After you sign up for Smith.ai’s live-staffed chat, we’ll work with you to design and install our chat widget.
To provide better answers to customer prompts and questions, Our AI ingests data from the website where the chat resides and can consider that information as part of its responses. That becomes incredibly powerful in providing coherent, accurate, and business- or product-specific responses — and delivered in a natural way.
You determine when and how you’d like our agents to answer your chats, customizing your chat to look and sound exactly as you’d like. Each live-staffed chat plan comes with custom programming hours where we’ll create business-specific playbooks & AI-powered Q&A.
Once you install our chat widget on your website and our systems are connected, our AI & agents will answer your website chats according to your instructions. You can monitor your conversations, adjust your instructions, and view chat transcripts directly from your Smith.ai dashboard.
Live chat is an online tool that allows businesses to communicate with website visitors and potential customers via direct messaging 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Rather than waiting for an email response, customers can open an on-screen live chat window and speak directly with agents in real time. Not only does live chat help customers, but it also benefits the business. With live chat software, businesses can:

Our combination of an AI knowledge base and trained professional receptionists is the best of both worlds.
Our easy-to-use software makes it easy to embed our chat widget on your website, whether built on WordPress, Squarespace, Wix, WebFlow, or another platform.
Even though our live chat widget is mobile-friendly, sometimes potential clients just want to text you instead, or they find you on Google and text before even visiting your site. So, using your live chat account — and drawing from your chat quota and instructions — our agents can answer your SMS messages, too! Just request the service by emailing us at chat@smith.ai. We’ll give you a text-enabled number, and then you can promote it on your site and other marketing materials.
All Smith.ai chat plans are month-to-month with no annual contract required. If you’re leaving, you won’t be charged past the current billing cycle — simple as that. Starting back up again is easy, too. And we never charge setup or cancellation fees for web chat.
Pro tip: While annual contracts aren’t required, we do offer discounts for annual contracts. Email billing@smith.ai for details!
Our agents log all the information gathered from your chats directly on your Smith.ai dashboard. Additionally, we’ll send chat transcripts to your team via email, SMS, Slack, or Teams, so you have all the information you need after every chat. We hold onto your chat data in our system, so our AI can learn more about your business and customer base, and our agents can be best equipped to handle all conversations with your website visitors.
Smith.ai only charges for relevant chats to your business. Relevant chats do not include spam, sales, accidents, tests, random “hellos,” or incomplete conversations. To us, chats are relevant when we collect a name and email address, and determine the intent of the chat. Click here for more information on relevant chats.
Our agents use artificial intelligence combined with in-depth training to know your business on a deeper level to deliver real conversations, not just canned responses. During the initial onboarding period, we work with you to ensure our agents have the right resources and training to answer customer questions about hours, payment methods, services provided, and more.
Smith.ai’s agents can book reservations, consultations, meetings — you name it. Our agents have the ability to make appointments directly on your calendar. Check which scheduling software we integrate with. We can use any scheduling system that has a public scheduling link.
