Services · Mobile app development · AI chatbots

Customer service chatbots built for UK law, UK customers and every nation you serve.

Codeeo provides AI chatbot development for UK organisations that answer large volumes of customer questions across the country: national retailers, lenders and insurers, utilities, housing providers, private healthcare groups and multi site service businesses. We build chatbots for your website, app and messaging channels that answer from your approved content, respect UK GDPR and PECR, recognise where England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland differ, and pass customers to the right team when a person should take over.

Codeeo has no UK office. Our team of 80+ in Dubai, Riyadh and Karachi works remotely with UK clients, running discovery, governance reviews and testing by video call, with documentation your compliance and data protection teams can file.

Built for
UK organisations with customers in several regions or nations: retailers, financial services firms, utilities, housing providers and healthcare groups.

Built for national scale

What a chatbot needs when it serves the whole of the UK.

A chatbot for one shop can get away with one set of answers. A chatbot serving customers from Inverness to Truro cannot. Rules on tenancies, some consumer matters and bank holidays differ between the four nations; branch networks change; regulated firms need answers that a compliance team has reviewed and can evidence later. On top of that, a national brand meets the full range of customers, including people in vulnerable circumstances, people using assistive technology and people writing in Welsh. The capabilities below address those national concerns directly. They sit on top of the basics every customer service chatbot needs: answers grounded in your approved content, clean handover to staff and honest refusal when the bot does not know. Most organisations launch with a subset and add the rest as each part proves itself in real conversations.

Explain your project
  • Nation aware answers

    Where your policies differ by nation, the chatbot asks or infers where the customer is and answers from the right version. A tenancy question from Glasgow, a bank holiday query from Belfast and a delivery question from Cardiff each get the answer that applies there, not a generic English default.

    Customers get the rule that applies where they live.

  • Postcode branch and service finder

    Customers type a postcode and the chatbot returns the nearest branch, depot or service area, with opening hours and access details from one central list. Updates made by your operations team reach every channel at once, so closures and holiday hours never contradict each other.

    One branch list, correct everywhere.

  • Reviewed answers for regulated topics

    For firms supervised by the FCA, answers on products, charges or eligibility come only from text your compliance team has approved, with version history. The chatbot gives information, not advice, and routes anything that looks like a request for a recommendation to qualified staff.

    Wording your compliance team can stand behind and evidence.

  • Vulnerability and complaint signals

    The chatbot watches for signs that a customer may be in vulnerable circumstances, such as bereavement, illness or financial difficulty, and for expressions of dissatisfaction that should be logged as complaints. Either signal triggers a gentle handover to trained staff, in line with the FCA Consumer Duty and similar expectations elsewhere.

    Customers who need care reach a person quickly.

  • Welsh language support

    Organisations offering services in Welsh, including those covered by the Welsh language standards, can run the chatbot in Welsh and English with equal prominence. Welsh answers are written or checked by a fluent reviewer rather than left to machine translation alone.

    Welsh speakers are served in their own language.

  • Accessible by design

    The chat window meets WCAG 2.2, works with screen readers, keyboard navigation and zoom, and avoids time limits that lock people out. That supports your Equality Act duties and, for public bodies, the accessibility regulations that apply to their websites and apps.

    The chatbot works for customers using assistive technology.

  • Multi team routing

    National organisations rarely have one support team. The chatbot classifies each handover by topic, region and urgency and sends it to the right queue, whether that is billing in one city, repairs in another or a specialist complaints unit.

    Every handover lands with the team that can resolve it.

  • Peak season capacity

    Black Friday, the January sales, energy price changes and the start of the academic year all bring national surges. Hosting and limits are load tested in advance, and seasonal answer sets can be published on a schedule so the chatbot is ready on the day.

    The chatbot stays fast when the whole country asks at once.

  • Audit trail and reporting

    Every conversation, answer source and handover is logged with timestamps and retained for the period you set. Reports break down volumes, containment and handover reasons by region and channel, giving leadership and regulators a clear view of how the chatbot behaves.

