Kommunicate is an AI-powered customer support platform that combines chatbot automation with live agent chat — enabling support teams to automate repetitive queries with AI while maintaining human escalation for complex issues. It is designed for product and SaaS companies that want scalable, 24/7 support without proportionally scaling headcount.
Product Overview
Kommunicate's chatbot builder integrates with AI/NLP platforms — Dialogflow, Amazon Lex, IBM Watson, and its own Kompose bot builder — allowing teams to build intelligent conversational flows without deep AI expertise. The platform's smart escalation logic detects when a bot conversation is breaking down and transfers to a live agent with full conversation context preserved — eliminating the frustration of customers having to repeat themselves. Support teams manage live conversations in a shared inbox with customer history, tags, and internal notes. The platform supports web chat, WhatsApp, Facebook Messenger, and in-app mobile chat from one management interface. Its focus on bot-to-human transition quality differentiates it from chatbot-only platforms.
