About LiveChat

LiveChat offers a comprehensive customer communication platform that helps businesses enhance their online support and sales efforts. The core product is a live chat application that enables agents to interact with website visitors in real time, answering questions and providing assistance. This is complemented by ChatBot, which automates conversations to handle common inquiries, qualify leads, and route complex issues to human agents. For issues requiring follow-up, the integrated HelpDesk functions as a ticketing system, ensuring no customer request is lost. The platform also includes KnowledgeBase, allowing businesses to create self-service help centers to deflect common questions. Together, these tools provide a unified workspace for managing all customer interactions, from initial contact to resolution. Businesses can use the platform's detailed analytics to monitor agent performance, track customer satisfaction, and identify areas for improvement, ultimately leading to stronger customer relationships and increased conversions.
