Building an intent-based AI nudge system for websites. Worth it or pointless?

I’m building an intent-based AI nudge system for websites and wanted to sanity check the idea.

It watches real behaviour like pauses, scroll-backs, return visits, pricing views and exit intent, then steps in only when someone looks high-intent but unsure. The nudges are short and informational, not salesy. Things like clarifying shipping or pricing, showing what people usually compare, or helping a returning visitor continue where they left off.

There’s no dashboard or ongoing setup. You install it once and it runs quietly in the background, improving timing rather than adding noise.

Not selling anything here, just looking for honest feedback would you install something like this? What would make it a no brainer and what would make you avoid it?
