip or a Botsville helper when real chat is live.

Gateway pending.

The real Hermes-powered Pip agent is not connected to the public site yet. The widget is now an honest temporary site guide, not a fake agent.

Small business

We are building a CRM importer for teams that only have spreadsheets today.

Education

Pip

The friendly Botsville guide

Pip should become a real conversational assistant connected through an approved gateway to the Hermes Pip agent. Until that backend is approved, Pip on this page can only answer basic website questions locally and cannot save memory, send SMS, create accounts, or access internal systems.

Part 3 candidate note

Pip is currently a public static site guide only. Name, mobile-number intake, returning-visitor recognition, SMS handoff, memory, and real Hermes chat remain disabled until the approved gateway is live.
