A slick app that was very easily integrated onto our store, but also backed by a great support team and regular check-in communication from a customer success manager.
Great customer service! Works very well.
We chose AnswerAi after comparing competitors, and it’s proven to be the best value for the features offered.

What it can show: AnswerAI Chatbot & Live Chat has 19 published reviews; Gorgias: AI Helpdesk & Chat has 706 published reviews. Compare plan limits and pricing tiers against your own volume.
Migration support varies by app and category. AnswerAI Chatbot & Live Chat and Gorgias: AI Helpdesk & Chat both publish their export options on their marketplace listing pages (or in their support docs); some apps offer one-click import from competitors, others require CSV.

Over time we have worked closely with our account managers Stefan & Alessandro to really tailor it to our business needs and ensure the tone of voice matches our brand. I would highly recommend brands utilise this to
The biggest issues are the mobile app and Voice (Phone) feature. The mobile app can be glitchy, talk-to-text is unreliable, and Voice doesn’t work through the mobile app. Calls have to be forwarded to another number, so you basically need someone at a computer all day to get the full functionality. Our biggest complain
Our small Support Team has started working much closer with our CSM, Emely Tapia, over the last couple of months and we couldn't ask for better guidance! She has been so attentive and helpful with our deep dive into optimization projects, particularly with our AI Agent, as we head into the peak season. Thank you for al
Gorgias has been a great addition to our customer service workflow. The AI agent handles a solid chunk of routine inquiries on its own, which has freed up our team to focus on more complex issues. Really happy with how it's performed so far. :)
