It’s been a big few months. 🎉
The headline: your videos can now hold a conversation. There’s also a new way to see what your bot says before a customer does, a way for it to pull answers out of the software you already use, and finally a straight answer to “is any of this actually bringing in work?”
Here is everything new in Update #54.
Someone watching your video is the most interested they are ever going to be. Until now that moment ended with a couple of buttons and a hope that one of them was what they wanted.
Now your video can give up half its frame to a real conversation. The video keeps playing on top, and a live chat takes the space the buttons used to have. Your customer asks “do you service my area?” while they’re still watching, and gets an answer without going anywhere.
The hardest part of letting AI answer for you is not knowing what it says when you’re not watching. So we built a page where you can watch.
Write out a conversation the way one of your customers would actually have it, hit run, and your real bot answers it in front of you. Every run is checked against five promises:
You’ll find it under Chat → AI Autocheck.
Your bot used to answer from your website and whatever you taught it. Now it can reach into the software you already run your business on and pull a live answer out of it — using your own account, set up per website, under AI → Tools.
The first one is live for real estate: the bot searches an agent’s own property listings and answers with swipeable cards — photo, price, address, beds and baths — plus a full photo gallery when someone taps “Tell me more.” No copying listings into your training data, and nothing goes stale.
Real estate is just the first. If there’s a system you’d want your bot pulling answers out of, reply and tell us what it is — that’s how we pick the next one.
Two new cards on your Engagement tab: Button Clicks and Conversions.
Every button a customer taps inside a chat is now counted — book a call, get a quote, see pricing — and conversions are the ones you’ve marked as the goal. Nothing was counting this before, so you can finally tell the difference between a chat widget that looks busy and one that’s actually booking work.
When a chat comes in, the email you get now leads with a suggested reply you can send as is, along with whether it looks like a real lead and how urgent it is.
Instead of scrolling back through a transcript at nine at night, you read a few lines and decide.
Plus a long list of fixes across chat, video and training — the kind you’ll only notice because things stopped being annoying. 😌
