| Decision point | Website Assistant | Reception AI |
|---|---|---|
| Primary purpose | A website assistant for product and service questions, page guidance, lead capture and industry-specific enquiry flows. | A front-desk platform for telephone calls, SMS, website chat, lead capture, appointments and customer follow-up. |
| The problem | Visitors can have a specific question that a generic menu cannot answer: which service fits, where a product is, or how to arrange a consultation. An assistant should help without guessing. | Calls, text messages and appointment requests often arrive in separate places. Staff need to know what was asked, what was promised and who should follow up—not simply that someone called. |
| Typical next step | Offer a consultation or send the permitted details to the team. | Save the conversation context, book or request an appointment, and notify the right person. |
| Availability | Detailed live product and integration availability awaiting confirmation | Capabilities described in product brief; live availability confirmed during onboarding |
