Text (Text.com) is the platform brand that brings together the company's customer service products: an AI Agent, live chat (LiveChat), a help desk (HelpDesk), a shared inbox, and the ChatBot builder. The idea is to turn the conversations a support team already has into revenue. The AI Agent answers questions, spots buying signals, and sells through a live Shopify catalog with cart recovery campaigns, a checkout chat widget, proactive chat invitations, and buying-intent detection, while an AI Copilot helps human agents with reply suggestions, text edits, chat and ticket summaries, tag suggestions, and chat topics. Skills, tone of voice, multilingual replies, a knowledge base, and human takeover keep it controllable. It connects to Shopify, WordPress, WooCommerce, Webflow, Adobe Commerce, and BigCommerce, offers a Text API and a Text MCP that plugs it into any AI assistant, desktop and mobile apps, and SOC 2 Type 2 security. The company says it has 20+ years in customer service and 30,000+ teams; customer revenue figures on its site are the company's own reported case studies.

Ecommerce stores and support teams, especially on Shopify, that want an AI Agent, live chat, and a help desk on one platform and want support conversations to drive sales

Pros

  • Includes a Text API and MCP, desktop and mobile apps, and SOC 2 Type 2 security

Cons

  • Essential includes only 10 AI resolutions a month and Growth 200, so higher volumes need extra resolution packages at $49.50 per 50
  • Priced per user each month, and the jump from $19 to $79 per user is large
  • Revenue claims on the site, such as 266% higher conversion rates, are company-reported results from its own customers, so treat them as marketing figures
