What HelperAgent actually does

Your team handles the work.
HelperAgent handles what they can't.

No one on your team is available at 11pm when a customer has a question. HelperAgent covers the gaps your people can't - so when your team shows up in the morning, the bookings are already there.

Without HelperAgent With HelperAgent
Customer texts at 9pm asking about availability Sees it tomorrow morning - too late ✓ Answered instantly, appointment booked
Phone rings while staff are with customers Missed call, voicemail nobody checks ✓ Chat widget captures the lead
Customer asks a question in Somali or Hmong No one available to help ✓ Answered in their language, automatically
Appointment reminder follow-ups Manual, inconsistent, gets skipped ✓ Sent automatically 24hr and 2hr before
Asking customers for a Google review Awkward, rarely happens ✓ Sent 2 hours after every visit
Returning customer walks in Staff may or may not remember them ✓ Agent greets them by name, knows their history
Customer is frustrated in chat Nobody sees it until Monday ✓ You get an SMS alert immediately
Busiest time of day, multiple inquiries at once Some wait, some give up ✓ All handled simultaneously, nobody waits
Your staff's time Spent answering the same questions repeatedly ✓ Freed up for the work only humans can do
14-day free trial ✕ ✓
HelperAgent works alongside your team - not instead of them. It handles the questions, bookings, and follow-ups that fall through the cracks after hours, during rush, and across language barriers. Your people focus on your customers.
FAQ

Honest answers

Do I need to be technical to use this?
No. You fill out a form, we handle everything. The only "tech" task is pasting one line of code into your website - and we'll walk you through it if needed.
What if the agent says something wrong?
Your agent only says what's in your knowledge base. If it gets a question it can't answer confidently, it flags it and captures the customer's contact info for follow-up. You approve all knowledge base updates before they go live.
Can I update what the agent knows?
Yes - directly from your dashboard. Submit a new Q&A or policy, it goes into a review queue, and once approved it's live immediately. Your agent gets smarter over time.
What happens when a customer asks something the agent can't handle?
The agent collects their name and contact info, lets them know someone will be in touch, and flags the conversation for you. No customer gets left hanging.
How does the free trial work?
Sign up for Starter and your agent goes live within 24 hours - no setup fee charged. Use it for 14 days. If you want to keep it, the $750 setup fee is charged on day 15 and your $250/month billing starts. If it's not right for you, cancel any time before day 15 and you pay nothing. No awkward conversations, no hidden fees.
Is there a contract?
No long-term contract. Monthly, cancel with 30 days notice. The setup fee covers the build work - the retainer keeps it running, updated, and monitored.
What happens to my customers' data?
Your customers' conversation data belongs to you - we store it on your behalf and never sell it, share it with advertisers, or use it to train AI. The full details are in our Privacy & Data policy - written in plain language, no legalese.
Who is behind HelperAgent?
A Saint Paul-based operator with 8 years in workforce development, recruiting, and community outreach. This is built for the businesses I grew up around - not for Fortune 500 companies.
