Or see it on your own website first. About a minute, no account, no card.

What you get, in the order it matters.

  1. 01

    Accurate answers, from your content

    Your representative answers from your website and the documents you give it, in the visitor's language. When it is not sure, it says so, asks a clarifying question, or offers to connect the visitor with you. We tested this on a real law firm's website with thirty hard questions and published every grade.

  2. 02

    Knowledge your team controls

    Every fact it uses is listed in your dashboard. Correct any of them, add what your site does not say, upload price lists and policies, and re-read your site when it changes. Edited facts are marked and survive every re-crawl.

  3. 03

    Enquiries captured, not lost

    When a visitor wants to hear from you, the representative asks for a name and a real email address or phone number. The enquiry lands in your dashboard with a summary of the conversation and what the visitor was looking for.

  4. 04

    Notifications reach the right person

    Lead and enquiry notifications go to the address you choose: reception, sales, the partner on duty, a shared mailbox. Unlimited users included: your whole team works in the same dashboard, and plans are priced per website.

Security you can check.

How we handle your data

  • Customer data is stored in Frankfurt, Germany. Our AI providers process requests outside the EEA under the safeguards in our privacy policy.
  • Each customer's data is isolated technically on every access, and that isolation is covered by automated tests we run on every change.
  • Your content and conversations are never used to train AI models; our agreements with AI providers exclude it.
  • Card details go to Paddle, our merchant of record, never through Predvora.
  • Conversation transcripts are deleted after 12 months; hashed network identifiers after 30 days.
  • Every conversation carries a visible notice that the visitor is talking to an AI representative of your business.

Choose the shape that fits your business.

The five products on this page are customer-service platforms: an AI agent inside a helpdesk, with seats for the people who answer live. They are built for teams that staff a chat.

Predvora is built for a different situation: a business whose website receives questions it cannot answer at 9 pm, and that would rather receive the enquiry than staff a chat. The representative answers what your site can answer, says so when it cannot, and sends the enquiry to the person who should follow up. Nobody has to sit in an inbox.

What each product states on its own pages.

Each row is a question a buyer asks. Numbers link to the exact vendor page. "Not stated" means the vendor's pages do not say; it does not mean no.

Where each product matches Predvora, and where it differs.

Fin by Intercom

Fin is the AI agent inside Intercom's helpdesk. It answers from help center articles, PDFs, public web pages and synced knowledge bases, and hands over to a team inbox when it cannot resolve a conversation.118

Matches: answers only from your content; says when it did not find an answer.12 EU-hosted workspaces have AI requests processed within Europe.12 Trial without a card.38

Differs: built around a helpdesk with seats; going live over chat requires at least ten public Help Center articles and the Messenger.2 EU hosting is on the Advanced and Expert plans only.23 Anonymized customer data may be used to fine-tune Fin unless you opt out.28 Priced per outcome, in USD.33

Suits you if a support team works in a helpdesk all day and you want the AI inside that inbox, across email, chat, WhatsApp and phone.

Tidio Lyro

Tidio is a live-chat and helpdesk suite; Lyro is its AI agent. Lyro answers from URLs you paste and from question and answer pairs it generates, which you can edit one by one, and transfers to Tidio's inbox when it cannot answer.3819

Matches: fact-level editing of website knowledge; "I don't know" instead of guessing; EEA servers by default; a free way to start.8132439

Differs: the handoff lands in Tidio's own live-chat inbox or a ticket.19 Its listed AI providers include one hosted in the US.14 Aggregated, anonymised interaction data may tune its models; opting out goes through support.29 Priced per AI conversation, in USD.34

Suits you if you want staff answering live chat and an AI that transfers to them, with a very large WordPress install base behind it.

Chatbase

Chatbase is a build-your-own AI agent for customer support. You point it at your website, files, Q&As and Notion pages; it answers from them and says so when something is not covered.4

Matches: a no-training policy stated plainly.30 Website crawl, no flows to build.

Differs: hosted in the United States with, in its own words, no data residency option; where AI requests are processed is not stated.25 Hallucination prevention is described as "a probabilistic control, not an absolute guarantee".15 Answers cost 1 to 5 credits depending on the model; members are capped per plan; removing the "Powered by Chatbase" line is a $99 a month add-on.35 Handoff is a ticket into a helpdesk or live chat.20

Suits you if you want to build your own agent with a choice of models and API access, and US hosting is acceptable.

Crisp (Hugo)

Crisp is a shared-inbox customer support platform; Hugo is its AI agent. Hugo learns from a website crawl, knowledge base articles, files and snippets, and escalates to a human inbox when unsure.51621

Matches: EU data hosting by default, and a stated policy of never training its AI on customer data.2631

Differs: an inbox product priced per workspace with seats included; the free plan has no AI credits.3641 Knowledge is managed at source level, not fact by fact.10 On AI processing its pages differ: the sub-processor page states in-house EU infrastructure with external providers off by default, while the model guide states the automatic default model is from OpenAI and offers EU processing for some models; where requests are processed depends on the configuration you choose.2653

Suits you if you want a full support inbox with a team continuing conversations live, hosted in the EU.

Zendesk AI agents

Zendesk is a customer-service platform for support teams with seated agents. Its AI agent answers from a connected help center or a web crawler and escalates to a human agent.622

Matches: it says when it cannot answer.52 Third-party language models are not trained on your data.32

Differs: priced per agent seat plus per automated resolution.37 EEA hosting is a free add-on from Suite Professional upward, not on Suite Team.27 Zendesk's own machine-learning models are trained on customer data unless you opt out.32 Facts are not editable individually; the AI reads your help center as it is.11

Suits you if you are a support organisation with seated agents and a help center already.

Scope and limitations.

  • Our 30-question test is one website, one day, no tuning, the public free preview with its 20-page limit. Zero fabrications on that day is what we published, not a guarantee.
  • Customer data is stored in Frankfurt. Our AI providers process requests outside the EEA under the safeguards in our privacy policy.
  • There is no live takeover. Your representative collects contact details and emails the address you choose; a person then follows up outside the chat.
  • Vendors change their pages. Every cell was checked on 1 October 2026. If something has changed, write to privacy@predvora.com and we will correct it.

Four things you can check yourself.

  1. 01

    Your own site, before an account exists.

    Enter your address; in about a minute you are talking to your representative. Ten answers, twenty pages, no card.

  2. 02

    The test, every question, both failures.

    Thirty hard questions on a real law firm's website, grading rules fixed before the run. Read the 30 questions and every answer

  3. 03

    The first payment is refundable.

    14-day money-back guarantee on your first subscription payment, in the terms.

  4. 04

    Cancel any time.

    Self-serve from Usage & Billing, effective at the end of the paid period.

Four questions

Why is there no live chat inbox?

Because the businesses we build for are not staffing one. Your representative answers from your content day and night, and when a visitor wants to hear from you, it takes their details and emails the person you have chosen. That person follows up by phone or email, in their own time. If you want staff answering live chat, the inbox products above are built for that.

Is Predvora a chatbot?

It is an AI business representative. It does not run scripted flows or canned replies; it reads your site, answers from it, and knows when to hand over to you.

Can my whole team use it?

Yes. Unlimited users are included on every plan. Invite the people who need access; everyone works in the same dashboard, and you pay per website, not per person.

What if a fact on this page is out of date?

Tell us at privacy@predvora.com. We re-check every cell at least every three months and print the date at the top of the table.

See how it answers for your business.

Same answers, same manners as the live one. Enter your website and judge your own representative before you read another page.
