Automation, AI, and your team have different roles
Automation handles predictable steps, an AI Customer Agent continues supported customer conversations, and your team remains in control through the Unified Inbox.
Dealism at a glance
Dealism is an AI messaging product for small businesses. It combines automated conversation flows, AI Customer Agents, business knowledge, and a Unified Inbox for supported Instagram, WhatsApp, and Live Chat conversations.
A predictable customer action can start an automation. When the conversation becomes open-ended, a trained AI Customer Agent can answer from approved business information, ask useful follow-up questions, and guide the customer toward a next step. Your team can monitor the same conversation and take over when human judgment is needed.
How the product fits together
Automation handles a trigger and the fixed next step you configure, such as sending a private message after an eligible Instagram comment.
AI Customer Agents continue supported conversations using the role, objective, tone, knowledge, and boundaries you provide.
Knowledge gives the Agent approved information about your products, services, prices, policies, FAQs, and customer use cases.
Unified Inbox keeps supported channel conversations visible so AI and people can work from the same thread.
DealOnca is the built-in assistant for your team. It helps prepare Agent training, structure knowledge, and summarize conversations inside Dealism.
DealOnca and an AI Customer Agent are not the same. Your customer talks to the selected AI Customer Agent; your team works with DealOnca behind the conversation.
