Getting started
Introduction
What AskAIs Customer Service is, and how the pieces fit together.
AskAIs Customer Service is a multi-tenant AI customer support platform. You can embed live chat in your website, mobile app, or any backend service, and let the built-in AI agent answer questions using your knowledge base. Agents take over when the AI hands off.
What you can build
- A web widget on your marketing site
- In-app chat in iOS, Android, Flutter, or React Native apps
- Bot replies in any backend service (Python, Go, Rust, etc.)
- White-labelled chat embedded into a product you resell
How it works
AskAIs Customer Service has four runtime pieces:
- Web app (Next.js) — admin inbox, settings, REST API
- WebSocket server — real-time message delivery and AI streaming
- Worker (BullMQ) — AI replies, knowledge ingestion, webhooks
- Postgres + Redis + S3 — data, queue, attachments
