1New Features

Knowledge Base & Training Sources

Empower your AI assistants with deep, domain-specific context through automated ingestion and fine-grained knowledge controls:

Intelligent Website Web Crawler: Automated recursive discovery and content extraction to train AI on product catalogs, company policies, and FAQs directly from website URLs.
XML Sitemap Importer: Bulk ingestion via XML sitemaps with granular inspection, page selection, and batch training workflows.
Multi-Format Document Ingestion: Native upload and processing of PDF, CSV (tabular datasets and spreadsheets), and plain text (TXT) files, featuring automated semantic text chunking and vector database indexing.
Q&A Knowledge Manager: Dedicated management console to define, curate, and fine-tune exact question-and-answer pairs for deterministic and highly accurate responses.
Custom Raw Text Snippets: Direct-entry interface for custom instructions, unindexed notes, internal guidelines, and immediate prompt overrides.

Live Integrations & Workflow Actions

Bridge automated conversational AI with human support workflows and third-party productivity tools:

Slack Live Agent Handoff (Human-in-the-Loop): Real-time synchronization between website visitor chats and designated Slack channels. Support representatives can monitor live chats, take over conversations with a single click directly from Slack, and trigger automated greeting messages to inform visitors when an agent has joined.
In-Chat Calendly Meeting Scheduling: Embedded scheduling interface enabling visitors to view real-time availability and book appointments directly inside the chat conversation without external redirects.

Lead Generation & Conversion Engine

Convert casual visitors into qualified sales opportunities with proactive, customizable capture workflows:

Interactive Lead Capture Form: Captures prospect details (Full Name, Work Email, Phone Number, and Custom Project Notes) naturally within the conversation flow.
Real-Time Email Verification: Built-in syntax and domain validation to filter out typos, disposable addresses, and invalid emails at entry.
Flexible Lead Trigger Rules: Granular configuration to control when the lead form appears: immediately at chat initiation, after a defined message threshold, or upon visitor request.
Multi-Recipient Instant Notifications: Automated email alerts routed to up to 5 designated team members whenever a new lead is captured.
Exportable Lead Datasets: Direct export of collected lead records in standard spreadsheet formats (CSV/Excel) from the dashboard.

Deliver a bespoke, accessible, and frictionless front-end experience across digital touchpoints:

Automated Brand & Icon Detection: Automatically fetches website logos and favicons upon domain entry to instantly style and brand the widget.
Adaptive Dark & Light Themes: Contrast-aware dark and light themes engineered to respect user system preferences and accessibility standards.
Multilingual Auto-Detection & Translation: Dynamic language detection supporting global languages (including English, Spanish, Arabic, Urdu, French, and more) to deliver fluent, contextually accurate responses.
Voice-to-Text Input (Speech-to-Text): Integrated browser audio recording and transcription, enabling visitors to speak queries hands-free.
Proactive Toast Notification Bubbles: URL-targeted greeting prompts and contextual engagement banners designed to capture visitor attention on high-value pages.
Visitor Interactive Controls: Features one-click message copying, thumbs up/down response rating, integrated emoji picker, suggested prompt chips, and instant response regeneration.
Flexible Embeddable Snippets & Iframes: Lightweight, asynchronous script tags and configurable iframe embed codes supporting public or restricted-domain access controls.

AI Configuration & Custom Personas

Tailor your AI agent’s voice, expertise, and operational boundaries:

Pre-Configured Agent Personas: Ready-to-deploy specialized roles (Customer Support Specialist, High-Conversion Sales Agent, Coding Expert, Language Tutor, Life Coach, Fashion Stylist) along with bespoke prompt template authoring.
Precision Behavioral Tuning: Interactive temperature control to calibrate creative vs. deterministic response styles, accompanied by an adjustable human handoff sensitivity threshold.
Tier-Based Model Routing: Dynamic LLM model assignment and quota management optimized by account subscription plan.

Live Operations, Analytics & Administration

Enterprise-grade operational visibility and workspace administration:

Live Monitoring & Agent Console: Real-time dashboard view providing comprehensive visibility into active visitor sessions with instant manual intervention tools.
Audit Trails & Conversation History: Searchable interaction logs with date-range filtering, message-level metadata inspection, and complete transcript downloads.
Automated Content Gap Analysis: Intelligent clustering of unanswered or ambiguous visitor queries to pinpoint missing documentation and training opportunities.
Granular Workspace Roles & Permissions: Multi-user workspace management with email invitations and role-based access control (RBAC) across Admin, Manager, and Support Agent levels.
Self-Service Account & Profile Settings: Dedicated user management portal for profile details, credentials, security settings, and notification preferences.
Subscription Billing & Stripe Portal: Self-service tier management (Starter, Hiker, Climber, Enterprise) powered by Stripe checkout, automated invoice generation, and live credit consumption tracking.
Enterprise Reporting & Platform APIs: Telemetry system aggregating tenant usage metrics, active conversation throughput, customer retention, and revenue attribution.
Streamlined 4-Step Onboarding: Guided setup wizard for first-time accounts, with intelligent routing directing returning users straight to their active workspace.

2System Improvements

Reliability, grounding, and security

Strict AI Grounding & Anti-Hallucination Guardrails: Refined system prompts and retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) pipelines to eliminate hallucinations, ensuring responses strictly reflect verified knowledge sources. Polished fallback logic to decline out-of-scope inquiries politely and constructively.
Live Internet Browsing Integration: Integrated real-time web retrieval tools enabling the agent to search and fetch current, verified web data when queries require live external facts.
High-Throughput Ingestion & Vector Lifecycle Management: Redesigned background worker queues to accelerate crawling and document embedding. Resolved vector database lifecycle issues so deleting or updating a source cleanly purges and refreshes associated embeddings without residual vector fragmentation or data corruption.
Widget Performance & Micro-Interactions: Re-architected widget headers, responsive containers, and mobile drawer layouts for zero-layout-shift responsiveness across mobile, tablet, and desktop viewports. Implemented fluid message streaming with natural typing indicators for a seamless conversational feel.
Security & Authentication Optimization: Streamlined authentication workflows by eliminating redundant database queries during sign-in, significantly accelerating login speeds. Enforced strict protections against user enumeration and safeguarded private application routes from search engine indexing.
