AI customer care, running 24 hours a day

Customer care is not only about answering the question in front of you. It is about the complaint that gets logged, the follow-up that actually happens, and the customer who never has to explain themselves twice. Replio runs that care desk for you, on every channel, without a night shift.

Customer care is more than a fast reply

A quick answer is table stakes. What separates a care desk from an auto-responder is what happens to the difficult conversations: the delayed order, the faulty item, the customer who has already messaged twice. Replio is built around those, not just the easy FAQs.

Escalation is a feature, not a failure

The most common way an AI care desk fails a customer is by refusing to let go. Replio does the opposite. When a question sits outside the knowledge base, when a customer asks for a human, or when a conversation turns into a genuine complaint, the thread is handed to your team in a live shared inbox. The AI stops replying, your agent continues in the same chat on the same channel, and the customer notices nothing except that a person arrived.

For sensitive cases that should not be discussed in an open chat, Replio can hand off to a secure ticket link instead, so account details never travel through a messaging channel.

Care in the language your customer writes in

Replio detects the language of each message and replies in it, across more than 50 languages, from a single knowledge base. Your care policy is written once. A customer writing in Arabic, Hausa, Hindi, French or Portuguese gets the same policy, correctly expressed, without a translator on staff. If your team replies in a different language from the customer, Replio translates in both directions inside the inbox. See multilingual AI customer support.

Where your care desk lives

Customers do not come to a care portal. They message you where they already are, so the care desk has to be there too.

Frequently asked questions

What is AI customer care?
AI customer care is software that handles the whole care relationship, not just the first reply: it answers questions from your own policies, records complaints, follows up, and escalates to a human when a customer needs one. Customer care covers what happens after the sale, so logging, tracking and handover matter as much as the answer itself.
Is AI customer care the same as AI customer support?
In practice the two terms are used for the same work, and Replio does both. Care tends to describe the ongoing relationship, including complaints, follow-ups and aftercare, while support often describes solving a specific problem. Replio handles the full range from one knowledge base and one shared inbox.
What happens when a customer is angry?
Replio is built to escalate rather than argue. When a conversation turns into a complaint or the customer asks for a person, the thread is logged and handed to your team in the shared inbox with the full history attached. Your agent picks it up in the same chat, so the customer never repeats their story.
Can it run our care desk in more than one language?
Yes. Replio detects each customer's language and replies in it across more than 50 languages, from one knowledge base you write once. That is useful for a care desk serving customers who write in English, Arabic, Hausa, Hindi or French in the same day.
What does it cost to run an AI care desk?
There is a free tier, a WhatsApp-only plan at $70/month, and full multi-channel plans at $150/month (Starter), $300/month (Pro) and $450/month (Business), with Enterprise available. All plans include a free 14-day trial and no card is required to begin. Local pricing is available in some markets, including naira pricing for Nigeria.
