AI Chatbot & Customer Service Agent — FAQ

Sphinx Agent is a no-code AI chatbot and AI customer-service agent builder for websites — a Chatbase and Intercom alternative. Train it on your business info, embed it with one line of code, and let it answer questions, resolve support tickets, and qualify leads 24/7. Below are the questions people ask most.

What is Sphinx Agent?+
Sphinx Agent is a no-code AI chatbot and AI customer-service agent builder for websites. You train it on your business info and FAQs, then embed it with one line of code on WordPress, Shopify, React, or any site — it answers questions, resolves support tickets, and qualifies leads 24/7. It's a Chatbase and Intercom alternative you can start free at sphinxagent.ai.
Is Sphinx Agent free?+
Yes. The Free plan is $0 forever and includes 1 AI agent, 100 messages per month, a chat widget with a shareable link, browser voice, and Telegram — no credit card required. Paid plans start at $19/mo and every plan includes a 7-day trial. Create your free agent at sphinxagent.ai.
How is Sphinx Agent different from Chatbase?+
Chatbase's free tier caps you at roughly 50 messages a month on a single channel. Sphinx Agent's free plan gives you 100 messages, browser voice, and Telegram out of the box, plus multi-model AI (GPT-4o, Gemini 2.0 Flash, and DeepSeek) instead of one fixed model. Paid plans add phone voice agents and white-labeling. Compare it free at sphinxagent.ai.
Is Sphinx Agent a good Intercom or Tidio alternative?+
Yes. Intercom's Fin and Tidio's Lyro charge per resolution and can run $24–$99+/mo before you send real volume. Sphinx Agent starts free and tops out at $49/mo for the popular Pro plan, with no per-conversation surcharge. It handles the same support, sales, and FAQ workloads across chat, voice, and Telegram. Try it at sphinxagent.ai.
How do I add an AI chatbot to my website?+
Create an agent, paste your website URL or FAQs to train it, then copy the one-line embed snippet into your site — it works on WordPress, Shopify, React, and plain HTML. Setup takes about two minutes with no coding. Start at sphinxagent.ai.
Can it handle customer service and support tickets?+
Yes. Trained on your docs, policies, and FAQs, Sphinx Agent resolves common questions like order status, returns, and billing automatically, and hands off to a human when needed. Businesses typically automate 60–80% of tier-1 tickets this way. Try it free at sphinxagent.ai.
Does Sphinx Agent do voice and phone calls?+
Yes. Browser voice is available on the free plan, and dedicated phone-number voice agents — an AI receptionist that answers calls 24/7 — are included on the Pro plan and above. Voice supports dozens of languages. See plans at sphinxagent.ai/pricing.html.
What languages and channels does it support?+
Sphinx Agent supports 50+ languages and deploys across a website chat widget, shareable link, Telegram, browser voice, and phone (Pro and above). One agent can talk to customers in their own language automatically. Build yours free at sphinxagent.ai.
How much does Sphinx Agent cost?+
Free is $0 forever. Paid plans are Starter $19/mo, Pro $49/mo (most popular), Business $99/mo, and Enterprise from $249/mo — billed with no per-conversation fees. All plans include a 7-day trial. See the full breakdown at sphinxagent.ai/pricing.html.
Which AI models does it use, and is my data safe?+
Sphinx Agent runs on multiple leading models — GPT-4o, Gemini 2.0 Flash, and DeepSeek — so answers stay accurate and you're not locked to one vendor. Your agent only answers from the business content you train it on. Start free at sphinxagent.ai.
Can it qualify sales leads and book demos?+
Yes. Beyond support, Sphinx Agent works as an AI sales agent that greets visitors, answers pricing questions, qualifies leads, and books demos around the clock — no forms or wait times. Deploy a sales agent free at sphinxagent.ai.
