Domain chatbots that give precise answers

from chatbots to 'real' intelligence

Most chatbots today can hold a conversation, but very few can give precise answers. They sound fluent but often miss the mark—hallucinating facts, pulling the wrong data, or responding vaguely. In business, “close enough” isn’t good enough. Whether it’s answering a customer’s policy question, a resident’s request, or an employee’s legal concern, people need accurate, grounded responses they can trust.

At CipherLabs, we design domain chatbots that do more than talk. They retrieve the right information at the right time from curated data sources—delivering clear, actionable answers instead of guesswork.

The problem: chatbots that sound smart but lack substance

Most off-the-shelf chatbots rely too heavily on general-purpose models. That’s why:

  • A bank’s chatbot might misquote a loan policy because it wasn’t trained on the latest terms.


  • A hospital’s chatbot might give vague directions instead of pointing to the correct ward.


  • A support chatbot might send customers in circles, escalating simple issues to human agents.

These systems fail not because the models are weak, but because they lack domain grounding—a way to ensure answers are tied to the right knowledge base.

The CipherLabs approach: retrieval-first domain chatbots

We specialize in building chatbots that understand context, retrieve the right data, and respond with precision. Our retrieval-first design combines clean indexing, smart chunking, and context-aware flows, ensuring that answers are specific, correct, and useful.

Here’s what that looks like in practice:

Monitoring billions of conversations for brand insight

We built an AI-powered chatbot that tracks over one billion online conversations to surface mentions of a client’s business. Instead of dumping raw data, it delivers precise insights on customer sentiment, market trends, and brand perception—helping executives make informed decisions with clarity, not clutter.

A communication hub that actually talks back

Working with a retirement center, we built a resident-facing chatbot paired with a robot called Temi —a kind of walking iPad for seniors. Residents could ask simple questions like:

“Hey Temi, what’s the next activity today?”

and Temi would answer:

“The next activity today is Bingo with Budd at 4:00 PM.”

The chatbot was trained on dining menus, floor plans, visiting hours, and activities—so it always gave residents precise, helpful answers without sending them hunting through posters or asking staff.

Reviewing contracts with pinpoint accuracy

We designed an AI contract analysis chatbot that reviews uploaded agreements with 93% accuracy. Instead of overwhelming users with dense legal text, it pinpoints risky clauses and clearly flags contracts as safe or unsafe to sign. For legal and compliance teams, precision at this level translates to massive time savings and reduced risk.

Why precise answers matter

When chatbots are grounded in domain-specific knowledge, organizations see immediate benefits:

  • Faster responses – No more escalations for routine questions


  • Higher trust – Users rely on the chatbot because it’s accurate


  • Better scalability – Staff are freed from repetitive tasks


  • Lower risk – Responses are consistent and backed by the right source material


In short, precision isn’t a nice-to-have—it’s the difference between a chatbot that frustrates and one that actually adds value.

Building the future of domain chatbots

At CipherLabs, we believe the future of chatbots isn’t about making them more “human-like”—it’s about making them more reliable. By grounding them in domain-specific knowledge and retrieval-first design, we build systems that don’t just answer questions, but answer them right.

Whether it’s surfacing insights from billions of conversations, guiding residents in real time, or reviewing contracts with legal-grade accuracy, our domain chatbots are built for precision. Because in business, the right answer at the right time makes all the difference.
