AI customer service agents that learn your data and take real actions
Crawl your website, upload documents and connect knowledge bases, then set brand voice and guardrail policies so answers stay on-brand and compliant.
Run custom API calls and native integrations to book meetings, check Stripe billing, update CRM records and capture leads — not just answer questions.
Embed on your website and connect Slack, Notion, Zendesk, WordPress, OneDrive, Dropbox, Google Drive, Zapier and Make, or reach it via API.
Schedule automatic re-crawls so the agent keeps up with changing FAQs, pricing and product documentation without manual reindexing.

AI-powered customer conversation platform for B2C messaging at scale
Bring WhatsApp, TikTok, Instagram, Facebook, Telegram, email and web chat into one shared inbox so no customer thread gets lost between apps.
AI agents qualify leads, answer routine questions, route to the right teammate and follow up automatically when conversations go quiet.
Track tags, custom fields, lead status and lifecycle stage per contact, and move deals through a pipeline without a separate CRM.
Reach thousands of customers with one message, and capture new leads directly from social ads and website links.
