Respond develops AI agent-powered messaging app with its customer conversation management features. The platform helps mid-to-large B2C businesses automate customer conversations across multiple messaging channels including WhatsApp, Instagram, TikTok, Messenger, Line, Telegram, WeChat, voice calls and web chat. It uses AI agents to automatically handle high volumes of customer inquiries, qualify leads and close sales without human intervention. Unlike enterprise software competitors that charge per seat, Respond charges based on the volume of customer conversations, so it doesn’t matter whether a human or an AI is answering. Respond currently more popular in APAC and Latin America countries.