    Evidence on hand when anyone asks how the bot behaved.

  • Data protection controls

    Lawful basis per data field, retention limits, redaction of card and account numbers typed into chat, UK hosting where you require it, and a full processor list. We provide the technical detail your data protection officer needs for a DPIA.

    UK GDPR controls in place from the first release.

Who this is for

Four UK organisations a national chatbot suits.

A nationwide chatbot is a governance project as much as a technical one. It suits organisations that already have a lot of customer contact, a clear owner for customer service and someone accountable for compliance. If that describes you, the four profiles below show how the work usually looks. If you are a single site business, one of our city pages is probably a better starting point, because the decisions are simpler and the first release can be much smaller.

01

National retailers and ecommerce brands

Retailers with stores across the UK and a large online operation get the same questions everywhere: delivery cut offs, returns, store stock and opening hours. A chatbot reading your product feed, order system and branch list answers those on the site, in the app and on WhatsApp, and adjusts for nation specific bank holidays. During peak trading it absorbs the surge in order tracking questions, leaving your contact team free for faulty goods, missing parcels and complaints.

Refunds and faulty goods go to staff.

02

Lenders, insurers and payment firms

FCA regulated firms want faster service without new conduct risk. We build chatbots that explain products and processes from approved wording, help customers find documents or forms, and spot vulnerability and complaint signals early. Every answer is traceable to its source, and nothing resembling personal advice or a financial promotion goes out without review. The chatbot supports good outcomes under the Consumer Duty by making help easier to reach, not by replacing the people who give it.

No personal recommendations from the bot.

03

Housing associations and property groups

Landlords with homes in several regions handle questions about rent statements, repairs, tenancy changes and anti social behaviour reports. Rules differ between England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, so the chatbot answers by nation and logs repair requests with photos for the right regional team. Emergencies such as gas smells or flooding are never left to the bot; it shows the emergency number at once and alerts staff.

Emergencies always show the phone number first.

04

Private healthcare and multi site clinics

Dental, physiotherapy, optometry and private GP groups get questions about appointments, pricing policy, referrals and preparation for treatment. The chatbot handles logistics and booking links across all your locations. It does not assess symptoms or give clinical guidance, which keeps it clear of medical device rules and matches what CQC registered providers expect from patient communications. Anything clinical is passed to qualified staff straight away.

Logistics only; clinical questions go to clinicians.

Six stages for a chatbot rolled out across the UK.

  1. 01Governance kick offWe agree owners for customer service, compliance and data protection, list the regulators relevant to you, and set the topics the chatbot will never handle alone.
  2. 02National content mapYour policies, product data and help content are mapped by nation and channel. Differences between England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland are marked so the bot can answer each correctly.
  3. 03Risk review and DPIA inputWe document data flows, processors, retention and hosting, test for harmful or misleading answers, and give your teams what they need for a data protection impact assessment.
  4. 04Build and integrateThe chatbot is connected to your website, app, messaging channels, CRM and help desk queues, with routing rules for each team and region.
  5. 05Pilot in one region or channelWe launch with a limited audience, such as one nation, one brand or one channel, and review transcripts with your compliance and service leads before widening access.
  6. 06National rollout and monitoringCoverage expands in planned steps. Monthly reporting tracks accuracy, handovers and complaints, and the answer library is updated as policies change.

Technology

What we build this with.

We are model agnostic and choose providers, hosting regions and integrations with your security and procurement teams. Builds typically combine a hosted language model, retrieval over an indexed answer library, UK or EU hosting where required, and connectors to Salesforce, Microsoft Dynamics 365, ServiceNow or Zendesk.

Questions UK organisations ask about chatbot projects.

Timing depends on governance steps, integrations and how many nations or channels launch first.

The technical build is often not the longest part. Compliance review, data protection assessment, content mapping by nation and integration with several team queues all take time, and each organisation has its own approval process. We agree a pilot scope first, write milestones into it once discovery is complete, and plan the national rollout in stages so each stage starts only after the previous one has been reviewed.
