Different jobs
A chatbot is a hosted conversation product: models, guardrails, storage, moderation, and ongoing inference cost on your infrastructure or vendor bill.
ContinueWith is continuation infrastructure. Visitors keep their privacy in ChatGPT or Claude. You pay $0 for AI usage because you never proxy the conversation.
When the layer is the right fit
Choose ContinueWith when your goal is to participate in how people already research — with measurement at the handoff, provider neutrality, and minutes-to-live install.
Choose a chatbot when you must answer inside your domain, retain transcripts, or automate support workflows on your stack. Many teams will use both for different jobs; they are not interchangeable.

See it on your site
ContinueWith measures AI continuations at the website boundary — which assistant, which page, which prompt — without seeing private conversations. Install takes minutes.
