Chatbots & AI customer service

A chatbot that answers your customers' common questions day and night, in English and 中文, and hands the rest to you.

ABOUT

What it is

A chatbot on your website or messaging app that answers common questions using your own menu, services and opening hours. It works day and night, in English and 中文. It says it's an AI, and hands anything tricky straight to you.

Q&A

You might be wondering

Will AI replace my staff?

No. We take over the repetitive typing and chasing so your people have more time for customers. AI drafts; a person decides anything important.

Is my customers' data safe?

The chatbot only uses the information you give it, and tells people they're talking to an AI. We only keep what the job needs, in accounts in your name. See our Privacy page.

Privacy →

I'm not technical. Can we still work together?

Yes. We explain things in plain English (or 中文), do the setup for you and show your team how to use it. You don't need to know what an API is.

Will this be expensive?

Every job starts with a free 30-minute chat and a free quote, so you know the cost before you commit. We usually suggest starting with one small, useful thing and adding more only if it works for you.
