AI-powered customer conversation platform for B2C messaging at scale
Bring WhatsApp, TikTok, Instagram, Facebook, Telegram, email and web chat into one shared inbox so no customer thread gets lost between apps.
AI agents qualify leads, answer routine questions, route to the right teammate and follow up automatically when conversations go quiet.
Track tags, custom fields, lead status and lifecycle stage per contact, and move deals through a pipeline without a separate CRM.
Reach thousands of customers with one message, and capture new leads directly from social ads and website links.

Run and scale durable AI agents on your own infrastructure
Every Actor gets a SQLite database and a filesystem, so an agent's memory and progress survive restarts and idle periods without a separate database.
Run untrusted or AI-generated code on your own infrastructure with fine-grained control over network access, filesystem permissions, and resource limits.
A node failure reschedules its Actors elsewhere with state intact, and multi-step work replays after a crash — with no checkpointing harness to build yourself.
Address an Actor directly over HTTP or hold a live WebSocket, and use the React SDK to subscribe components to an Actor's state in real time.
