About

I’m Micha, founder of Nahgenuss, an organic meat platform. After nearly 10 years, I wanted to add an AI chatbot to our site for customer support. But I quickly found most chatbot tools were either too expensive or too complicated—$30–$150/month for small businesses. For a small company, that just didn’t make sense. So I tried building my own, even without coding skills. With AI and no-code tools, I created a chatbot that worked better than expected. That’s when I realized: other small businesses must face the same struggle. Out of this, OwnKeyBot was born—a simple, affordable way for anyone to create their own no-code AI chatbot using their OpenAI key.
