Sound familiar?

Customers write everywhere. Nobody sees all of it.

WhatsApp · reception phoneEmail · owner's inboxWebsite form · an inboxone customer · three apps · three people

Three apps, three people, one customer.

The reception phone has WhatsApp, the owner gets the emails, the website form goes to an inbox someone checks on Mondays.

Free tomorrow at 11?11:40 pmSorry, just saw this!2:20 pmthe slot went to someone who answered

The question at 11:40 pm gets an answer at 2:20 pm.

Most booking questions are simple. By the time a person sees them, the customer has booked somewhere that replied.

The colour burnt my scalp.Great! Book again?the bot never knew when to stop

A bot that never knows when to stop.

Canned flows answer a complaint like a booking. The customer screenshots it, and that is the review you get.

SK Chat puts every channel in one inbox, with an AI that answers and a person a click away.

How it works

Arrive. Answer. Hand over. Resolve.

Every message lands in one inbox on the customer's own record. On Growth and Scale the AI answers what your content covers and passes the rest to a person, with the whole chat. On Starter, your team answers everything.

01 · ArriveWeb, WhatsApp, SMS, email

Website chat, your WhatsApp Business number, SMS and email, in one stream with media, voice notes and locations.

02 · AnswerAI from your content

The AI answers only from what you give it, checks calendar slots, raises tickets and books call-backs in SK CRM.

03 · Hand overA person, one click

Unknown questions, unhappy customers or a request for a person go to the right agent, and the AI stops.

04 · ResolveClosed, then rated

Resolve the chat and a CSAT survey goes out. Response and resolution times land in analytics.

Proof you can check

No borrowed logos. Rules you can test on the demo.

SK Chat 6.0 shipped in October 2026. These are how the product behaves, not promises; ask us to show any of them on the call.

The AI uses only the tools you allow

Each business turns tools on or off. With none enabled, the AI can only answer from your content.

A person takes over, the AI stops

Once an agent owns a chat, AI replies pause for it. They do not come back on their own.

One switch turns the AI off

A kill switch stops every AI reply for the business at once; staff test numbers let you try changes safely.

Consent and erasure built in

Consent is logged per customer, retention is a setting, and an erasure request purges the customer's chats and files.

What it does, in eight moves

From the first hello to the five stars.

One inbox

Website, WhatsApp, SMS and email on one screen.

Every conversation arrives in one live inbox: channels and filters on the left, the thread in the middle with typing and delivery as it happens, and the customer's record on the right. A visitor who starts anonymous on your website and later writes on WhatsApp or by email stays one customer with one history.

  • Images, voice notes, documents, video and location pins, in and out
  • Tags and filters by channel, status, priority or branch
  • Statuses you can trust: AI handling, with a person, waiting, resolved

AI agent with hand-offGrowth

Answers what it knows. Books what it can. Hands over the rest.

Give the AI your services, prices and policies. It answers from those and nothing else, checks your calendar for open slots, raises a ticket for a fault and books a call-back in SK CRM. When a question is outside its content, a customer is unhappy, or someone asks for a person, it stops and passes the chat to an agent with everything said so far.

  • Tools you switch on: calendar slots, create a ticket, create a CRM call-back
  • A kill switch for every AI reply, and staff test numbers to try changes safely
  • Included replies on Growth and Scale, then USD 0.02 a reply from the wallet

WhatsApp Business

The official API, without a Meta account to run.

Connect your WhatsApp Business number through the official cloud API. Every WhatsApp chat shows how long is left of the 24-hour customer-care window, so nobody sends a paid message by accident. Outside the window, send an approved template with quick-reply or call-to-action buttons. Template fees come from your Softknack wallet; there is no separate Meta bill to manage.

  • Template manager, number verification and the window on every thread
  • Marketing templates USD 0.035, utility and one-time codes USD 0.005, from the wallet
  • A customer's message, and your replies inside 24 hours of it, cost nothing

Website widget and triggers

Greet the visitor who is about to leave the pricing page.

