### "Solves 95% of our support requests on it's own" — 5.0/5

> **Moshe** | *12 March 2026* | Health, Wellness & Fitness | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: \* Very easy to set up 
\* AI agent connects to our knowledge base and answers quickly and accurately
\* Handles around 95% of incoming support requests automatically
\* Brings website chat, email support, and Facebook messages into one interface
\* Clean and intuitive system that requires no training
\* Much more affordable than tools like Intercom
\* Support team responds fast and is genuinely helpful
> 
> **Cons**: \* No real complaints so far
\* It covers everything we currently need for support and messaging
\* The only feature I would love to see added in the future is a voice AI agent for handling phone calls as well
> 
> Very positive overall.

We implemented Chatway to simplify support across our website, email, and social channels, and it has done exactly that. Setup was quick, the interface is very intuitive, and everything connected without much effort.

The AI agent has been especially useful. Once connected to our knowledge base it started answering questions quickly and accurately, and today it resolves the large majority of incoming inquiries without human involvement. That alone saves us a lot of time.

The platform is also very affordable compared to many other support tools, while still offering everything we need. Whenever we had a question, the support team responded quickly and helped resolve things fast.

Overall it has been a simple, reliable, and cost-effective solution for running customer support.
