Moving from Plain

From sign-up to answering, in four steps

No developer needed. The assistant learns from what you have already written, and your team keeps working where it works now.

  1. Point it at your docs

    Give EzyConn your public help centre or website. It finds the linked pages, you keep the ones you want, and it reads them.

  2. Add files and exact answers

    Upload PDF, Word, plain text, Markdown or CSV files, and write exact questions and answers for the replies that must be word for word.

  3. Paste one snippet

    Add the EzyConn script snippet to your site. The chat goes live with the AI agent answering from what you gave it.

  4. Choose where your team replies

    Reply from the shared inbox or from Slack threads that reach the customer. Hand-overs route manually, by round robin, to the least busy or to the most recently active teammate.
