What does an AI sales agent actually do on its own?
On the channels you switch it on for, it answers genuine incoming messages from that agent's knowledge base, answers objections with the Q&A pairs you wrote, makes the offer your instructions allow, offers real calendar slots and books the one the lead picks, and sends follow-ups when a trigger fires. It replies once per thread, respects a daily cap per sender and hourly caps per channel, and ignores bounces, out-of-office replies and no-reply addresses. It only says what you told it to say: every reply is generated from your material and stored alongside the content it came from, so you can read back exactly what a lead was told and why.
How fast does an AI sales agent respond to a new lead?
In seconds, at any hour, on the channel the lead used. A web chat is answered while the visitor is still on the page. A DM is answered inside the platform's reply window. A call on your Twilio number is picked up and spoken to in real time, using your provider's fastest model so there are no silences. An email to sales@ is read over IMAP and answered from the same address. There is no queue and no working hours, because the agent is not waiting for a person to be free. That is the whole point of speed to lead: the enquiry at 9pm gets its answer at 9pm, before the person has messaged anyone else.
Can it book appointments, or does it just send my booking link?
It books. Connect one of eight calendars, including Google Calendar, Microsoft 365, Calendly, Cal.com, Acuity, Zoho Bookings, Square and HubSpot Meetings, and the agent is given your real open slots for the week ahead. It offers a few of them in the conversation, and when the lead picks one, that choice is checked against the slots that were offered, written to your calendar and confirmed in the reply. It cannot book a time that was not free, it cannot invent a time, and it cannot cancel an appointment it was not shown. The booking, and any notes, are recorded against that contact and written back to a connected CRM.
How does it handle objections like "how much is it?" or "we already use someone"?
From the answers you wrote. The knowledge base takes Q&A pairs, which are your own replies to the questions and objections you actually hear, and data points for prices, hours and lead times. When a lead raises the objection, the agent answers with your material, in your tone, and then does what your instructions say next: makes the offer you allowed, or asks for the booking. It does not improvise a discount or promise a turnaround you did not give it. If a lead asks something the material does not cover, or asks for something your instructions reserve for a person, such as a custom quote, the thread comes to your inbox with the agent standing down.
Which channels can the AI sales agent answer on?
Fifteen. Email, from as many mailboxes as you connect. Text messages on your own number through Twilio, Telnyx, SimpleTexting, Plivo, Vonage, Sinch, Bandwidth, MessageBird or ClickSend. Phone calls on Twilio, with separate switches for answering and dialling. Website chat from a one-line widget in your colour. And eleven DM platforms: Messenger, Instagram, WhatsApp, Telegram, LINE, Viber, Slack, Discord, Bluesky, Reddit and X, each connected with your own app credentials. It is the same agent on all of them, with the same knowledge base and the same instructions, and every conversation lands in the same inbox. You can start with one channel and add the others later.
How does it know the web chat and the phone call are the same person?
Every handle seen for a contact is attached to one record: the browser cookie from the chat widget, the email address it asked for, the phone number that called, the social account id that sent the DM. When a new handle turns out to belong to an existing contact, the two records are merged and the history moves across. That record is what the agent reads before it replies, so the lead who chatted on Tuesday and phoned on Thursday is not asked to explain themselves again and is not pitched twice. It is also what the journey view shows: every message, visit, call and booking for that person, in order.
Can I take over a conversation myself?
Yes, at any point. Every conversation the agent is having arrives in one inbox, newest first, tagged with the channel it came in on. Reply in any thread yourself and the agent stands down on that conversation, so it never talks over you. Hand the thread back when you are done and it picks up where you left it. Your instructions can also name the conversations that should come to you without the agent answering at all: a complaint, a request for a custom quote, a lead who asks for the owner by name. Those land in the inbox with the agent quiet on that thread until you say otherwise.
What does an AI sales agent cost?
The plan is $25 a month or $200 a year for the whole account, with a 14-day free trial. That includes unlimited agents, unlimited contacts and every channel, with no per-seat, per-agent, per-conversation or per-minute charge. The AI runs on your own key with one of sixteen providers, so your model provider bills you directly at cost, usually a few dollars a month for a busy agent on a small model, and we add no markup and sell no credits. Texts and calls run on your own carrier account, at your carrier's rates, which you would be paying anyway. A busy month costs no more than a quiet one.