One script tag puts the widget on your site in your colours, with your logo, greeting and opening hours. On Growth and Scale, triggers open it with a message of your own: when someone lands on a page you choose, stays a set time, scrolls far enough, or moves to leave.

  • Widgets per plan: 1, 3 or 10 sites or brands
  • Visitors can stay anonymous, or leave a phone or email you choose to ask for
  • Visitor sessions signed; requests rate-limited

Routing and chat caps

The next chat goes to the right person, not the loudest phone.

Every plan shares new chats round-robin across the team on duty. On Growth and Scale, route by skill, such as sales, bookings or billing, or to whoever has the fewest open chats, and set a cap per agent so nobody holds fifteen at once. People go to away after fifteen minutes idle and stop receiving chats until they are back.

  • Active, away, busy and offline, shown to the whole team
  • Transfer a chat to another agent with its notes
  • Roles: super admin, admin and agent
What each plan routes

Notes, replies and tickets

Type a slash for the answer. One click for the ticket.

Saved replies come up with a slash: /prices, /parking, /refund. Internal notes sit on the thread in yellow, seen only by your team. When a chat turns into a real problem, escalate it to SK Tickets in one click; the transcript and the files go with it, so the customer never repeats themselves.

  • Saved replies and internal notes on every plan
  • 1-click escalation to SK Tickets, with transcript and attachments
  • Files kept in SK Drive and scanned before they are shown

CSAT and analytics

Know how fast you answer, and how it felt.

Resolving a chat sends the customer a short survey, and the stars land beside the conversation. Every plan gets the basics. Growth and Scale add the full picture: first response time, average resolution time, first-contact resolution, the busiest hours, and each agent's load and scores.

  • CSAT survey on resolve, on every plan
  • Response and resolution times, peak hours, per-agent performance on Growth
  • Resolved history with notes, times and ratings

Consent, privacy and control

Hosted in India. Customers' chats handled the way the law expects.

Your organisation's chats are kept apart from every other organisation's. Consent is logged per customer as granted, declined or pending. Retention is a setting, and an erasure request under US consumer privacy law purges the customer's chats and the files they sent. Staff sign in through the Softknack platform; website visitors get signed session tokens; requests are rate-limited.

  • Consent log per customer, with the channel it was given on
  • Retention window you set; older chats are removed on schedule
  • Erasure that removes the customer's chats and files together
  • AI kill switch that stops every AI reply at once

Questions owners ask

Before the demo.

What does SK Chat cost?
One price per organisation: Starter USD 29, Growth USD 79 and Scale USD 199 a month, before sales tax. Tiers set the seats (3, 5, 15), WhatsApp numbers (1, 2, 5), widgets and conversations a month (1,000, 5,000, 20,000). AI starts on Growth with 1,500 replies a month included. Every plan starts with 15 days free.
Will the AI make things up?
It answers only from the content you give it, and uses only the tools you switch on. When a question is outside that content, the customer is unhappy, or they ask for a person, it hands the chat to an agent with the whole conversation and stops replying.
Do we need our own Meta account for WhatsApp?
You need a WhatsApp Business number, which we connect through the official cloud API with you. Template fees come from your Softknack wallet at the rates on the pricing page; there is no separate Meta bill to manage. A customer's message, and your replies within 24 hours of it, cost nothing.
We already use SK CRM. Is this the same inbox?
SK Chat is the full conversation product: widget, triggers, routing, caps, tickets, CSAT and the AI agent across website, WhatsApp, SMS and email. It works on the same customer record as SK CRM, so a chat and a lead are the same person.
Do you support SMS?
Yes. Website chat, WhatsApp, SMS and email are live in one inbox. Instagram DMs and a help center are coming soon; until then SK Chat in the USA is sold to SK Salon, SK Works and SK Fleet customers.
Where is our data stored?
Hosted in India. Your organisation's chats are isolated from every other organisation's, consent is logged per customer, and an erasure request purges the customer's chats and files.
