From Chatbot to AI Agent: What Agently Does Differently
Alexa Chung
June 10, 2024
Let’s clear something up:
Agently is not a chatbot.
Chatbots are scripted.
Rigid.
Predictable.
Frustrating.
And often make customers feel like they’re talking to a machine.
AI Agents, on the other hand, are built to think.
Here’s what makes Agently different:
1. Agently Understands Meaning, Not Keywords
Chatbots look for keywords.
AI Agents understand intent.
If someone says:
“Do you guys have this in a smaller size?”
A chatbot might fail unless the exact phrase is pre-written.
Agently interprets it correctly, checks context, and responds naturally.
2. Agently Adapts to Tone
Your brand can sound:
friendly, professional, warm, energetic — Agently adjusts automatically.
No stiff, robotic answers.
3. Agently Can Perform Actions, Not Just Respond
It can:
route conversations
qualify leads
schedule reminders
send follow-ups
check order details
tag customers
summarize chats
alert your team
Chatbots don’t do this.
They just… answer.
4. Agently Learns Over Time
The more you use it, the smarter it becomes.
It learns your customers.
Your style.
Your workflows.
Your business patterns.
It grows with you.
5. Agently Knows When to Hand Off to a Human
Unlike old chatbots that never give up, Agently gracefully transfers chats with full context.
Customers feel supported instead of trapped.
AI Agents represent the next generation of customer communication — and Agently is built to lead that shift.
If you're still relying on outdated bots, you’re leaving customer satisfaction (and revenue) on the table.
