Hey PH!
I'm Akash, and I built Foxchat because I got tired of paying Intercom prices just to chat with website visitors.
Foxchat is a live chat widget that lets you reply to website chats directly from Slack. No new dashboard to learn, no per-message fees, setup takes about 5 minutes.
What makes it different:
✔️ Reply from Slack (where you already are).
✔️ AI Assist suggests replies in your Slack threads using Claude.
✔️ Add your docs as a knowledge base so AI replies stay accurate.
✔️ Transparent pricing, no surprise per-resolution charges.
I built this for developers and small teams who want Intercom-level UX without the Intercom-level bill.
Would love your feedback. Happy to answer any questions here!
I love the idea of this -- having troubles connecting though.
If a startup is already using an Intercom alternative like a basic widget or a helpdesk, what are the top 1–2 moments where Foxchat is meaningfully better and worth switching—especially considering migration risk and changing internal habits?
I’ve been analyzing a lot of AI tools recently and the biggest thing I notice is people struggle to compare them properly. Curious how you position this vs the current options.
