No static forms needed—just natural conversation that gets things done.

Live Agent Handoff via Slack
Seamless AI-to-human transition when needed. When your AI can’t help, conversations transfer directly to your team via Slack channel with full context. Human agents see entire chat history and can respond in real-time. WhatsApp and Telegram support coming soon.

Excellent and Competitive AI Chatbot Plugin

This plugin is a simple yet effective approach to creating an AI chatbot on your website. Utilizing the various AI API's is an excellent and low cost method to achieving a simple chatbot experience. When the AI doesn't have enough context to answer the questions, site visitors can generate an email through the Actions available in the plugin settings. Perfect for agencies that would like to implement a lightweight solution for their clients - which is exactly what I'm planning to do on as many client sites as possible. The developers behind the plugin are extremely professional and provide excellent support as well.
