A plain comparison
A talking website or a chat widget?
Both answer questions on your website. One waits in the corner for someone to type; the other greets your visitors first, by voice, and shows them around.
Your host on this page is an AI agent, and says so.
Side by side
| Question | A talking website | A chat widget |
|---|---|---|
| How it starts | Greets the visitor first, by voice, once they tap to start | Waits for the visitor to type |
| How visitors talk to it | Out loud; a small chat menu when there is no microphone | Typing |
| A face | A living host with a face | Usually an icon |
| What it does on your pages | Opens the right page, fills a form only after the visitor confirms, books the next step | Answers and sends links |
| What it answers from | Your own pages, services and hours | Whatever it was set up with |
| Who sets it up | We build it with you and host it | Often you, from a dashboard |
When a chat widget is the better choice
A chat widget can be the better fit when your visitors are at work and cannot use sound, or when you only need typed answers from a help center you already have.

Frequently asked questions
Can visitors still type?
Yes. Chat sits in a small menu, and it is there on its own when a device has no microphone or speaker.
Does the microphone turn on by itself?
No. It opens only after the visitor taps.
Does it say it is an AI?
Yes, always.
