Getting started
What is AskBurg?
AskBurg is an AI-powered assistant that answers questions, explains topics, drafts and rewrites text, and helps you brainstorm and plan. It is powered by the AskBurg model and designed to be fast, clear, and honest.
How do I start using it?
Open the assistant on our home page and type your question. There is nothing to install and no account needed to begin. Try it now.
What can I ask?
Almost anything: explanations, summaries, writing help, ideas, plans, comparisons, and step-by-step guidance. If a question is unclear, AskBurg will ask a short follow-up so it can help properly.
Products and software
What products does AskBurg offer?
AskBurg offers four core products: the Web Assistant for fast web-based questions, the Browser Companion extension for in-context summarization and drafting across websites, the Knowledge Engine for RAG on private documents, and the White-Label Suite for running fully branded AI assistants. Explore them on our Products page.
How does the Browser Companion extension work?
The AskBurg Browser Companion lives in your browser sidebar or popup. It extracts readable text from your active tab to produce summaries, extract action items, and draft email replies. It does not track your browsing history or inspect private web forms. Learn more on the Companion page.
Can AskBurg connect directly to our internal databases?
Yes. Through the AskBurg Knowledge Engine, you can connect PostgreSQL, MySQL, Snowflake, BigQuery, and REST APIs. Queries execute with role-based access control and never leak across tenant boundaries.
The AskBurg model
What model powers AskBurg?
AskBurg runs on the AskBurg model, built and tuned by our team to be helpful, concise, and trustworthy. It is the single model behind everything you experience in the product.
Can AskBurg make mistakes?
Yes. Like any AI assistant, AskBurg can occasionally be wrong or incomplete. It is tuned to say when it is unsure, but you should still double-check anything important before relying on it.
Does it remember my conversation?
Within a conversation, AskBurg keeps context so you can ask follow-ups naturally. Saved history across sessions and devices is part of our upcoming accounts feature.
Pricing and plans
Is AskBurg free?
Yes, AskBurg is free to use today within fair daily limits, with no card required. See the pricing page for details.
What do paid plans include?
Paid plans are launching soon and will add higher limits, priority responses, longer context, advanced drafting tools, and saved history. Paid members will receive a benefits form by email to activate their perks first.
How do I get notified when paid plans launch?
Join the early-access list from the pricing page or contact us and we will email you before the public launch.
Custom chatbots, RAG and white-label
What is RAG, and how does AskBurg use it?
RAG stands for retrieval-augmented generation. AskBurg ingests your content, stores it as vector embeddings, and for each question retrieves the most relevant passages before answering. This grounds responses in your actual data and reduces made-up answers. See the technical overview.
What data can I train the chatbot on?
Common sources include PDFs and Office documents, websites and sitemaps, help centers and FAQs, tools like Notion and Confluence, Google Drive, Markdown and text, spreadsheets, and content from APIs and databases. The index refreshes automatically as your content changes.
Is my data used to train your base model?
No. Your data is used to answer your questions through retrieval, and it is never used to train our base model without your explicit consent. Each customer's knowledge base is kept in its own isolated, encrypted index.
How do I deploy the chatbot?
You can add an embeddable web widget with a single snippet, integrate via our REST API and SDK, or connect channels like Slack and Microsoft Teams. Answers can include citations back to the source document.
Can I run it fully under my own brand?
Yes. White-label is available on special plans and removes all AskBurg branding: your logo, colors, name, and a custom domain, with reseller options for agencies and platforms. See white-label details.
How is my data kept secure?
Data is isolated per customer, encrypted in transit and at rest, and protected by access controls so the chatbot only surfaces what a given user is allowed to see. You can request deletion of your data and indexes at any time.
Privacy and data
Is my data private?
We treat your conversations as yours and keep the experience clean and secure. Read our Privacy Policy for the full details on what we collect and why.
Do you sell my information?
No. We do not sell your personal information. See the Privacy Policy for how data is handled.
