AI first. You when it matters. One inbox.

  • One shared inbox per site
  • Full history before you reply
  • Works on mobile
  • No extra tools to wire together

Team inbox

One thread, not two tools

Shared inbox

The whole team sees the same thread. No forwarding screenshots.

Context before you reply

The visitor's questions, the AI's answers and the sources are all visible.

Reply from anywhere

The console works on a phone, so a handoff does not wait for a desk.

The problem

Where it hurts today

Two tools, two histories

An AI bot in one tab and a chat tool in another means the agent starts from zero.

Slow first reply

Visitors leave before a person is free to answer.

Handoffs lose context

Screenshots and copy-paste replace the actual conversation.

After-hours silence

Most questions arrive when nobody is at the desk.

Capabilities

What it does, in detail

AI answers first

The assistant replies immediately from your content, with the source attached.

Human takeover

A visitor can ask for a person at any time; the agent sees the whole thread.

Shared inbox

Every member of the site's workspace sees the same conversation and who replied.

Contact capture before handoff

Handoff asks for an email, phone or WhatsApp number so the conversation can continue.

Mobile replies

The console works on a phone, so a handoff does not wait for a desk.

Conversation history

Search past threads by visitor, topic or date, and export when needed.

Fit

Who it is for

Small support teams

One person can cover the queue because the AI handles the repeat questions.

Sales teams

Qualified conversations arrive with the details already collected.

Agencies

Run a shared inbox per client site without adding seats.

Global stores

Visitors get an answer in their language before an agent wakes up.

Live Chat is not a demo screen — it runs on the site you already have.

In practice

What it looks like on a normal Tuesday

A visitor asks the question you have answered a hundred times. The assistant replies from your content, shows the source, and captures the details when it matters.

  • AI answers instantly; you jump in when it matters
  • Shared inbox for your whole team
  • See full history before you reply
  • AI summarizes the conversation for instant context
