Frequently asked questions

What can an SMS chatbot do for software companies?
Two-way AI text messaging that answers questions, confirms details and follows up by SMS, which is useful when customers won't install an app or open email. For software companies, common starting points are answering technical pre-sales questions about integrations and deployment; developer support from API docs and code samples; triage of bug reports with environment details collected up front.
Does it work with the tools software companies already use?
Yes — the goal is to fit around documentation sites, issue trackers such as Jira, and developer portals, not replace them. SMS runs through a carrier-registered number and syncs replies to your CRM, scheduling or ticketing system.
How long does rollout take?
Business texting in the US requires carrier registration (10DLC) and clear opt-in, so setup covers number registration and consent language as well as the conversation design.
How is technical accuracy handled?
Technical answers should come from versioned documentation. The assistant can cite the doc it used and escalate to an engineer when the answer isn't documented.
