The Problem With Tidio

Where Tidio Falls Short

Tidio was built for the past. BotDesk delivers the AI-native speed, flexibility, and automation modern teams need to delight their customers.

Limited "Lyro" AI

Tidios AI Lyro often struggles with context and nuanced questions, leading to customer frustration for your entire support team today.

Rigid Flow Builder

Building chatbots in Tidio requires visually connecting nodes. It gets messy fast and is hard for your entire support team today now.

Lack of Real Actions

Tidio can collect emails, but can it generate a refund in Stripe natively? Barely. BotDesk does it for your entire support team today now.
