Quality & Resolution

Higher resolution with grounded answers

Quickchat AI uses proprietary Retrieval-Augmented Generation and reranking to keep answers grounded in your approved sources. Our systems use advanced data modeling to ensure your AI stays grounded in your knowledge base. AI responses are directly connected to your approved knowledge sources (documents, help centers, internal wikis, databases).

In internal migrations, teams see an over 10 percentage point lift in resolution rate compared to Agentforce on the same Knowledge Base, without needing Data Cloud as a prerequisite.

• Grounded answers: Responses are sourced from your help center, docs, or internal knowledge base — no Data Cloud build-out required.

• Source-constrained responses: If no verified answer exists, the AI can ask a clarifying question or escalate to a human.

Pricing

Around 75% cheaper than Agentforce

Salesforce Agentforce lists $2.00 per conversation under the Conversations model for customer-facing agents, or Flex Credits at a $500 minimum for 100,000 credits under the credit-based model. Real-world Agentforce deployments also typically require Service Cloud licenses, Data Cloud, and admin/developer time, which inflate total cost of ownership well beyond the per-conversation line item. Quickchat AI starts at $0.50 per resolved conversation with no platform prerequisite.

• Lower effective cost per resolved conversation: At $2.00 per Agentforce conversation, effective cost is around $3.30–$4.00 per resolved conversation at 50–60% resolution. Quickchat starts at $0.50 per resolved conversation, around 75% lower nominally and significantly more once Salesforce stack costs are included.

• No platform prerequisite: Quickchat AI does not require Service Cloud, Data Cloud, or Einstein to deliver value. Pricing is per resolved conversation, not per attempt, so unresolved or escalated cases do not increase the bill.

Customization & Control

Shape AI behavior without Salesforce admin work

Quickchat AI lets you define assistant tone, policies, workflows, and decision rules in detail through a self-serve interface, so the assistant behaves like your team expects without Apex, Flow Builder, or a six-month Salesforce admin engagement.

• Set role-specific instructions for support, sales, and onboarding scenarios.

• Control escalation logic, guardrails, and fallback behavior.

• Configure business workflows and API actions without Salesforce admin or developer work.

• Adjust your AI continuously with feedback loops from real conversations.

Observability

See exactly why the AI answered

Quickchat AI includes transparent traces so teams can inspect response quality, source usage, and automation outcomes in one place — without stitching together Service Cloud reports, Einstein logs, and Data Cloud queries.

• Message Sources show where each answer came from.

• Analytics dashboards track resolution rate, deflection, and conversation quality over time.

• Built-in review workflows help teams spot failures and improve quickly.

Channels & Integrations

One AI layer across more channels

Agentforce serves channels exposed through Service Cloud (Email, Chat, Messaging, voice). Quickchat AI is channel-agnostic: deploy the same AI Agent on website chat, Salesforce, Zendesk, Intercom, HubSpot, Slack, WhatsApp, Telegram, Discord, or your own API.

• Channel-agnostic deployment: Use Quickchat AI on website chat, Salesforce Service Cloud channels, Intercom, Zendesk, HubSpot, Slack, Teams, Telegram, WhatsApp, and more.

Enterprise & Security

Enterprise controls without the platform commitment

Quickchat AI is designed for enterprise requirements, including privacy controls, governance, and reliable deployment options — without forcing you to standardize on a specific CRM stack first.

• Flexible implementation: Run Quickchat AI as a Salesforce add-on or as your primary AI support layer across whatever helpdesks and channels you already use.

• Security by default: Encryption in transit and at rest, role-based controls, and GDPR/CCPA-focused data practices.
