Chatbots for your contact center
Routine questions stop eating up your agents' shifts: the bot handles business hours, locations, order status, and appointment booking automatically, around the clock. When a question gets harder or someone wants a human, a live agent picks up the full thread, and nobody has to explain things twice. The bot guides customers on WhatsApp, Facebook Messenger, Instagram, Telegram, and your website's web chat, following a flow we build around your business. If another vendor already built your bot, we hook it up via the API – no need to rebuild it.

What you get with Chatbots
Examples
What the bot takes off your plate
Three situations where the bot lightens the load on agents.
The bot answers what people ask every day
Most messages are about business hours, locations, and order status. The bot answers with buttons and short replies and pulls order status from your company's system. Anything out of the ordinary is routed to an agent.
- Business hours and locations
- Order status from your system
- Unusual questions go to an agent

A salon client messages on WhatsApp to book a haircut. The bot offers services, stylists, and open time slots, books the appointment, and texts a reminder 24 hours ahead. The front desk handles only rescheduling and special requests.
- Pick a service and stylist
- Open slots from the schedule
- Reminder the day before

A company's Facebook Messenger bot was built a while ago by another vendor. It's linked to the platform via the API: when the bot gets stuck, the conversation goes to support. The agent replies from their own window, the customer gets the answer in the same chat where they messaged the bot, and the history is saved in the customer record.
- The bot works as before
- Handoff to the queue via API
- Reply where the customer wrote

How it works
Flows, connection, and reports
Our bot
A flow built from blocks
The flow is made of blocks: buttons, a question to the customer with answer validation, a data lookup in an external system, and handoff to an agent. We tailor it to the topics of your inquiries, and when topics change, we edit individual blocks without touching the rest.
- Buttons and customer questions
- Lookups in your systems
- Handoff to an agent

Connection via API
The external bot hands the conversation to the platform with an API call, receives agent messages by webhook, and forwards them to the customer in their messaging app. Once the conversation is closed, it can go back to the bot. The full conversation stays in the contact's customer record.
- Handoff with an API call
- Agent replies via webhook
- History in the customer record

What the bot resolves without an agent
The report shows what share of conversations the bot resolved without an agent and the most common reasons customers ask for a person. That tells you which part of the flow to expand so agents get fewer routine questions.

Q&A
Frequently asked questions
How is a flow-based bot different from an AI consultant?
A flow-based bot guides the customer with buttons and set answers. The AI consultant understands free-form questions and answers from your company's materials. You can use both together.
Where will the bot work?
On WhatsApp, Facebook Messenger, Instagram, Telegram, and your website's web chat, all on one flow. Agents see every conversation in a single window.
What does the bot do if it doesn't understand a question?
A live agent takes over with the complete chat history – when the customer taps "Agent" or the topic falls outside the flow.
Another vendor built our bot. Do we have to rebuild it?
Not if it can work with an API: the bot keeps answering customers and brings in a person when needed.
Can the bot give order status or book appointments?
It can. It pulls the data it needs from your CRM or order system.
Who builds the bot flow?
We do: we review your customers' questions, build the flow, and refine it under your support plan.
Are bot conversations saved?
They are. The conversation stays with the contact, alongside calls.
How do we measure the bot's performance?
By the share of conversations the bot resolves, the number of handoffs to agents, and their topics. The topics show what to add to the flow.
Does the bot answer at night?
It answers around the clock. Inquiries that need a person wait for the next shift or go to the callback list.
How much does a chatbot cost?
No license fees – flow and channel setup are covered by your support plan.
