Palmate is an AI chat assistant that integrates with your website. It engages from the first interaction, answers questions and guides visitors through the buying process. It is configured to reflect your brand’s voice.
The assistant works like an adviser, understanding customer needs and suggesting suitable products. Product knowledge and FAQs help it form a response relevant to what a visitor describes.
Visitor questions, communication preferences and required details can be collected within configured workflows. Conversations are routed to marketing, sales or support when a person is needed.
The assistant learns your product range and uses it to make recommendations. Product comparisons, service information and post-booking support can be addressed within one conversation.
Proactive messages can be configured for specific pages and scenarios. Campaign messages follow customer permissions and channel rules, connecting each request to the relevant workflow.
In travel and booking, Palmate can handle post-booking questions and reduce recurring call center requests. In retail categories such as perfume and cosmetics, it acts as an adviser that matches products to a customer’s stated needs.
It can be adapted for fan questions at sports clubs, retail product information and appointment requests at service businesses. Existing customer experiences are presented in context on the relevant sector pages.
The assistant is configured around existing team processes and works as part of daily operations. Its brand-voice configuration supports a consistent customer experience.
