Frequently asked questions
Can an AI chatbot handle all my customer support?
AI can answer many repeat questions and routine requests, but complex, sensitive or angry cases usually need a person. Set up a clear handover to human agents and regularly review conversations to fix wrong or unclear answers.
Are there free AI customer support tools?
Yes. Tidio Copilot is listed as free, and Chatbase, Crisp, Hiver, BotPenguin and Chat Data are freemium. Free plans usually cap conversations or features, which suits small businesses testing the idea.
Can these tools work on WhatsApp?
Some tools on this list, such as Hiver, mention WhatsApp support in their descriptions. Check each tool's current integrations and WhatsApp Business requirements before choosing.
How do I train an AI support bot on my business?
Most tools learn from your website, help articles, FAQs or past tickets. Keep that content accurate and up to date, test common questions yourself, and correct answers before switching the bot on for customers.
