Questions & Answers

As answered by people managing HelpRabbit.
  1. What makes HelpRabbit unique?

    Most help desks sell the AI separately and charge for every answer it gives. In HelpRabbit the AI agent, Tim, is part of the product on every plan, the free one included, and there is no fee per resolution.

    The other difference is that chat and tickets are one conversation. A visitor asks Tim in the widget, and if they need a person, the same thread goes to your team with everything already said. If the visitor has left the site, your reply reaches them by email. Nobody has to repeat themselves.

  2. Why should a person choose HelpRabbit over its competitors?

    • Free for unlimited agents, so adding a teammate never raises the bill.
    • Paid plans are flat for the whole team ($29, $99 or $249 a month), with no per-seat fee and no charge per AI resolution.
    • Tim answers from your own site and docs, and hands off to a person with the conversation attached.
    • Chat, email tickets, calls, a help center and analytics are one product, not three tools stitched together.
    • Setup takes an afternoon: paste one script tag, and Tim reads your site while you pick a colour.
  3. How would you describe the primary audience of HelpRabbit?

    Small and growing teams that support customers through their website: SaaS companies, online stores, agencies and service businesses. It fits teams of one to a few dozen people who want an AI agent to take the repeat questions without paying per seat or per answer.

  4. Which are the primary technologies used for building HelpRabbit?

    • Laravel (PHP) on the backend, MySQL for data and Redis for caching
    • React and Tailwind CSS for the dashboard
    • A plain JavaScript widget that loads on any website
    • Centrifugo for realtime updates and LiveKit for voice and video calls
    • Electron for the desktop app and React Native for the Android app
