LiveChat operates as a specialized customer service and lead generation software that businesses embed directly into their websites via a small snippet of JavaScript code. When a visitor navigates to the website, a chat widget appears in the corner of the screen, allowing them to type questions or requests. These inquiries route instantly to a centralized agent dashboard or a hybrid artificial intelligence assistant managed by the company's support team. Agents receive notifications in real-time, enabling them to view customer details, respond with canned or customized answers, share links, and resolve issues directly within the browser interface while tracking satisfaction metrics and conversation histories.
