How it works

How a switch works

1

Export what you have

Collect the questions and answers from your current tool.

2

Add the content here

Upload the documents or paste the pages that hold the answers.

3

Embed and compare

Run both assistants for a week, then remove the old widget.

BEFORE YOU SWITCH

Four things to check

Channels you actually use

List the channels your team relies on, then confirm both products cover them.

Your content quality

An assistant is only as good as the pages and files you give it.

Handoff process

Decide who receives a handoff and within what hours.

Contract terms

Check notice periods and data export before cancelling anything.

A modern workspace

Both products can answer. The difference is where the answer comes from.

The core difference

Sources, not guesses

DeskClerk AI answers from the content you add, shows the source and records the questions it cannot answer. That is the part most comparisons skip.

  • Source under every answer
  • Gaps recorded
  • Per-site knowledge
  • Handoff with contact details

Migration

A switch is content, not code

There is no automated migration from Tidio. You add your content, review a few answers and embed one script tag; both tools can run side by side for a week.

  • Add the content here
  • Run both for a week
  • Remove the old widget
