Crisp
Shared inbox and chat for small teams, with an AI copilot trained on your content
The verdict
Crisp brings live chat, email and social messages into one shared inbox for small teams. Its AI copilot suggests replies and summaries trained on your help content.
What it is
Crisp unifies website chat, email and social messages in a single inbox so a small team handles every channel in one place. It bundles a chatbot builder, a knowledge base and an AI copilot that drafts smart replies and summarizes threads from your content. Flat, predictable pricing appeals to bootstrapped teams. The tradeoffs are scale and polish: it is built for small and mid-size teams, so enterprises needing deep routing, SLAs and analytics will find it thin, and some channels feel less refined than single-purpose tools.
