Overview
Hobbes creates an on-site AI product agent that lives on a company’s website and lets visitors explore the product through natural conversation. The agent answers questions, demonstrates features in real time without scheduling a discovery call, and also helps with onboarding, sales, and enablement. It runs by hosting an AI assistant on the site that users can chat with, understand questions, and show live demos while guiding visitors through setup and purchasing steps. Its goal is to reduce friction in product discovery and onboarding, speed up conversions, and help teams scale customer enablement through an continuously improving on-site assistant.
