Buyer guide
Chatbot vs live chat: which fits your website inquiries?
The choice is less about which label sounds better and more about when a visitor needs an answer, who is available to reply, and what should happen after the conversation.

AI chatbot
A configured system replies from your information when the team is busy or offline.
A useful hybrid
Let the chatbot handle the first conversation and give a person the context when judgment is needed.
Choose live chat when human judgment is the product
Staffed live chat can be the right choice for complex support, high-empathy situations, or teams that already have reliable coverage throughout the hours visitors arrive.
Choose an AI chatbot when response coverage is the gap
An AI website chatbot is useful when visitors need an immediate answer, the team is often busy, and a short qualification flow can improve the handoff.
Ask what happens after the answer
Compare the booking path, notification flow, transcript and context visibility, customization, and install effort. A chat bubble is not the outcome; a useful next step is.
