❓ Frequently Asked Questions

자주 묻는 질문

What is the difference between live chat and chatbots?

Live chat connects customers with human agents in real-time, while chatbots use AI to automate responses. Many platforms combine both, with bots handling simple queries and escalating complex issues to humans.

How many chats can one agent handle simultaneously?

Most agents can effectively handle 3-5 simultaneous chats depending on complexity. Average concurrency of 3-4 chats is typical for maintaining quality support.

Should I use proactive or reactive chat?

Both approaches have value. Proactive chat can boost conversions but may annoy some visitors. Use behavioral triggers and test to find the right balance for your audience.
