Live Chat That Actually Helps, Not Just Collects Emails

AI web chat that resolves issues instead of creating tickets. Process refunds, track orders, and reset passwords, all from your chat widget.

Live chat should help customers instantly, not create more work

Web chat has become an essential channel for customer support. Customers expect fast responses and immediate help. The challenge is providing that speed while also handling requests that require actual actions, not just information.

Instant

Expected response time in live chat

24/7

When customers want help available

Action

What customers need, not just answers

Most chat solutions only provide information, showing knowledge base articles or collecting details to create a ticket. Hay goes further by actually executing actions like tracking orders, processing refunds, and updating accounts, right in the chat conversation.

Real Scenarios

1

Order Tracking

Customer:

"Where's my order?"

Hay:

Let me check. Could you share your order number or email?

→ Customer provides email → Hay queries e-commerce platform → Returns tracking link

Result: 30-second resolution. Customer satisfied. No agent needed.

2

Refund Request

Customer:

"I want to return my order #12345"

Hay:

I can help with that. Let me check your order... Your order is eligible for return. Should I process your refund now?

→ Verifies order → Checks policy → Processes refund through Stripe → Confirms with customer

Result: Complete refund processed in under 2 minutes via chat.

3

Complex Question

Customer:

"Can I add gift wrapping to my existing order?"

Hay:

That's a great question. Let me connect you with our team who can help with order modifications.

→ Escalates to human agent with full chat history

Result: Human agent picks up with context. Customer doesn't repeat themselves.

"But what if the AI makes a mistake?"

Confidence System

The experience feels like a knowledgeable support agent who happens to be very fast. When Hay needs to escalate, the handoff is seamless with full conversation context.

Confidence thresholds keep it safe:

  • 90%
    High confidence: Responds immediately with instant answers and actions.
  • 70%
    Medium confidence: Enable review before sending. You approve the response.
  • <70%
    Low confidence: Escalates to human immediately with context gathered.

The customer never knows they're talking to AI unless you want them to. Seamless experience from start to finish.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I customize the chat widget to match my brand?

Yes. The widget supports custom colors, logo placement, welcome messages, and positioning. It's designed to blend seamlessly with your website's design rather than looking like an obvious third-party tool.

Does the chat widget slow down my website?

No. The widget loads asynchronously after your page content, so it doesn't block page rendering. It's lightweight and optimized for performance across all devices.

What happens when a human agent isn't available?

Hay handles conversations 24/7 without human agents for routine requests. When escalation is needed and no agent is available, Hay collects details, sets expectations, and creates a ticket for follow-up. The customer isn't left hanging.

Can I see chat transcripts and analytics?

Yes. All conversations are logged with full transcripts, AI actions taken, and outcomes. Analytics show resolution rates, common topics, escalation reasons, and customer satisfaction scores.
