The space seems saturated and a bit confused. Sierra.ai comes to mind. I have tried building a product around this need myself (tiptap.chat) but it's taking a bunch of marketing to convince people. IMHO having a sufficiently context-rich bot like this on any resource-heavy website or service is a net-win. But the procedural chatbot era of the last ten years – those little annoying bubbles in the bottom right corner – has soured peoples' perceptions. :/

Best of luck if you try building something!

thanks, to be clear though, Sierra (much like many others in this space) are trying to solve it for the business/enterprise. The approach we are taking is to build for the consumer. Would love to hear more about tiptap.chat, what you were looking to build and what sort of challenges you encountered, if you were selling to customers. Your point on checkered history of chatbots being an adoption hurdle is well taken.
