The support agent draws on that knowledge base to answer product and pricing questions during qualification. Live chat apps are listed for web, Windows, iOS, and Android. The pricing note lists plans from $39/mo and a 7-day trial; the custom AI agents subscription is typically $2,500/mo for mid-market teams.
