Minuteman AI answers the questions your office hears every day: hours, eligibility, how to file — using only your office's own verified content, plus a free bundle of the 35 most commonly asked questions veterans ask in your state. Instantly, day or night. No veteran left on hold.
Typical response time for a veteran asking your chatbot a question — any hour, any day, no hold music.
Ask a real question or click one below. This is a staged example, not a live client site — your actual chatbot only shows your own website content and the free, government-sourced questions you choose to approve.
Live, editable version ships with your subscription. This preview shows the experience, not your office's real answers — live client chatbots are powered by Claude, and this preview is a simplified simulation.
This isn't just a tool for veterans. It's built for offices that get more calls than their staff can keep up with.
Hours, eligibility basics, what to bring. The questions that eat your day get answered automatically, so your time goes to complex casework and community outreach instead of repeating yourself.
The chatbot points veterans toward steps they can start themselves, like requesting a DD-214, instead of every one of those becoming a call or a walk-in that lands on your desk.
Veterans can share the basics in the chat first (name, contact, reason for the visit, never anything sensitive like a Social Security number). Your staff sees it in the conversation, so a walk-in isn't a total blank slate.

Every Minuteman AI chatbot answers from your own office's published content — that's the whole product. At no extra cost, you can also opt in to 35 of the most commonly asked veteran questions, verified against official government sources. Turn off any you don't want. Edit any that need a local touch. You're always in control.
The chatbot answers from your office's own published content first, every time. The 35-question bundle is an optional layer on top — not a replacement for it.
Federal VA basics, plus benefits specific to your own state (property tax exemptions, hunting/fishing licenses, tuition waivers, and more), pre-loaded and verified against official government sources — never guessed, never scraped from a blog.
Opt in or out of the whole bundle, turn off any single answer, or edit one to match your office's own policy. Your changes are clearly marked.
Review every change in a full confirmation screen, then approve before anything goes live. It's the same discipline you'd want from any new hire — just faster.
Every office gets its own secure client login to open Answer Manager and make changes whenever something changes at your office — a new law, new hours, anything. No waiting on us.
Showing 3 of your 35 free questions. Try it — toggle the bundle, uncheck a question, edit an answer, then hit Review & Publish to see the full confirmation screen.

Don't see your state? Click here to request it — takes one email, no form to fill out.
The chatbot and Answer Manager already did the work. This screen only shows the two things actually worth your time: who's still waiting on a callback, and what patterns are worth knowing about. Everything else, it handled without you.
“I've sat across the desk from a VSO officer, and I've watched offices like that get more calls than their staff can keep up with.” This is the other side of that — the screen built so it never happens to yours.
Click around — this preview is real and clickable, not a screenshot. Try the Insights tab, or mark a conversation "Done."
No IT department required. Your existing website content is the chatbot's primary source, plus a free, editable library of 35 government-sourced answers to the questions veterans ask most.
You give us your office's website address. That's the entire onboarding call.
Your published hours, eligibility rules, and forms become the chatbot's core source — plus 35 official, government-sourced answers you can edit or turn off anytime in your Answer Manager.
One line of code puts a branded chat window on your site. It answers instantly, day or night.
Anything beyond routine questions escalates straight to your staff. The bot never rules on a claim.
A lot of small county VSO offices don't have a real website. Search their office and Google shows a name, an address, a phone number. Nothing else. That leaves a veteran with two options: call during business hours, or drive in without knowing what to expect.
Three clean, simple layouts to choose from — not a custom design project. Each covers exactly what a veteran actually needs: your hours, how to reach you, eligibility basics, and how to file. You send us your info on a short form; we handle the rest.
Your chatbot is embedded from day one, so the page isn't just a static listing. Veterans get answers immediately instead of a phone number to try during business hours.
A single $99 setup fee, not a recurring charge. The value is the chatbot living on it, answering veterans day and night.
Already have a page on your county's site? We can often embed the chatbot directly on your existing page instead, no new site needed. Ask us what fits your situation.
Every answer is grounded in your office's own published material. No guessing, no invented benefit rulings, always a hand-off to your staff or the VA for anything consequential.
Founded by a 100% disabled veteran who has sat on both sides of a VSO desk. This isn't a repurposed municipal chatbot. It was built for this exact conversation.
One line of embed code. No procurement cycle, no server to maintain, no dashboard to learn beyond what you already need.
The chatbot never asks for or stores Social Security numbers, VA file numbers, or other sensitive identifiers. Visitors are never prompted for anything beyond a general question.
All traffic runs over HTTPS. Each office's indexed content and conversation history is kept in a separate, isolated record. One office can never see or retrieve another's data.
Conversation data is never sold to third parties and never used for advertising. It's used only to answer questions and give your office usage reporting.
| Package | Monthly | Conversations | Best For |

All plans include your full site indexed, the embed widget, the free 35-question Answer Manager bundle, and a usage dashboard. Nothing is billed until your chatbot is live. No website yet? We'll build you a simple one for a one-time $99 fee — see options.
Minuteman AI provides general information based on your office's published content. It is not a substitute for professional benefits counseling. All benefit determinations are made solely by the VA and authorized VSOs.
"I've sat across the desk from a VSO officer, and I've watched offices like that get more calls than their staff can keep up with. This company exists because that gap is real, and it's solvable."
Jon and Chris served in the same squad in 1st Cavalry Division, training together before deploying to the Iran-Iraq border, running missions to halt the flow of EFPs and foreign militants smuggling through the southern marshland.
Years later, Chris left a software engineering career at Amazon to hike the Appalachian Trail — a reset that brought him back to serving veterans, this time from behind the keyboard instead of a rifle. He leads Minuteman AI's engineering.
Conversation data and your indexed content are stored securely and are never sold to third parties. Only your office's designated staff can view your dashboard and conversation logs, not other clients, not the public.
Minuteman AI is billed monthly like any SaaS subscription, typically fitting under a general operating or admin budget line rather than a capital IT expense. No setup fee, no multi-year contract required.
You give us your website address. That's the entire onboarding call. We index your site, and your chatbot is typically ready to embed within a few business days.
It says so, and escalates to your staff rather than guessing. The chatbot only answers from your office's own published content and never invents a benefit ruling or eligibility answer.
Yes, any time. No cancellation fee, no long-term lock-in — it's month-to-month.
No. One line of embed code, no server to maintain, no procurement cycle beyond a standard subscription purchase.
Yes. We build a simple page from one of three templates — just your hours, contact info, and the questions you get most — with the chatbot embedded from the start, for a one-time $99 fee. If you already have a basic page on your county's site, we can often embed the chatbot directly there instead.
Yes, if you want it to. Every chatbot includes a free, optional Answer Manager bundle: 35 of the most commonly asked veteran questions, covering federal VA basics and your own state's benefits, verified against official government sources. You choose which ones to include, edit any to match your office's policy, and it costs nothing extra. Your own website content always comes first either way.
Read the one-pager, try the demo, or just email — whatever's easiest. No pressure, no scripts.
