DIY, DWY, or DFY? How to Choose the Right AI Agent Approach for Your Website & Socials

DIY, DWY, or DFY? How to Choose the Right AI Agent Approach for Your Website & Socials

In the age of AI, it’s not if your business should adopt intelligent automation—it’s how. The challenge? Every business has different needs, technical skillsets, and bandwidth. That’s why at Chatica, we offer three flexible paths to getting your AI Agent up and running: DIY, DWY, and DFY.

Whether you want full control, collaborative support, or a completely done-for-you experience, we meet you where you are—and help you grow from there.

Let’s break down what each path looks like, and how to know which one’s right for your business.

🚀 DIY (Do It Yourself) – For the Builders

You want to roll up your sleeves and get hands-on. Maybe you’ve got a technical team or a strong internal process, and you just need the tools and training to take control.

With Chatica’s DIY plan:

  • You get access to our platform and powerful configuration tools
  • You stay in charge of setup, training, and deployment
  • We provide clear documentation and optional support as needed

Best for: teams who love experimenting and want to fully own their AI experience.

🤝 DWY (Done With You) – For the Collaborators

You want a smart partner who can walk alongside you—someone who can guide, strategize, and help bring your vision to life without taking over.

With Chatica’s DWY approach:

  • We co-create your AI Agent with you
  • You bring the brand voice, we bring the expertise
  • Together, we iterate until it’s working beautifully

Best for: growing teams who want expert support without giving up creative control.

🎯 DFY (Done For You) – For the “Let’s Just Get This Done” Crowd

You’re busy. You know AI can make a big impact, but you don’t have the time or desire to build it yourself. You want results—without the learning curve.

With Chatica’s DFY service:

  • We handle everything: strategy, design, training, and optimization
  • Your AI Agent is tailored to your voice, goals, and workflows
  • You get a powerful, ready-to-run solution—no heavy lifting required

Best for: high-growth businesses that want high-quality automation, fast.

So… Which One’s Right for You?

Here’s a quick way to decide which path fits your business best:

👉 Go DIY if you want full control and a hands-on experience. You enjoy building things yourself and have the team to support it.

👉 Choose DWY if you’re looking for a collaborative partner. You want guidance and strategic support, but still want to be involved in the process.

👉 Opt for DFY if you’d rather skip the setup and get straight to results. You want a fully tailored AI Agent delivered without the technical lift.

And here’s the best part: you’re not locked in. As your business evolves, you can shift between models. Start DIY and scale into DWY. Launch with DFY and take the reins later. With Chatica, your AI journey adapts with you—not the other way around.
