What is Chatonio?

Welcome to Chatonio

Chatonio is a multi-tenant, AI-first customer support platform designed to ensure your customers always get a response — even when your team is offline.

How it works

When a customer sends a message through any connected channel (Telegram, web chat widget, email, or helpdesk portal), Chatonio's AI immediately responds. The AI continues handling the conversation until a human operator actively takes over.

Key features

  • AI always responds — no more unanswered messages outside business hours
  • Seamless handoff — operators can claim conversations at any time, with automatic fallback if they go silent
  • Multi-channel — Telegram bots, embeddable web chat widgets, email, and helpdesk portals
  • Knowledge Base — the AI uses your FAQ and articles to give accurate, contextual answers
  • Real-time dashboard — operators see live conversations with WebSocket updates and push notifications
  • Team scheduling — shift management with automatic routing to available operators

Who is it for?

Chatonio is built for support teams of any size — from solo founders who need 24/7 coverage to larger teams managing multiple projects and channels.
