ChatBot

What ChatBot does

ChatBot, operated by Text, Inc., is a no-code AI chatbot platform that enables businesses to deploy generative-AI-powered customer service and sales automation across websites, Facebook Messenger, Slack, SMS, and other messaging channels without developer resources. The product is anchored by a drag-and-drop Visual Builder, an AI Agent that learns from a customer's website, help center, and product documentation, and a library of ready-to-use templates covering ecommerce, sales, customer support, scheduling, and industry-specific workflows (restaurant, healthcare, refugee support). Technically, the platform combines large-language-model-driven generative responses, knowledge retrieval from selected web pages, NLP-based intent understanding, recommendation and buying-signal detection, and autonomous agent behavior for tasks such as cart recovery and discount offer timing, with a unified inbox for human-agent handoff via LiveChat and ticketing via HelpDesk.

ChatBot monetizes as a per-seat SaaS subscription starting at $19 per user per month, with a 14-day free trial that requires no credit card, supported by a product-led growth motion and a self-serve onboarding flow that trains the bot directly from a website URL. Enterprise and mid-market deals are layered on top via field sales and a Partner Program that enables agencies and resellers to distribute the product. The platform reaches 35,000+ brands within the Text ecosystem and has logged named enterprise references including Unilever, UEFA, BASF, Danone, Wembley Stadium, and Hairlust, with cited customer outcomes such as $1.5M in revenue earned by Wembley Stadium over eight months, an average order value of $430 through the AI Agent, and 20% communication-time savings for Hairlust.

Operationally, ChatBot is a privately held brand of Text, Inc., headquartered in Boston (101 Arch Street, 8th Floor), with 51–100 employees and no disclosed external funding or parent company.
