So without further wait lets get started !

Traditional support channels can lead to slow turnarounds, unanswered tickets, or simply overwhelmed team members. Chatbots offer a modern solution—but until now, there hasn’t been a truly TYPO3-native option that puts control and customization entirely in your hands.

A TYPO3 AI Chatbot is an intelligent virtual assistant that you can install on your TYPO3 website. It employs artificial intelligence (AI) to chat with your site visitors in real time—like a human customer support agent.

Rather than wait for someone to respond to messages or emails, the chatbot can instantly reply to frequent queries, assist visitors in finding appropriate pages, provide product information, or even obtain contact information—24/7.

Imagine a website that welcomes visitors with instant, helpful answers—no matter the time zone, team capacity, or day of the week. Now picture that same AI chatbot built directly into your TYPO3 platform, so you don’t have to juggle third-party tools or random scripts. That’s exactly why we created T3AC, the first-ever AI-powered chatbot extension for TYPO3.

Let’s get started on the journey with T3AC in the TYPO3 AI Universe!

T3AC is your virtual AI chatbot assistant from the TYPO3 AI universe. Instead of dealing with support messages and tickets manually, try T3AC—the first-ever TYPO3 AI chatbot designed to handle support tasks for you. It’s a smart way to save time, reduce manual work, and give your users instant, helpful replies—right from your TYPO3 website.

The Story Behind Building T3AC

At T3Planet, we spend our days and nights immersed in all things TYPO3. Over time, we’ve noticed a recurring challenge: no one had built a fully native chatbot that TYPO3 site owners could simply install and use without wrestling with third-party integrations. Many existing AI chatbots are either overly generic (with minimal brand customization) or so advanced that they’re locked behind hefty SaaS fees or complicated subscription models.

We asked ourselves: What if we could create a chatbot extension that leverages the power of AI for quick, accurate responses—yet still retains the simplicity of a TYPO3 plugin?

 That question sparked the blueprint for T3AC.

Early Challenges & Breakthroughs with T3AC

Building a powerful TYPO3 AI chatbot that truly fits TYPO3 users' needs wasn’t easy. But every challenge gave us the chance to improve and build something better. Here’s how we turned common problems into simple solutions—so you get an AI chatbot that just works.

Challenge 1: Making It Work Inside TYPO3

• Problem: Many AI tools require switching between platforms or logging into other dashboards—confusing and time-consuming.
• Our Breakthrough: T3AC is built directly into TYPO3. You can set it up, customize its theme, and manage everything from the TYPO3 backend—no extra accounts, no switching platforms. It feels like a natural part of your site.

Challenge 2: Fast AI without Slowing Down Your Site

• Problem: AI tools are often slow or cause delays, which can frustrate your visitors.
• Our Breakthrough: T3AC uses your own OpenAI API key and stores your site content in a local vector database. This means your chatbot replies quickly—without relying on slow, external services.

Challenge 3: Privacy and GDPR Compliance

• Problem: Many chatbot services send user data to third-party servers, which can raise legal and privacy issues—especially in the EU.
• Our Breakthrough: With T3AC, your chatbot data stays on your own server. You own the content, you control the access, and your visitors' privacy is fully respected—100% GDPR-friendly.

In short, T3AC is the chatbot we wanted for ourselves—direct, cost-effective, and easy to integrate.

1) Simple Setup

T3AC installs like any other TYPO3 extension. You enter your OpenAI API key, configure basic options (like language or appearance), and you’re ready to roll. No special servers or devOps magic required.

2) Self-Updating Knowledge

The chatbot crawls your website content according to a schedule you define. Whether you’re constantly publishing new blog posts or updating product pages, T3AC keeps its answers fresh. There’s no need to manually feed the AI with every single update.

3) Customizable UI/UX

Make T3AC look and feel like an organic part of your site—change colors, upload your brand’s logo, set a friendly greeting, and even tweak the avatar icon. Users appreciate a chatbot that feels uniquely “you.”

While building T3AC, we quickly realized that bridging AI and TYPO3 CMS functionality wasn’t as simple as we’d hoped. We tested various open-source libraries, overcame issues with real-time data retrieval, and refined the extension to ensure it played nicely with diverse TYPO3 environments.

Key breakthroughs included:

• Local Vector Indexing to give the AI chatbot rapid access to site content.
• Scheduler Integration for auto-crawling pages.
• Simplicity Over Complexity with an easy extension-based model (we didn’t want to reinvent the wheel or create yet another SaaS platform).

This underscores our core belief: you shouldn’t need a specialized AI development background to provide top-notch, 24/7 chat assistance on your TYPO3 site.

1. Public Sector / Government Organization

Problem: Citizens frequently ask about public services, application deadlines, local regulations, and document requirements. Government web portals are often dense, with critical information buried under multiple pages. Staff struggle to keep up with emails and phone queries.

Solution: T3AC acts as a virtual assistant for government websites. It provides instant answers to common queries like permit procedures, welfare programs, or public events—available 24/7 in multiple languages. With T3AC’s auto-crawling and Self up date features, even complex info becomes accessible, reducing pressure on help desks and improving civic engagement.

2. E-Commerce Entrepreneur (Small Business)

Problem: Constantly flooded with questions about shipping policies, returns, or product specs, the site owner struggles to respond quickly.

Solution: T3AC automatically fields all these inquiries. Shoppers no longer wait for email replies; they get instant answers or even links to relevant pages, significantly reducing cart abandonment.

3. Global Enterprise (Large-Scale)

Problem: An international company with multiple multilingual websites. The support volume is immense, and direct translation overhead is large.

Solution: With T3AC’s advanced language settings, each region’s chatbot can communicate in the local tongue. The company also sets a robust schedule for the crawler to keep fresh content indexed. Overall, they reduce an enormous workload while improving user satisfaction.

We could talk all day about T3AC’s smart AI or its clean, user-friendly interface. But what really makes T3AC stand out is how well it follows TYPO3’s core values—flexibility, scalability, and user control.

• No coding needed: Set it up with a simple wizard inside TYPO3. If you can edit content, you can use T3AC.
