The Product

An AI chat assistant that:

The Sales Pitch

To Agencies:
“Give your clients 24/7 lead capture without building anything. We auto-generate the knowledge base from their website. You configure the lead form and webhook. They get leads delivered to their phone or CRM. You bill monthly and keep the margin.”
To End Businesses (via Agency):
“Never miss a lead again. Our AI answers questions and captures contact info 24/7. You get a text the moment someone’s interested. Call them back, close the deal.”

​
What Businesses Actually Care About

They don’t care about:

  • Webhook payloads
  • Platform features
They care about:
  • “Will I get more leads?”
  • “Will I stop missing calls?”
  • “How much does it cost?”
  • “Is it hard to set up?”
The answer is: Yes, yes, less than one job/patient/client, and no—your agency handles everything.
