Frequently asked questions
- Is G.E.N.I.S.E.™ Connect a true LiveChat alternative?
- Yes. Connect covers the core LiveChat use cases — chat, inbox, AI, multilingual — and adds modern operational controls like per-workspace AI budgets and origin allowlists.
- Can I migrate from LiveChat?
- You can run Connect side-by-side while you evaluate. Conversation export and bulk article import are on the roadmap; reach out if you need help with a specific migration.
- Is Connect cheaper than LiveChat?
- For most teams under 50 agents, yes — especially because Connect doesn't charge per-resolution for AI and includes multilingual without an add-on.
