Crisp AI is the AI customer support and chatbot capability within Crisp's all-in-one AI multichannel messaging platform. Crisp positions itself as the "ultimate all-in-one AI-powered multichannel messaging platform," helping businesses instantly connect with customers or prospects waiting for support and drive growth through conversations.
In terms of purpose, Crisp AI is mainly used for customer support automation, and the company says it can automate 50% of inquiries, allowing teams to focus on more important matters. It also serves customer support, marketing, and sales teams: support teams can provide cross-channel customer support; sales teams can automate the sales pipeline through chatbots and AI workflows; marketing teams can send marketing emails and in-app messages for customer retargeting.
Key capabilities include: an AI helpdesk that provides support for teams and customers; a chat widget that supports websites and mobile apps; a shared inbox that centralizes all inbound communications; a knowledge base that makes customers more self-sufficient; CRM support to organize customer data; and analytics support to monitor and track team performance. AI features also include smart replies, automatic summaries, writing tools, and a support copilot trained on business content. The platform also supports creating internal automation workflows to speed up team replies and reduce manual work.
In terms of usage, the company provides four steps to build an AI agent: the first step is to train the AI, using public and private resources to teach Crisp about the product or business; the system automatically browses the website, and PDFs can also be imported and knowledge base articles written; the second step is to create a workflow, using the no-code AI agent builder or template library; the third step is to test and deploy the workflow, choosing the trigger channel, including the website chat widget, WhatsApp, Messenger, Instagram, and even email; the fourth step is to validate and measure, reviewing message exchanges between users and the AI agent, and if the answers are ineffective, optimizing the AI agent and iterating quickly to automate most customer support. In addition, users can add the chat widget to a website or web app in minutes, supporting everything from landing pages to native iOS, Android, or React apps, and chat with visitors in real time. The built-in CRM can sync lead and customer data, access past interaction records, and enable more personalized conversations.
Applicable scenarios include: businesses that need cross-channel customer support; sales teams that want to automate the sales pipeline through chatbots and AI workflows; marketing teams that want to retarget through email and in-app messages; and businesses that want to let customers self-serve answers through a knowledge base. The company says 10,000 companies already use it.
