Live-chat 24/7
We implement a website live chat, including 24/7 mode: a fast channel to talk with the customer right on the page (live agents and/or a bot). To help here and now and not lose requests. Honestly upfront: true 24/7 by live agents is expensive (shifts and people), while a bot covers hours without agents but has limits (will not solve the complex/sensitive and irritates if it forcibly replaces a human); '24/7' is a promise you must actually deliver; and the chat itself does not guarantee satisfied customers. We make an honest chat for your resources, not an 'always available' slogan.
Live-chat 24/7 — overview

A live chat is a channel to communicate with the customer right on the site: a chat widget, live agents, if needed a bot for routine questions and off-hours, routing, conversation history, integration with a helpdesk (1006). 24/7 mode means round-the-clock availability. Honestly about the cost of 24/7, this is key: true round-the-clock support by LIVE agents is expensive — shifts, several staff, night work. For most businesses full human 24/7 is economically heavy. Realistic options: agents during work hours + a bot/auto-reply the rest of the time, or a clear chat window. We will honestly calculate what you can actually deliver rather than promise 'live agents round the clock' where it is unaffordable. Honestly about the bot and its limits: a bot covers hours without agents and routine questions, but it does NOT solve complex, non-standard and sensitive situations, and forcibly replacing a human with a bot ('first get through the bot') irritates. A good bot honestly and quickly hands over to a human when needed. We are against a bot wall. Honestly about '24/7 is a promise': if you advertise round-the-clock chat, customers will expect it. A chat that is '24/7' only in words (no one answers at night) is worse than an honest work window — it betrays expectations. Better to honestly show hours than to imitate always-availability. Honestly about 'no satisfaction guarantee': a chat is a channel; satisfaction depends on speed, answer quality and problem resolution, not on the fact of a chat. Honestly about the effect: it speeds up contact and helps not lose requests, but it is a tool requiring people/a bot and a resource. Honestly about access: agents and/or a bot, a resource for shifts, integration are needed. An important boundary: this is live chat; helpdesk — 1006; AI-FAQ/knowledge-base bot — 1009; multichannel — 1023. Picture this: instead of 'cannot reach or message anyone' — a fast honest help channel in a genuinely delivered mode. The base price starts from 40,000 ₽ (depends on mode and integrations).

FAQ
Make us a live 24/7 chat — it is simple, right?
Not simple and not cheap, honestly: true round-the-clock support by live agents means shifts, several staff, night work, and for most businesses it is economically heavy. Realistically: agents during work hours + a bot/auto-reply the rest of the time, or a clear chat window. We will honestly calculate what you can genuinely deliver rather than promise 'live agents round the clock' where it is unaffordable.
Will a bot replace agents in the chat?
Partly, honestly: a bot covers hours without agents and routine questions but does NOT solve complex, non-standard and sensitive situations. Forcibly replacing a human with a bot ('first get through the bot') irritates and angers customers. A good bot honestly and quickly hands over to a human when needed. We make a helper bot with a clear exit to an agent, not a bot wall instead of support.
Advertise '24/7' even if we do not answer at night?
No, honestly: '24/7' is a promise customers will expect. A chat that is round-the-clock only in words (no one answers at night) is worse than an honest work window — it betrays expectations and angers. Better to transparently show real hours or honestly indicate that a bot answers at night. We are for honest availability, not an 'always available' slogan that is not delivered.
