What do you like best about Gist?

The platform itself is easy to use, and more affordable when comparing to its competitors. We can have a live chat, email marketing, chatbots, forms on all on a one platform, crazy, right? It does everything for us, from customer support to marketing. And it is good to have all these options under the same platform, so we don't have to login to other platforms for different use cases. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Gist?

The animations of the Chatbox could improved much, the animations are not good at the moment, also the widget is not working on some scenarios, which have reported by our users. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Gist solving and how is that benefiting you?

We use Gist to provide Live Chat support to our users so far, and we have a knowledgebase created with Gist, which is working well. And sometimes we use Forms, and Surveys. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Knowledge base portal, Live chat and self service customer support using AI, which is the new trend now that would benefit a lot of startups on their customer support overload. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Gist solving and how is that benefiting you?

Offering support in my blogs. My visitors have the chance to contact directly with messenger and when I'm not available they can leave me a message or search in my knoledge base. Before Gist I received a lot of emails asking quick questions or let me know that they didn't find an information, the time between emails was really long and my visitors ended goign to another website, now I have the solution fast and ready, so they are happy and keep retuning for more content.

What do you dislike about Gist?

GIST menus are a little bit difficult to navigate, especially the bot menus. Sometimes I get a little lost when trying to find the BOT that I created. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Gist solving and how is that benefiting you?

Prior to using GIST, customers wouldnt be able to quickly leave their email address with us. Instead, they would have to fill out a form on our contact us page. Now, our potential clients can leave their email address with our chatBot, and then we can organise a meeting at our clients convenience to go over the project.

i would say it was a lack of sales pipeline, but that has now been added and is in beta, so we have brought that into our system. It now does everything we wanted. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We have Infusionsoft but we were getting bogged down in basic bulk email communications and prospecting - and the larger CRM is so complicated. GIst makes it easy Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
