Frequently asked questions

Everything about pricing, setup, channels, the AI assistant and your data. Can't find your answer? Start free and ask us in the chat.

Getting started

Is it really free?+

Yes. The Free package is free forever for one agent, with every feature, and sign-up never asks for a card. Basic and Premium add more agents when your team grows.

How do I add the chat to my website?+

Create a workspace, copy the one-line snippet from Chat widget → Install, and paste it before </body> on your site. It works on any site that lets you add a script tag, including WordPress, Shopify, Wix and plain HTML.

Will the chat slow down my website?+

No. The chat script loads asynchronously, after the rest of your page, so it doesn't hold up your content.

Is there a WordPress plugin or Shopify app?+

Yes. Install the WordPress plugin and your chat code is filled in for you, with options to hide the chat on chosen pages or for logged-in users. On Shopify, turn on the app embed in the theme editor, or paste the one-line snippet into theme.liquid.

Can I use it on more than one website?+

Yes. Add each website to give it its own design, greeting and chatbot flow. Every chat shows which website it came from, and they all arrive in the same inbox.

Live chat and messaging

What is “sneak peek”?+

While a visitor is typing in the chat, your agents see the message forming before it is sent, so they can start on the answer early. Drafts are only ever shown to your own team.

Can we answer WhatsApp, Instagram and Messenger here?+

Yes. Connect your Meta app under Channels and those messages arrive in the same inbox as your website chats, where any agent or the AI assistant can reply.

Can customers call us from the chat?+

Yes. Your agents and visitors can start a voice or video call, and share their screen, right inside the chat window. Nothing to install on either side.

Can several people answer chats?+

Yes. Add agents and admins, group them into departments, transfer chats between them and let new chats go to whoever is free. How many agents you can add depends on the package.

What happens when nobody is online?+

The widget turns into a short contact form, and every message becomes a ticket you can answer by email. You can also let the AI assistant answer at night, at weekends and whenever no agent is free.

Can the chat open by itself?+

Yes. Proactive invitations can open the chat after a few seconds on a page, when someone scrolls, when they're about to leave, or when they rage-click something that isn't working.

Can customers send photos, files and voice notes?+

Yes, on the website chat and on WhatsApp, Instagram and Messenger. Agents can send files back. With speech-to-text connected, voice notes are written out so agents (and the AI) can read them.

Can we answer chats from our phones?+

Yes. The agent dashboard works in your phone's browser and can send push notifications for new chats. You can also connect Slack and reply to visitors straight from a Slack thread.

Can visitors book a meeting in the chat?+

Yes. Set your available times and visitors can book a slot from the chat or from your booking link. New bookings are emailed to you.

AI assistant

Is there an AI chatbot?+

Yes. The AI assistant answers visitors from your published Help Center articles and hands the chat to your team when it should. Use your own API key from Claude, ChatGPT (OpenAI), Google Gemini, DeepSeek, Grok, Mistral and more.

Do I pay extra for the AI assistant?+

Not to us. You connect your own API key from Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini or another provider (or hundreds of models through OpenRouter) and pay that provider directly for what you use, so you control the cost.

Will the AI make up answers?+

It is told never to invent prices, policies or order details. It answers from your published Help Center articles, links the article it used, and hands the chat to your team when the articles don't cover the question or the visitor asks for a person.

Can the AI answer “where is my order?”+

Yes, once you connect Shopify or WooCommerce. Agents see a customer's latest orders next to the chat, and the AI can share live order status and tracking. It asks for the order number first unless the customer's identity is verified.

Help desk, reports and integrations

Is there a help desk with tickets?+

Yes. Emails, web forms and chats become tickets in one queue, with assignment, priorities, SLAs, triggers, automations and macros. A chat can be turned into a ticket with one click.

Can we have a Help Center for customers?+

Yes. Publish articles in a searchable Help Center, with a customer portal where people submit and track their requests. The AI assistant answers from the same articles.

Does it connect with Slack, Zapier and Google Analytics?+

Yes. Get chat alerts in Slack or reply from it, send events to Zapier, or build your own integration with the REST API and webhooks. Chats started and leads captured can be sent to Google Analytics 4 and the Facebook Pixel.

What reports do we get?+

Response and resolution times, agent performance, SLA results, satisfaction ratings from chats and from the survey sent after a ticket is solved, and the Help Center searches that found nothing.

Heatmaps and data

What do heatmaps record, and can I turn them off?+

The chat script records where visitors click, where they stop scrolling to read, and how far down each page they get. It never records what people type or form contents, it respects the browser’s Do Not Track setting, and an admin can switch recording off at any time. Each visitor's own heatmap can be opened from a chat with them. Data is deleted after 90 days.

Is my data kept separate from other companies?+

Yes. Every workspace has its own agents, customers, chats, tickets and Help Center, and no other company can see them.
