Migrate from SiteGPT to AskVault
Why teams migrate
Five drivers:
- Cost. SiteGPT Growth $79/mo for 25 MB. AskVault Growth ₹4,999 (~$60) for 40 MB.
- Channels. SiteGPT widget-only. AskVault 13 native channels.
- Source citations. Inconsistent in SiteGPT. Every answer in AskVault.
- Compliance posture. SiteGPT minimal. AskVault SOC 2 Type II infrastructure.
- Integration depth. Limited in SiteGPT. AskVault 12 native integrations.

Migration timeline
About 2 weeks:
- Day 1. Sign up. 14-day Growth trial unlocks all.
- Day 1-3. Re-index content.
- Day 4-7. Configure widget, skills, identity verification.
- Day 8-12. Parallel run on test domain.
- Day 13. Switch production.
- Day 14. Cancel SiteGPT.
Re-index content
SiteGPT doesn't offer one-click export. Options:
- URL crawl. AskVault re-crawls the same URLs.
- PDF upload. Re-upload files.
- Snippets. Manually copy any Q&A pairs.
About 5 to 30 minutes for typical content libraries.
Setup walkthrough
- Sign up at askvault.co.
- Index content via Knowledge Hub.
- Customize widget in Widget Studio (Brand DNA auto-detects).
- Enable skills as needed.
- Test in Chat Playground.
- Deploy widget on test domain first.
Switchover
Single script tag swap:
<!-- Old: SiteGPT --><script src="https://sitegpt.ai/..." async></script>
<!-- New: AskVault --><script src="https://cdn.askvault.co/widget.js" data-workspace="ws_xxxx" async></script>Keep both for 3 to 5 days to validate. Then remove SiteGPT.
Cost calculation example
For 20 MB content, 5,000 queries per month:
SiteGPT Growth. $79/mo plus Zapier for WhatsApp ($20/mo) = $99/mo.
AskVault Growth. ~$60/mo including WhatsApp.
Annual savings: about $470. Plus AskVault's superior feature set.
Common pitfalls
Forgetting to cancel SiteGPT. Calendar reminder for day 14.
Switching widget too fast. Run both for at least 3 days.
Brand DNA mismatch. Verify under Widget Studio before going live.
Identity verification different. SiteGPT and AskVault use different signatures; reconfigure.
