ZipTier is a web-based AI sales assistant for marketing websites. It answers visitor questions using a business’s own content, qualifies leads and supports sales-meeting bookings in chat. A three-step setup wizard helps create a branded assistant without coding, using uploaded files or web pages as knowledge sources. Supported file types include PDF, DOC, DOCX, PPT, PPTX, JPG, PNG and TXT. The assistant detects BANT intent signals, scores prospects and produces chat summaries. Lead details can be sent to HubSpot or exported as CSV, while meeting bookings can use a Calendly or Google Calendar URL. Assistants can appear as a full page, embedded widget, shareable link or QR code, and are described as responsive on desktop, tablet and mobile. Analytics cover engagement, CTA clicks, campaign summaries, charts and transcripts, with data refreshed twice daily. The Free plan allows 20 AI conversations per month; Starter costs $99 a month, billed monthly.
