AI Chatbot for Middleman Sites

Plenty of Middleman sites are marketing sites built years ago that still do their job. One line in the layout adds an assistant without reopening the Gemfile or the build.

For marketing sites and documentation built with Middleman

AI assistant added without touching the Gemfile

No Gemfile Changes

Middleman builds are Ruby, and Ruby dependency updates on an older project are rarely a pleasant afternoon. Nothing here touches the Gemfile, the bundle or the build.

Adding the Asyntai tag to a Middleman layout

One Line in the Layout

Add the tag to your layout before the closing body tag and every generated page carries it. No extension, no helper, no config change.

AI modernising an older marketing site

Modernises a Site Without Rebuilding It

A site that still converts does not need replatforming to answer visitors properly. This is the cheapest available improvement to what visitors experience.

Chatbot answering product and pricing questions

Answers Product and Pricing Questions

The specifics a marketing page leaves out: limits, integrations, whether something suits a particular case. Answered in the moment rather than in an email.

Chatbot answering visitors in several languages

Thirty-Six Languages

Detected per visitor, without touching your i18n setup or generated paths.

Frequently Asked Questions

What Middleman users ask first

How do I add it?
One tag in your layout before the closing body tag, then rebuild and deploy.
Does it need a gem?
No. The Gemfile, the bundle and the build are all untouched, which matters on older projects.
Will it work on an old Middleman version?
Yes. It is plain HTML in the output, so your Middleman version is irrelevant to it.
Where does its knowledge come from?
Your published pages, crawled on demand, plus uploads for anything not on the site.
Can I add it to only some pages?
Yes. Use a different layout for those pages, or add it to that layout only.
Does the build get slower?
No. Ruby never touches it; the browser fetches it at runtime.
Language coverage?
Thirty-six, picked from the visitor’s own wording rather than a configured locale.
And if the allowance is spent?
Replies pause until the cycle resets, or you raise the ceiling. Free covers a hundred conversations, Starter twenty-five hundred.
Across a few client sites?
Each one separate: own index, own instructions, own transcripts. One on Free, two on Starter, three on Standard, twenty on Pro.

What an AI Assistant Adds to an Older Static Site

Working Sites Get Left Alone, Correctly

A marketing site built five years ago that still generates leads is not a problem to be solved. Rebuilding it risks the thing that works in exchange for a nicer codebase.

The sensible improvements are the ones that change what visitors experience without touching the build. Answering their questions is the clearest example.

Ruby Builds Age Unpredictably

Anyone who has returned to an old Ruby project knows the routine: the bundle no longer installs, a native extension fails, an afternoon disappears.

Nothing here enters that environment. The build you can still run stays the build you can still run.

Marketing Pages Deliberately Omit Detail

Good landing copy leaves things out. That is a feature until a visitor needs the omitted detail to make a decision and there is nowhere to ask.

Handling those questions in chat keeps the page focused while still converting the visitor who needed one more fact.

Contact Forms Are a Poor Substitute

A form asks the visitor to commit before they know enough. Most will not, so the question goes unasked and the visit ends quietly.

Answering first and collecting details second inverts that, which produces both more answers and better enquiries.

Reversible Changes Survive Review

On a site nobody wants to break, any change has to be obviously safe. A one-line diff in a layout is about as reviewable as it gets.

It also means the decision can be reversed instantly if the conversations turn out not to be useful.
