Assistly
AI chat assistant that answers website visitors and captures leads around the clock
Freemiumassistlychat.comUpdated
About Assistly
Assistly is an AI chat assistant for business websites. The owner enters a website address, and Assistly reads the site's main pages, plus uploaded files such as price lists, menus and FAQs, and uses them to answer visitor questions in the visitor's own language. It targets service businesses, online stores and SaaS teams that want a front-desk style assistant outside office hours.
Best for
- Answering common visitor questions after hours
- Capturing leads from a website
- Adding an AI chat to a WordPress
- Wix
- Squarespace
- Shopify or Webflow site
- After hours lead capture: A roofing or trades business lets the assistant answer storm-damage questions at night and collect a phone number for a callback.
- Website FAQ answering: A shop or clinic answers questions about prices, hours and policies from its own pages and uploaded price lists.
- SaaS product support: A software team adds the chat inside its app and answers product questions for signed in users.
- WhatsApp front desk: A small business answers customer WhatsApp messages with the same knowledge base as its website chat.
Not ideal for
- Large contact centers needing deep helpdesk workflows

Cons
