Businesses integrating AI chatbots for customer service face similar pricing across platforms like BotHelp and Salebot, with costs typically ranging from a few thousand rubles monthly plus variable token usage. However, the primary concern is not cost but accountability when a chatbot provides incorrect information. In Russia, the operator of the AI is legally responsible for the chatbot's errors, similar to how Air Canada was fined for misinformation provided by its bot. This responsibility extends to pricing and terms of service, which are considered public offers regardless of whether they come from a static webpage or a chatbot response, though extreme errors might be dismissed if a reasonable consumer would suspect a mistake.
