Smith.ai Chatbot is a fully automated solution for lead capture. LiveSupport is a comprehensive live chat solution that enables users and empowers your agents.

The chatbot is the next big thing in the business world, and it’s time to get on board. With as many as 90 percent of people saying they prefer brands to have online self-service portals, it’s not hard to see the demand. Not only that, but as many as 46% are now preferring live website chat to any other means of communication.

Fortunately, there are a lot of tools out there today to help you create this platform for your visitors. They each have their features and benefits to consider, but you will need to also make sure that you think about what matters most to you.

The Smith.ai Chatbot and LiveSupport both have impressive chat tools that can help you offer more conversation tools for your audience. However, there’s a little more to look at in order to help you choose which chatbot is actually best for you.

Let’s start with LiveSupport, which offers a scalable chat solution that’s more of a service channel, including tech support, integrations, chat transcripts, a knowledge base, and more. You can share files, block visitors, and add Click-to-Call to your chatbot. LiveSupport offers some customization options, translation solutions, and real-time customer monitoring.

With the Smith.ai Chatbot, you’ll find all of these features and so much more. The 100% AI-powered chatbot is fueled by machine learning so it can understand and adapt to the needs of your customers. You’ll be able to customize the chat widget to fit your brand and enjoy unlimited chats 24 hours a day, seven days a week so that your business never sleeps, even when you need to.

That kind of around-the-clock support and the impressive features that you get without spending a dime is what makes the Smith.ai Chatbot the top choice here.

What our customers are saying

“Great customer care and functionality. I love using Smith.ai. They do such a great job in following instructions on how I'd like my cases handled. I especially love the fact that I get email transcripts of all chats. I have never had incorrect information obtained (contact info) from any potential clients by Smith.ai. They are very detail oriented!”
"Smith allows us to converse with website visitors and turn them into potential clients. They've made it easier for us to be there at all times, even when we're not. We've worked with other vendors in the past and have found Smith.ai among the easiest to use. They're very responsive, they communicate well, and serve as our front lines for client communications."
Scott Peterson
“Simple way to start a great client experience. There are a lot of Chat options available, but this was a no brainer for us because of our great experience with Smith.ai as a company. Everything they do is focused on simplicity. Stuff just works. They make everything easy and have focused on hiring great people, which is evident by the way they treat us as a customer and the people that they chat with on our behalf.”
Brian Waller
“Love Smith.ai Chat! There is no way that I could staff a feature like that in house with my small business. Smith.ai makes the chat feature available around the clock. I am a lawyer and this feature is great for clients who are nervous or shy about making that initial phone call, or who are up thinking about the problem that they need help with outside of business hours. The Smith.ai Website Chat also integrates perfectly with my CRM/case management software. It has really been a boost to my business. I have tried other companies. Smith.ai is the best!”
