AI chatbot live site lookup

A focused look at one operating layer inside Corthex.

Live site lookup is an opt-in Corthex tool that searches a connected website's public sitemap and pages as a fallback when uploaded knowledge and page context do not answer the question.

Written for website and storefront teams whose public policy, product, or signup pages change often. Search intent: Understand live website lookup for AI assistants.

01

Answer from public pages that changed after ingestion.

02

Avoid calling lookup on every casual message.

03

Show subtle progress states while lookup runs.

04

Merge lookup results into source citations.

Citable facts

Concrete signals without the noise.

Short facts make the page easier to scan for buyers, operators, and search systems.

09

Discovery

robots.txt, sitemap.xml, sitemap_index.xml, and current page context

Safety

Domain-limited, private-network blocked, timeout-bound, and cached

Use case

Policies, product information, signup paths, terms, and public pages

Routing

Hidden for greetings and exposed only when lookup intent is likely

Workflow

From source coverage to controlled customer answers.

The Corthex operating loop stays consistent, while the emphasis changes by page intent and audience.

Step 1

01

Connect the knowledge that should ground the answer

Corthex indexes files, URLs, product context, and operational policies so the assistant has a controlled evidence layer before it ever speaks to a visitor.

  • Upload documents, paste text, or import URLs.
  • Chunk and embed content for vector retrieval.
  • Keep source names available for answer citations.

Step 2

02

Answer with retrieval, page context, and tool policy

The assistant combines the user's message with relevant knowledge, current page context, and enabled tools such as commerce lookup or live site lookup.

  • Prefer exact source matches before general model knowledge.
  • Route unclear or risky questions to fallback behavior.
  • Show source-backed answers when evidence is available.

Step 3

03

Escalate, measure, and improve the coverage loop

Human teams can take over live conversations, review unresolved questions, and turn gaps into new knowledge sources or better prompts.

  • Use staff handoff for high-intent or complex conversations.
  • Track questions, leads, contact history, and usage.
  • Improve source coverage from real support demand.

Buyer intent

Why teams search for live site lookup

Teams usually reach this page when a generic chatbot is no longer enough. They need an assistant that can answer from controlled knowledge, cite what it used, and hand off to people when confidence, compliance, or revenue risk demands it.

  • Replace ungrounded answers with retrieval-backed responses.
  • Make product, policy, and support content usable inside chat.
  • Keep operators in control of escalation and improvement loops.

Corthex approach

Public website fallback should be bounded, visible, and robots-aware.

Corthex derives the allowed host from page context, checks robots rules, discovers sitemap URLs, ranks candidate pages, and returns bounded snippets as citations when the tool is needed.

  • Knowledge ingestion keeps the answer surface tied to current sources.
  • Page context and live lookup reduce stale responses on public sites.
  • Staff console and analytics close the gap between automation and support quality.

Corthex structure

Built for clear customer answers

Each Corthex page uses a direct answer, fact table, workflow, comparison framing, related questions, and structured data. That gives buyers, operators, and AI assistants clear passages to understand and reuse.

  • Short answer block near the top of the page.
  • Specific feature facts instead of vague slogans.
  • Internal links that make the Corthex platform map easy to follow.
