A helpdesk with AI vs. a sales agent on your site
Agentmatica's home is the chat on your website. It answers from your pages and catalog, recommends what fits, suggests add-ons from your Sales notes and adds the right variant to the cart. When a chat needs a person, it hands it to you in Slack, Telegram, email or Zendesk.
Commslayer's home is the inbox: every channel your customers write from, with an AI that resolves tickets and takes order and subscription actions. For a team doing support all day, that's the point.
Sources the shopper can see
Agentmatica puts the source page under the answer in the chat, so the shopper can check it too. To fix an answer, coach the agent privately in one line from the conversation and the correction sticks.
Commslayer trains on your products, pages, help articles and guidance, and you can test it in a playground against real questions.
How to move from Commslayer to Agentmatica
Set Agentmatica up and test it in your dashboard first, then swap the chat on your site, so you're never without one.
- 01
Before you cancel Commslayer
- Export your conversations from Commslayer's Account Settings.
- Copy your guidance and training responses, so you can add them as text snippets.
- 02
Bring your knowledge across
Paste your store URL and we crawl your pages. If your Commslayer help center is public, add its articles with Add Page URL. Add your most-used help articles with Add Page URL, upload PDF, DOCX, TXT or Markdown files, and paste the answers you copied as text snippets. After launch, Improve answer on any reply saves the exact wording you want.
- 03
Swap the chat on your site
Remove Commslayer's chat first. On Shopify, turn off its app embed under Online Store → Themes → Customize → App embeds, then uninstall the app. On WordPress, deactivate its plugin. Anywhere else, delete its script tag. Then add Agentmatica with the Shopify theme block, the WordPress plugin or one snippet.
- 04
Keep your helpdesk for tickets
Keep Commslayer for email and social if you like. Agentmatica handles the chat on your website and hands chats that need a person to your team in Slack, Telegram or email.
Rather not do it yourself? Assisted Launch ($490 one-time) sets the agent up around the job that matters most to you and goes through the answers with you before it goes live. The full checklist is in Move from another chat tool.
