Live chat was once the best way for websites to communicate with visitors.

However, live chat requires someone to be available to answer messages. When no one responds, visitors often leave.

How Live Chat Works

Live chat connects visitors with human support agents. This works well during business hours but becomes difficult to manage outside those times.

How AI Website Assistants Work

AI assistants are trained using your website content. Instead of waiting for a person to reply, the assistant answers immediately.

  • Available 24 hours a day
  • Handles multiple conversations simultaneously
  • Responds instantly to common questions
  • Reduces support workload

Which Option Is Better?

Many businesses now combine both approaches. An AI assistant answers common questions while human support teams handle complex issues.
