It's about matching how people naturally communicate on each channel. Your AI employees understand the difference.

How businesses use Channels

Real scenarios. Real results. See how different industries deploy AI employees across their channels.

E-Commerce Support

The challenge

Customers ask questions at 11 PM, abandon carts when they don’t get answers, then shop with competitors who respond faster.

How Channels helps

Deploy your Support Specialist on web chat and email. Customer asks about sizing at midnight? Instant answer. Needs help with a return on Sunday morning? Email response in 30 seconds.

Web Chat
Email

35% fewer abandoned carts. Zero missed overnight inquiries.

E-commerce solutions

Professional Services Lead Capture

The challenge

Website visitors leave before scheduling calls because your sales team only works business hours. By morning, they’ve booked consultations with competitors.

How Channels helps

Deploy your Sales Rep on web chat to qualify visitors in real time. Your AI employee captures contact info, understands their needs, sends a follow-up email with your calendar link, and notifies your team about hot leads.

Web Chat
Email

3x more qualified leads. Your team focuses on closing, not chasing.

Healthcare Appointment Management

The challenge

Patients call to book appointments, get voicemail, and never call back. Front desk staff drowns in phone volume during peak hours.

How Channels helps

Deploy your Scheduling Assistant on voice for phone calls, SMS for confirmations, and email for detailed appointment information. Patients book instantly. Reminders go out automatically.

Voice
SMS
Email

90% of appointments booked without human involvement. Front desk focuses on in-person patient care.

Common questions about Channels

Yes. Your AI employee remembers the entire conversation history. A customer can start on web chat, follow up via email, and ask a question on WhatsApp a week later—your AI employee picks up right where they left off. No repetition, no lost context.

No. One AI employee works across every channel simultaneously. Same knowledge, same capabilities, same personality—just adapted to each channel’s communication style.

Most channels go live in 5–10 minutes. Web chat requires copying one line of code. Email needs your inbox connection. Voice needs your phone number. That’s it.

Yes. You might want web chat to be more proactive, email to be more detailed, and voice to be more concise. Each channel has specific settings you control.

Your AI employee automatically routes conversations to available channels. If web chat has issues, customers can still reach you via email or phone. No single point of failure.

Absolutely. Most businesses start with 1–2 channels and expand as they see results. Your AI employee’s knowledge and capabilities transfer instantly to new channels—no reconfiguration needed.

By default, yes. But you can set custom availability hours per channel. Web chat might be 24/7 while voice is business hours only. You decide.
