About SimplyBoost

SimplyBoost is an AI agent for customer support and lead generation. You add your website, documents and FAQs, and the agent answers customer questions from that content on your website, WhatsApp and Instagram. When a question needs a person, it hands the conversation to your team.

SimplyBoost works on three channels: the chat widget on your website, WhatsApp through Meta's official WhatsApp Business Platform, and Instagram DMs. One agent and one knowledge base answer on all of them.

Yes. The chat on this website runs on SimplyBoost, so you can try the agent right now. Ask it anything, or ask it to book a demo with our team. You can also start a 7-day free trial with 100 AI replies and test it on your own content.

No. SimplyBoost takes the questions that come in again and again, like opening hours, shipping and prices, and passes the rest to your people. Complaints, refunds and anything the agent can't answer from your content go to your team by email, in the dashboard, in Slack or as a Zendesk, Freshdesk or Gorgias ticket.

During a chat the agent can ask for a name, email, phone number and company, and you choose which of them are required. Each lead is scored hot, warm or cold, and you can export your leads to CSV at any time.

SimplyBoost suits most businesses that answer the same customer questions often: online stores, clinics, estate agents, restaurants, education consultants and service businesses. If your answers are written down on your website or in documents, the agent can learn them.

Training your agent

Open the knowledge base in your SimplyBoost dashboard and add your sources: a website (the whole site, a single page or your sitemap), files, text snippets or question-and-answer pairs. The agent answers only from those sources. The Missing answers tab shows questions it couldn't answer, so you can add the answer and close the gap.

You can train SimplyBoost on web pages, PDF files (including scanned PDFs, which are read with OCR), Word files (.docx), plain text and CSV files, images (PNG, JPG, WEBP, GIF and BMP), typed text snippets and Q&A pairs. If you connect Shopify, your store's policies, shop details and pages are imported too.

Yes. In the knowledge base, choose Text to paste policies, product notes or any other text, or choose Q&A to add a question with its exact answer. Both work without a website or a single file.

Yes. You can upload PDF, Word (.docx), text, CSV and image files to the knowledge base, up to 50 MB per file. There is no limit on the number of files.

Split the file into smaller parts of up to 50 MB each and upload them separately; the agent reads them together as one knowledge base. If the same content is on your website, you can also add those pages instead of the file.

Usually a minute or two. Each source shows Processing until it is Ready, with an estimated ready time. Text, Q&A pairs and small files are ready within about a minute, and a website of a few hundred pages takes a few minutes.

Your Shopify store syncs automatically, weekly by default, and you can set it to daily, every two weeks or monthly, or press Sync now. Website pages are read when you add them, so after a larger change to your site, add the changed pages again and the agent uses the new version.

A page is one web page on your site, one URL. Each website source reads up to 150 pages on Starter, 500 on Growth and 1,500 on Pro, and you can add more website sources for larger sites. Files, text snippets and Q&A pairs are counted separately and don't use pages.

Yes. SimplyBoost can learn from content in any language, and by default the agent replies in the language the customer writes in, so a Dutch website can answer French or German visitors in their own language. You can also fix the reply language to English, Spanish, French, German or Dutch.

Adding it to your website

Copy the snippet from Channels, then Website chat widget, in your SimplyBoost dashboard and paste it into your site. There are also guides for WordPress (plugin), Shopify (app embed), Wix, Squarespace, Webflow, Google Tag Manager, React, Next.js and Vue.

Installing the widget takes a few minutes, and most businesses have a first version answering questions the same day. Connecting WhatsApp or Instagram takes a few more minutes through Meta's own sign-up window.

Yes. You can place the same agent's snippet on as many websites as you like. Each account can run up to 3 active agents, for example one for each brand with its own knowledge and style.

Plans and limits

There is no permanent free plan, but every account starts with a 7-day free trial with 100 AI replies. If you need more time, you can extend the trial once by another 7 days. After that, plans start at €39 a month.

Yes, each plan includes a monthly allowance of AI replies: 500 on Starter, 2,000 on Growth and 6,000 on Pro. The allowance resets every month, and you get an email at 80% and at 100%. For more than 6,000 replies a month we set up a custom plan with a dedicated account manager.

It is the number of replies the agent sends in a month, across your website, WhatsApp and Instagram. One reply counts as one, however long the conversation. Automated Instagram comment-to-DM messages count too, and replies written by your team never count.

The agent pauses its replies until your allowance resets next month, and visitors see a short notice. You can upgrade at any time to keep it answering. There are no surprise overage charges.

Agencies, integrations and branding

Yes, through the SimplyBoost partner program. Agencies and resellers set up and run AI agents for their clients, optionally under their own brand, and referral partners earn a commission on the customers they send us. Apply on the partner page at simplyboost.io/partners and we agree the terms with you.

Start with Actions and webhooks, which let the agent call your own systems during a chat, with ready templates for HubSpot, Zendesk, Salesforce, Slack, Stripe and Google Sheets. If that doesn't cover it, email us what you need and we'll look at it with you.

Yes, for larger companies. With white-label the chat carries your own name and logo, and your customers see no SimplyBoost branding. It is an enterprise arrangement agreed with our team; see simplyboost.io/white-label. On the standard plans the widget shows a small Powered by SimplyBoost link, and everything else is yours to set: colours, font, logo, chat icon, position, welcome message and starter questions.
