In their own words
Tars
Tars provides AI agents for customer support and customer acquisition, with a no-code builder for creating agents without writing code. Agents can retrieve answers from Knowledge Bases trained on sources such as websites and PDFs, use tools, branch according to user intent, and combine retrieval with multi-step workflows. Tars describes deployment across web, WhatsApp and email, with conversations carried across channels. Built-in integrations connect agents to customer experience technology stacks, and an API Integration component can fetch or submit data in real time. Tars states compliance with GDPR, ISO, SOC 2 and HIPAA. The Freemium plan includes 50 conversations per month, five Knowledge Bases, basic LLM models, community support and one month of data retention. When the monthly conversation allowance is used, the agent stops until the customer upgrades. A conversation counts all messages between an agent and user within 24 hours. Premium costs $499 a month and includes advanced LLM models, 20 Knowledge Bases and 12 months of data retention. Premium offers live chat support; Enterprise includes a dedicated account manager.
