Olark versus melibo

Founded in 2008, Olark has seen the rise of chat software for over a decade. After getting funding from the famous YCombinator incubator Olark launched their first live chat platform.

Olark is committed to developing accessible software and is actively testing improvements in assistive technologies. It’s awesome to see a provider care about this often-overlooked aspect of customer service.

Besides live chat, Olark also markets as a customer metrics company. Since putting a widget on your platform gives you a lot of valuable data.

To ensure that every user always gets the right answer, the chatbot can transfer to a human employee at any time. This Human Handover is possible via Live Chat or E-Mail.

The German chatbot company melibo combines live chat with AI Chatbots. The chatbot is there for your customers 24/7 and answers all those repetitive questions, while your agents can focus on more critical and complex inquiries.

melibo’s primary focus still seems to be on the German market but they are shifting to a more international approach with the addition of an English version of their website. The chatbot’s learning can be done in multiple languages through DeepL Translator. The chatbot on their website only speaks German, though. 750
