# Chatbase

> Chatbase is an AI agent platform for customer experience. Businesses build, deploy, and optimize AI agents that resolve customer support issues end to end — across website chat, email, WhatsApp, Slack, and voice — while also driving sales. Agents train on your own data (docs, help center, past conversations), take real actions (Shopify orders, Stripe refunds and subscriptions, scheduling, escalation to humans), and work in 95+ languages. More than 10,000 businesses run on Chatbase, including OpenAI, Siemens, PwC, Postman, Pearson, and Dolby. SOC 2 Type II audited, GDPR compliant, HIPAA-eligible on Enterprise. Self-serve plans are monthly subscriptions from $0 (Free) and $40/month (Hobby). Enterprise pricing is based on a commitment to message credits, conversations, or resolutions.
