Live, editable version ships with your subscription. This preview shows the experience, not your office's real answers — live client chatbots are powered by Claude, and this preview is a simplified simulation.

How It Works

From your website to a working chatbot — in four steps.

No IT department required. Your existing website content becomes the chatbot's only source of truth.

01

Send us your site

You give us your office's website address. That's the entire onboarding call.

02

We index your content

Your published hours, eligibility rules, and forms become the chatbot's only source — nothing invented.

03

Veterans get answers

One line of code puts a branded chat window on your site. It answers instantly, day or night.

04

Hard cases reach you

Anything beyond routine questions escalates straight to your staff. The bot never rules on a claim.

Why Minuteman

Built for this exact job. Nothing borrowed from a city-hall product.

Speaks only from your content

Every answer is grounded in your office's own published material. No guessing, no invented benefit rulings, always a hand-off to your staff or the VA for anything consequential.

Built by a veteran, for veterans

Founded by a 100% disabled veteran who has sat on both sides of a VSO desk. This isn't a repurposed municipal chatbot. It was built for this exact conversation.

Set up without an IT department

One line of embed code. No procurement cycle, no server to maintain, no dashboard to learn beyond what you already need.

Pricing

Three tiers. No setup fee. Cancel any time.

Package Monthly Conversations Best For
Basic $299/mo 500 / mo Small county VSOs
Standard Recommended $499/mo 2,000 / mo Mid-size VSOs, small colleges
Pro $799/mo Unlimited Large county VSOs & college veteran centers

All plans include your full site indexed, the embed widget, and a usage dashboard. Nothing is billed until your chatbot is live.

Minuteman AI provides general information based on your office's published content. It is not a substitute for professional benefits counseling. All benefit determinations are made solely by the VA and authorized VSOs.

  • U.S. Army Ranger Tab, 4th Infantry & 1st Cavalry Divisions

  • Veteran Outreach Officer, Saddleback College (2010–2011)
  • Based in California

"I've sat across the desk from a VSO officer, and I've watched offices like that get more calls than their staff can keep up with. This company exists because that gap is real, and it's solvable."

  • Former Software Development Engineer, Amazon

Jon and Chris served in the same squad in 1st Cavalry Division, training together before deploying to Iraq, running missions to halt the flow of EFPs and foreign militants smuggling through the southern marshland.

Years later, Chris left a software engineering career at Amazon to hike the Appalachian Trail — a reset that brought him back to serving veterans, this time from behind the keyboard instead of a rifle. He leads Minuteman AI's engineering.

Questions

Before you reach out.

Where is our data stored, and who can see it?+

Conversation data and your indexed content are stored securely and are never sold to third parties. Only your office's designated staff can view your dashboard and conversation logs, not other clients, not the public.

How do we pay for this, and what budget line does it fit under?+

Minuteman AI is billed monthly like any SaaS subscription, typically fitting under a general operating or admin budget line rather than a capital IT expense. No setup fee, no multi-year contract required.

How long does setup actually take?+

You give us your website address. That's the entire onboarding call. We index your site, and your chatbot is typically ready to embed within a few business days.

What happens when the chatbot doesn't know the answer?+

It says so, and escalates to your staff rather than guessing. The chatbot only answers from your office's own published content and never invents a benefit ruling or eligibility answer.

Can we cancel if it's not working for us?+

Yes, any time. No cancellation fee, no long-term lock-in — it's month-to-month.

Do we need IT staff to set this up or maintain it?+

No. One line of embed code, no server to maintain, no procurement cycle beyond a standard subscription purchase.

Fifteen minutes. One veteran to another.

Read the one-pager, try the demo, or just email — whatever's easiest. No pressure, no scripts.
