FAQ
Answers to the questions teams ask before they launch.
Learn how Chatvox handles training, deployment, actions, billing, and team controls so you can evaluate the platform with the real product in mind.
Getting Started
What Chatvox is and who it fits
What is Chatvox?
Chatvox is a team-based AI agent platform for building customer-facing chat experiences. Teams can train agents on business content, deploy them through public chat pages and website widgets, and connect conversations to workflow actions.
Who typically uses Chatvox?
The product is a strong fit for marketing teams, support teams, sales teams, and SaaS operations teams that need branded AI chat backed by real content and connected to business workflows.
Is Chatvox just a website chatbot?
No. The product is broader than a widget. It combines agent creation, knowledge ingestion, deployment, actions, integrations, analytics, and billing controls in one platform.
How does a team get started?
The typical flow is: create an agent, add knowledge sources, customize branding and behavior, publish a public chat page or web widget, connect integrations if needed, then monitor conversations, leads, usage, and feedback.
Training
How knowledge and retraining work
What can I train an agent on?
Chatvox supports file uploads, direct URLs, selected website pages, sitemap imports, raw text, Q&A entries, and crawl jobs. This lets teams combine website content, docs, internal references, and controlled answer material in one agent.
Can I choose specific pages from my website?
Yes. Website sync starts from a URL, discovers internal links, and lets you choose which pages become training sources. Sitemap import is also available for larger or more structured sites.
What happens after I add a source?
Each source moves through a processing lifecycle such as pending, scanning, processing, embedding, indexed, or failed. The product shows progress and lets teams understand where a source is in the pipeline.
Can I retrain or retry sources later?
Yes. Chatvox supports retraining indexed sources, retrying failed ones, bulk deletion, and replacement behavior when source content changes.
Are there knowledge limits?
Yes. Knowledge is tracked per agent by character count. Current limits are 400,000 characters on Free, 10,000,000 on Starter, 20,000,000 on Standard, and 40,000,000 on Pro.
Deployment
Where agents can be published
What deployment channels does Chatvox support?
Chatvox currently supports two customer-facing deployment channels: Public Chat and Web Widget. Both are powered by the same underlying agent.
Can each channel behave differently?
Yes. Each deployment can use its own model, system prompt, welcome message, suggested prompts, persistence mode, and appearance settings.
What is Public Chat best for?
Public Chat is best for standalone help pages, support experiences, campaign pages, and any shareable self-service link where you want a branded chat page.
What is the Web Widget best for?
The Web Widget is designed for websites and SaaS products where you want an embeddable chat launcher. It supports display settings, color controls, prompt behavior, and generated embed script output.
Can I restrict where the widget is embedded?
Yes. The widget supports allowed embed domains, including exact domains, wildcard subdomains, and localhost. If the allowlist is configured, the widget can be limited to approved origins only.
Actions & Integrations
What the agent can do beyond answering
What actions are available today?
The current customer-facing actions are Collect Leads, Salesforce Add Lead, Slack Notification, and Custom API. They are configured per agent and can be enabled or disabled individually.
Do actions depend on plan limits?
Yes. Free includes 0 actions, Starter supports up to 5, Standard up to 8, and Pro up to 12.
Do integrations require a paid plan?
Yes. Native integrations like Slack and Salesforce require Starter or above. They are also connected at the agent level, not only the workspace level.
Can actions be limited by deployment channel?
Yes. Action configuration can be scoped to specific deployment channels, which in practice maps to Web Widget and Public Chat.
What if I need a workflow that is not covered by a native integration?
That is what Custom API is for. It lets Chatvox call your own HTTPS endpoints so you can connect internal systems, CRMs, ticketing flows, scheduling, or other operational tooling.
Billing
Plans, credits, and add-ons
How does billing work?
Chatvox uses plan-based access with monthly credits, agent limits, team-member limits, action limits, and optional add-ons. Plans mainly control scale and model access, while add-ons extend capacity and branding control.
What does the free plan include?
The Free plan includes 50 monthly credits, 1 agent, 1 team member, 400,000 characters of knowledge per agent, GPT-4o Mini access, and no actions. Free-plan agents are deleted after 14 days of inactivity.
What add-ons are available?
Current add-ons include credit packs, extra agent capacity, white-label branding, and optional auto top-up depending on billing configuration. Add-ons require an active paid subscription.
Can I control usage across multiple agents?
Yes. Teams can optionally set a credit cap per agent to protect shared workspace usage, limit experimentation on high-cost agents, or allocate budget across agents.
Does Chatvox support white-label?
Yes. White-label is a paid add-on that removes Chatvox branding from customer-facing deployment surfaces like the public chat page and web widget.
Teams & Security
Collaboration, support, and protection controls
Can multiple people work in the same workspace?
Yes. Chatvox is organized around teams that can own agents, manage billing, invite members, and share access to the same workspace. The current roles are Admin, Editor, and Viewer.
What account and authentication features are supported?
The product supports standard email and password authentication, password reset, email verification, optional Google sign-in when configured, and two-factor authentication built on Fortify.
What support flow exists inside the product?
Chatvox includes a built-in help flow for support case submission with account selection, related agent selection, issue type, severity, subject, description, and up to three attachments.
How does Chatvox protect public chat and widgets?
Public chat supports request throttling and session proof checks for chat history flows. Widgets support allowed embed domain allowlists. The platform also includes invitation throttling, billing throttling, onboarding throttling, IP bans, and account flags.
Are there admin controls for operational oversight?
Yes. Super admins have access to audit logs, moderation tools, global integration controls, support ticket queues, team management, and trial management.
Still evaluating the fit?
Start with one agent and real content
The fastest way to understand Chatvox is to train an agent on your own site or docs, publish it, and see how it performs in a live workflow.
