FAQ · talking AI avatar chatbot

What you're wondering before calling.

Cost and contract

01How much does an AI avatar cost for an SME?

From €180 excl. VAT per month, plus set-up at €690 excl. VAT. The diagnostic, from €290, is deducted if you subscribe for a year. There is no per-minute billing.

02What happens if I go over my plan?

Each conversation beyond the plan is billed €0.15 excl. VAT. Nothing stops and the avatar keeps answering. If the overage recurs, we suggest the next plan up rather than letting the bill climb.

03Can I change plans?

Yes, upwards at any time. Conversations not used in the month are not carried over.

04How do I cancel?

The recommended commitment is 12 months. After that, the subscription continues monthly and can be cancelled with one month's notice. See the terms and conditions.

Data and compliance

05Where is my data hosted?

Each subprocessor is listed on our Security page. Hosting details are set out in the data processing agreement signed before launch.

06Is my data used to train an AI?

No. Your data is used to run your avatar, never to train an AI model. Your avatar still gets better over time: you enrich its content based on the questions your customers ask it.

07Does the avatar comply with the AI Act?

It announces that it is an AI from the first exchange, in writing and out loud, as Article 50 has required since 2 August 2026.

72% of French people would feel misled, or find it unacceptable, if a company did not tell them from the start that they are talking to an AI. Ipsos bva for ESCDA, Customer Service Observatory, 2025

08Is Twimi GDPR compliant?

Yes. In a project, your company remains the controller of its visitors' data; ARY acts as processor, under a contract signed before any access. Every sub-processor is named on the Security page, with its country. Your data is never used to train an AI model. Speech synthesis runs on a French AI, Mistral AI.

How it works

09And if it doesn't know the answer?

It says it doesn't have the knowledge to answer, then offers a next step: rephrase, point to the right page, or pass the question to your team with the context.

10Do we need to rebuild our site?

No. The avatar is installed with one line of code. We only rebuild a site when the diagnostic shows that is what's holding you back.

11Do you work with our current tools?

Yes. We have already linked sites to management software, to financing bodies, to an online shop and to task management tools. We only replace a tool if it's essential.

12How long does a project take?

The timeline depends on how your current data is organised. The diagnostic assesses it and gives you a firm date.

13Do you have an offer for chatbot vendors and agencies?

Yes. Keep your chatbot and add an avatar in one click: Avatar (SDK), from €39 excl. VAT per month, animates the face inside your own interface. Agencies can also choose Avatar Widget or Avatar Agent. See the Partners.

14My sector is neither automotive nor retail. Is this for me?

Yes, if your customers ask questions and your teams answer them. Every trade has its customers, its questions and its tools. We start from yours: at the diagnostic, we look at your tools and your requests, and we tell you honestly what we can connect.

The three obstacles

15Isn't that too expensive?

Our prices are public, and the diagnostic costs from €290, deducted if you subscribe for a year.

16I don't see what I'd use it for.

The diagnostic starts from your problems, not from the technology.

17Is the offer mature?

Yes. Twimi is live at Cahé Cosmetics, where the avatar “Hélène” advises customers on the brand's real catalogue. We deliver in milestones, with safeguards.
