Questions you cannot plan for
Customers ask about prices, stock, delivery, bookings. aichat looks for the answer in your sources instead of waiting for a keyword.
ManyChat alternative
A ManyChat alternative: aichat, an AI chatbot that answers from your business information.
aichat is for businesses that get many questions on WhatsApp, Instagram, Messenger, Telegram and their website. The agent answers from your documents and pages and hands the chat to a person when needed. Our team sets it up for you. It costs $49, $150 or $500 a month.
In short
Two tools made for different jobs.
ManyChat is built around marketing automation. You draw flows, trigger messages from a comment or a keyword, and send campaigns. It is very good at this, especially on Instagram.
aichat starts from a different place. A person types a question in their own words, and the agent looks for the answer in your information: prices, hours, services, terms. You do not have to plan every question in a flow.
So the right question is not which one is better. It is what you want to solve: campaigns and growth on Instagram, or good answers to customer questions on every channel.

Where it is stronger
Where ManyChat is stronger.
- Instagram automation: auto-replies to comments, keywords in messages, and stories and ads that open a chat.
- Campaigns and messages sent to a list, with segments and tags.
- A visual editor where you build your own flows, without a tech team.
- A large ecosystem of templates, tutorials and agencies that work with it.
If this is your daily work, ManyChat is probably the right choice, and we do not advise you to switch.
Where aichat fits
Where aichat fits better.
One agent on five channels
Your website, WhatsApp, Messenger, Instagram and Telegram use the same knowledge base. You change a price once, not in five flows.
Voice messages
On WhatsApp and Telegram, a customer's voice note is turned into text, and the agent answers it.
You do not build it yourself
Our team writes the agent's role, loads your information, connects the channels and tests real conversations before launch.
Romanian, Russian, English
The agent replies in the language the customer writes in: Romanian, Russian or English.
Said plainly
Who should not switch to aichat.
- Anyone whose business runs on Instagram campaigns and auto-replies to comments.
- Anyone who sends bulk WhatsApp messages. aichat does not send campaigns and does not write first.
- Anyone who wants to build and change everything alone, the same day, in a visual editor.
