Community Service Summary

We provide free computer resources to host your pandorabots at Pandorabots. You share these resources with the public. This service is free and we are unable to offer any warranty or guarantees for this service. Currently this service is available worldwide.

Within the Community Service environment you are limited to available resources at hand, and these may vary widely depending on the number of people using the services. We are unable to offer performance guarantees or any other kind of warranty for this service.

Shared Service Summary

We provide shared computer resources to host your pandorabots. You share these resources with others, and we allocate resources to optimize performance while minimizing costs. Currently this service is available only in selected countries. You pay $75 per month for each pandorabot you create with this service.

Within the Shared Service environment you are limited to 100,000 interactions per day per pandorabot. Interactions exceeding 100,000 interactions in any one day shall be charged at a rate of $.001 per interaction. The Dedicated Service plan lifts these limitations. Conversations logs shall be maintained for up to one month. You may download conversation logs at any time.

Dedicated Service Summary

Under our Dedicated Service plan, you receive exclusive access to computing resources to host your pandorabots. Currently available only in selected parts of the world. Depending on your requirements, Pandorabots will configure its web services in the cloud, so that it is dedicated to your application.

We establish an account at a cloud hosting facility (usually Amazon Web Services Elastic Compute Cloud) and install our software on the cloud servers. We invoice you monthly for these cloud services. These costs depend on your requirements, and typically run about $150 per month.

In addition to the cloud services fees described above, you will be charged $1500 per month (or any fraction of a month), and you may use up to 25 bots per month for this service. Additional bots shall be charged at $75 per month (or any fraction of a month).

Typically most pandorabot deployments encounter no limits on the number of interactions (conversations) your pandorabot(s) may have. However, for the few cases in which really huge numbers of simultaneous conversations occur (and we have yet to encounter one of these cases), hardware limitations may impose an upper limit on the number of simultaneous conversations. Pandorabots offers consulting services to provide cost-effective strategies for these cases.

Conversation logs shall be retained for 1 month, and you may download the logs for archiving at any time.
