melibo versus AcornChat

The German chatbot company melibo combines live chat with AI Chatbots. The chatbot is there for your customers 24/7 and answers all those repetitive questions, while your agents can focus on more critical and complex inquiries.

melibo’s primary focus still seems to be on the German market but they are shifting to a more international approach with the addition of an English version of their website. The chatbot’s learning can be done in multiple languages through DeepL Translator. The chatbot on their website only speaks German, though. 750

AcornChat is a dedicated Live Chat integration for Slack. It is intended for companies with fewer than 15 employees. AcornChat does not have its own dashboard, all conversations are managed in your Slack workspace. If you are already a Slack power user this might be a perfect fit for you.

The app is straightforward and has one other functionality than routing all messages through Slack; you can enable the email capture function when you are not online to answer any incoming queries. Set up the chat widget and create a dedicated channel or select an existing one in Slack. A new thread is created for each visitor that contacts you, providing a clear overview.
