Introduction to Inquirly: What It Is and How It Works

Inquirly is an AI-powered customer support platform that helps businesses automate conversations, resolve FAQs, and manage support tickets — all from a single widget embedded on their website.

It brings together AI chat, knowledge base search, and workflow automation so your team can deliver fast, accurate, and consistent support around the clock — without scaling headcount.

What Inquirly Does

Inquirly handles the full support interaction lifecycle from the moment a customer sends a message. Here’s what happens under the hood:

AI Chat Assistant — Engages customers in natural, conversational exchanges to answer questions or guide them through a process.

Knowledge Base Integration — Pulls instant answers from your company documentation, help guides, or FAQs, without requiring a human agent.

Workflows and Forms — Collects structured inputs like names, email addresses, or file uploads to trigger business actions automatically.

Ticketing System — Converts unresolved chat sessions into support tickets for your team to pick up and resolve.

Human Handoff — Transfers the conversation to a live agent whenever the situation calls for it, without losing context.

Privacy-First by Design

Most AI chat tools route your data through third-party AI providers like external APIs. Inquirly does not.

All AI models run on Inquirly’s own secure infrastructure. That means:

  • Your business data stays private and compliant
  • No customer information is shared with or stored by external AI providers
  • You retain full control over every message, workflow, and file exchanged through the widget

This is a core part of how Inquirly is built, not an add-on or a setting.
