About

SimplyBoost is the AI customer support agent built in Europe for companies that take service seriously. It answers customers 24/7 on your website, Instagram DMs and WhatsApp, in their own language. Train it on a custom knowledge source made from all your company data: your website, PDFs (even scanned), Word files, CSVs, Q&A pairs and Shopify store content. Every reply is grounded in your knowledge, and a Missing answers view shows what to add next. On Instagram it replies to DMs and turns post comments into private conversations, so no lead goes cold. It captures and scores leads, books meetings in Google Calendar, runs workflows and webhooks to HubSpot, Salesforce and Slack, and hands complex cases to your team in Zendesk, Freshdesk or Gorgias. Hosted in Europe with a DPA, white-label options and a dedicated account manager on enterprise plans. Made for enterprise, mid-market and growing teams. Your company knowledge, answering customers 24/7 on every channel.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • Easy to use & very helpful for productivity. I like it because it saves time and works smoothly even on basic tasks.
  • Efficient with ticketing issuance to streamline the service delivery. The templates are a great with ease of customization. Simple, robust and intuitive.
  • Good looking, smooth working and highly adaptable. Works like a charm! The app is responsive on the desktop and mobile app.
  • It is good in terms of resolving queries for service provider companies of mid level. Assign your queries, reply and resolve.
  • One feature that I really liked about Freshdesk Chat is that the platform has an automated system for the management and creation of new support tickets, since every time a customer accesses this live chat and there is no agent available to assist them , the customer can always fill out a form to create a new ticket along with their contact information, Freshdesk automatically generates a new ticket number with all the customer information and stores it in the cloud. Freshdesk also allows you to add roles, manage tickets for each agent and thus reduce the time it takes to answer these tickets, in addition, it allows you to add automated responses and add automated emails depending on the requirement. New ticket escalations can also be created, to add investigations to specific tickets.

Cons

  • Some features can be improved, especially for users who need more advanced options.
  • Excellent templates with customization to suite users needs.
  • Until now, nothing. Ok, the price is a bit high bit worth it Maybe an integration of the articles in WordPress blog.
  • There are a few automation with cannot be done in Freshdesk and it doesn't seem quite optimised.
  • Integrating this platform for the first time within a website is quite a complicated process, you have to set up automated responses, set up chat integration on the home page and on other web pages, and many other settings that make the process to implement this software is complex. Another negative aspect is that Freshdesk Chat does not allow you to send such large files through live chat, there is a limit on the number of files that customers can send through this chat and also administrators, also you cannot send images in such a resolution high, which somewhat limits the sharing of information through this chat.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • Customers can now book appointments directly in the chat. The agent checks our calendar, offers free times and confirms the booking, so the back-and-forth emails and calls to find a slot are gone. Routine support questions are answered straight from our own website and documents, at any hour, which has cut the manual work on customer queries by about half. When something needs a person, it is handed to our team with the whole conversation, so the customer never has to explain twice. Setup and the switch from our previous tool were easy, and the interface is intuitive. For our business [describe your business, e.g. a service company taking appointments for …] it has made both booking and support noticeably smoother.
  • During my experience with SimplyBoost, I found the platform easy to use and navigate. I tried it for consumer goods portfolio and liked how retailers can conveniently access product specifications and get answers to their queries. When integrated with our website, retailers are getting customized responses directly instead of having to search through extensive product data to find the information they need. This is equally useful for end customers, as they can raise queries and get relevant responses more easily. I also found its lead generation capabilities valuable, as they help capture potential leads and minimize the chances of missing business opportunities.
  • Since we started using SimplyBoost, our team handles roughly 50% fewer customer queries by hand. The AI agent answers the common questions straight from our own website and documents. It captures lead details and books appointments directly into our calendar, so most conversations are handled end to end without us stepping in. When a question does need a person, it reaches us with the full conversation, so we don’t have to start over. Switching from our previous tool was easy, and the interface is intuitive enough that the team picked it up quickly. For our use case , it has freed up real time every week.
  • Helps us manage customer conversations more efficiently. AI automation saves time on repetitive enquiries. Combines customer engagement and lead generation in one platform. Helps us respond to customers more quickly.
  • Simplyboost was super simple to setup. Took me 10 mins to add it on my website and instagram. Native integration with slack really helped us solve a lot of tickets in one go

Cons

  • We haven’t come across any real drawbacks for how we use it so far. Booking and support both work the way we need them to.
  • I haven't come across any major drawbacks during my experience so far. The platform is easy to navigate and offers good flexibility for customization.
  • Honestly, we haven’t run into any real drawbacks for our use case so far. Everything we needed was covered during setup.
  • Some advanced features may take time to explore and configure. More integration options and customization would be welcome.
  • We also wanted the API endpoints, but it was not ready few months back. Now, it’s working and it’s just fine
