Decagon (standalone AI Agent platform)

Affordable alternative to Decagon

Decagon is a standalone AI Agent platform for customer support across chat, voice, and email, with customers including Chime, Duolingo, ClassPass, Eventbrite, Notion, and Substack. It runs as its own product (not embedded in an existing helpdesk), with deployment delivered through enterprise sales and professional services. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and is custom-quoted per contract; public reporting cites an annual platform fee on top of per-conversation or per-resolution rates.

Quickchat AI is an alternative for teams that want a strong AI Agent without an annual platform fee, a sales-led rollout, or contractual minimums. Outcome-based pricing starts at $0.50 per resolved conversation, with self-serve onboarding and full per-answer traceability.

Easy Migration

Move from Decagon to Quickchat AI in three steps

Decagon is a standalone platform, so switching means migrating your knowledge base, agent configuration, and channel deployments to Quickchat AI. Most teams complete the migration in 1–2 weeks while keeping the existing Decagon deployment running until cutover.

Connect your knowledge

Import your help center, internal docs, and product data into Quickchat AI's Knowledge Base. The retrieval layer handles ranking and grounding automatically.

  • Import URLs, PDFs, and structured data into the Knowledge Base.
  • Map Decagon's KB collections to Quickchat AI sources.
  • Validate retrieval quality with the built-in test suite.

Configure your AI Agent

Recreate the prompts, AI Actions, and guardrails Decagon was running, with a self-serve interface and per-answer traceability.

  • Translate Decagon's agent prompts into Quickchat AI's Conversation Design Module.
  • Re-implement Decagon workflows as Quickchat AI Actions and API calls.
  • Configure guardrails, escalation logic, and human handoff.

Cut over channels

Switch website chat, helpdesks, WhatsApp, Slack, or other channels to Quickchat AI, then retire the Decagon contract.

  • Replace the Decagon widget on your website with Quickchat AI.
  • Re-route helpdesk integrations (Zendesk, Intercom, etc.) through Quickchat AI.
  • Cancel Decagon and consolidate billing under per-resolution pricing.

Quality & Resolution

Comparable 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).

Decagon and Quickchat AI both deliver strong resolution rates on enterprise support traffic. Quickchat AI's advantage is transparent retrieval: you can inspect why each answer was returned, which sources it used, and where the agent fell back, without filing a request to Decagon's customer engineering team.

  • Grounded answers: Responses are sourced from your help center, docs, or internal knowledge base, with per-answer source attribution.

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

Pricing

Transparent per-resolution pricing without an annual platform fee

Decagon does not publicly disclose pricing. Rates are negotiated per contract, with public reporting citing an annual platform fee on top of either per-conversation or per-resolution charges, plus minimum conversation commitments in enterprise contracts. Quickchat AI starts at $0.50 per resolved conversation, with no platform fee and no annual minimum. Self-serve onboarding lets teams launch without going through enterprise sales.

  • Outcome-based pricing from $0.50: Quickchat AI charges $0.50 per resolved conversation, with no platform fee and no annual commitment. Decagon's pricing is custom-quoted per contract and not publicly disclosed.

  • No platform fee, no contract minimums: Pricing scales linearly with resolutions. There is no annual platform fee and no minimum conversation commitment to clear before deploying.

Customization & Control

Self-serve customization without an enterprise sales cycle

Quickchat AI lets you define assistant tone, policies, workflows, and decision rules through a self-serve interface. Decagon's customization is delivered primarily through customer engineering and shared configuration with the Decagon team, which is effective but slows iteration.

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

  • Control escalation logic, guardrails, and fallback behavior.

  • Configure business workflows and API actions without filing a Decagon support ticket.

  • Iterate on prompts, sources, and actions in minutes instead of release cycles.

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 coordinating with Decagon's analytics team.

  • 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

Same channel coverage, fewer enterprise dependencies

Decagon deploys mainly across chat, voice, and email, with helpdesk integrations negotiated during onboarding. Quickchat AI is channel-agnostic out of the box: deploy the same AI Agent on website chat, Zendesk, Intercom, HubSpot, Salesforce, Slack, WhatsApp, Telegram, Discord, or your own API.

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

Enterprise & Security

Enterprise controls without the enterprise contract

Quickchat AI is designed for enterprise requirements, including privacy controls, governance, and reliable deployment options, without an annual platform fee or a multi-month procurement cycle.

GDPR compliant EU data residency No training on customer data
  • Flexible implementation: Run Quickchat AI as your primary AI support layer or alongside an existing helpdesk. Self-serve onboarding for most teams; dedicated implementation for larger rollouts.

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