AI Agent for Freshchat

The Customer Support Challenge

When you run a business, customers have questions. They want to know about your products, shipping policies, pricing, and how to solve problems. These questions are normal and expected, but answering them takes time away from growing your business.

Support teams face a particular challenge here. You're already managing multiple conversations, handling escalations, and trying to reduce response times. Adding more customers on top of everything else stretches your team thin. Agents might handle chats during business hours, but what happens when customers reach out at night or on weekends?

Why Instant Response Matters

People expect fast answers online. When someone reaches out via chat and has a question about your product, being able to respond immediately can make the difference between making a sale and losing a customer. Studies show that customers are much more likely to buy when they can get quick answers to their questions.

This expectation creates a challenge for businesses. You can't have agents available 24/7 without significant costs. You have products to develop, marketing to run, and other priorities. The solution is AI automation that can handle common questions while your team focuses on complex issues.

How AI Automation Works with Freshchat

Our AI integrates with Freshchat via webhooks, receiving messages and responding automatically. When a customer asks about your products, the AI provides accurate information. When they ask about policies, it guides them to the right answer. For common questions, it provides instant responses based on your business knowledge.

The technology works by understanding what customers are asking and matching their questions to information you've provided. You teach the AI about your business by giving it your website URL (we'll crawl it automatically), uploading documents with product information, and writing instructions about how to respond to different situations.

Benefits for Freshchat Users

Adding AI automation to your Freshchat account brings several practical advantages. First, you're available all the time. Someone reaching out at midnight can get instant help, even when your team is offline. International customers in different time zones don't have to wait for responses.

Second, you save money. Instead of hiring more agents to handle increasing volume, you set up the AI once and it handles routine questions automatically. That cost savings adds up quickly, letting you invest in other areas of your business.

Third, customer satisfaction improves. Customers who get instant answers are more likely to complete purchases, return for future orders, and recommend your business. The AI acts as a knowledgeable support agent that never sleeps.
