Problem & solution

A third-party bot as a black box — or your own AI in your tenant

Today · third-party AI bot
  • The chatbot runs as a black box at the provider — model and data are out of your hands.
  • Vendor lock-in: switching models means migration, new contracts and effort.
  • No clean handover to a human, no traceability of the answers.
With WebChat
  • You choose the model yourself — Copilot Studio, Foundry, Azure OpenAI or your own.
  • The bot runs in your Microsoft tenant — no lock-in, swappable at any time.
  • Human-in-the-Loop: a human takes over with one click, every answer in the audit log.

Features

More than answers — your AI with context

Human-in-the-Loop
The bot can be disabled per conversation via a Teams card — an employee takes over seamlessly, reminders prevent dropped requests, no double answers.
Knowledge from your systems
Via Power Automate your AI agent accesses CRM, knowledge base and SharePoint — answers are based on your real data, not generic web knowledge.
Hot-Lead-Detection
The AI detects buying signals and urgent requests in the chat and escalates instantly to the right Teams channel — no hot lead is left unnoticed.

Frequently asked questions

FAQ & AI operations

Which AI models can I use?

Copilot Studio, Microsoft Foundry, Azure OpenAI or your own models. WebChat itself runs no AI — you choose freely and avoid vendor lock-in.

What does “no vendor lock-in” mean?

Model, prompts and data stay in your Microsoft tenant. You can switch the model at any time without changing the provider or the platform.

Can a human step in at any time?

Yes. Human-in-the-Loop: the bot can be disabled per conversation via a Teams card, an employee takes over, and reminders prevent dropped requests.

Who is liable for the AI answers?

The operator (OLG Hamm, 12 May 2026, not yet final). Your own AI in your tenant, Human-in-the-Loop and Microsoft audit logs give full control and traceability.

What does WebChat cost?

Pay per Channel: you pay per Microsoft Teams channel, not per user — unlimited agents per channel. Billed through Microsoft. Terms at webch.at/pricing.

Power Platform

Using Microsoft Power Platform Triggers and Actions, WebChat automatically retrieves data from your systems (CRM, ERP, ticket system, etc.) and integrates it directly into the conversation. This way, your employees or the AI always respond with up-to-date, correct information: fully integrated into the Teams chat.
