AI SDR for chat - autonomously run the website conversation, qualify, and hand off to native routing/booking
Taylor Jennings
Buyers increasingly expect an AI agent that runs the website chat, not just AI nodes inside a scripted flow. An AI SDR fully manages the conversation, pre-qualifies interactively, and involves a human only when the visitor is ready.
Requested capability: an AI SDR that lives in ChiliChat and can:
- Autonomously manage the full website chat conversation (a Drift/Qualified/OneMind chatbot replacement), not just answer from a knowledge base.
- Conduct interactive, multi-turn qualification that feels human and outperforms static forms, reducing reliance on human SDRs/BDRs.
- Produce a lead-qualifying score that can be passed into routing.
- Handle multiple languages (e.g. French, German, Japanese) and route to language-matched reps.
- When the visitor wants a human or a meeting, natively trigger Chili Piper routing and booking, time-zone aware and truncated to reps' real working-hours availability, potentially bypassing BDR/SDR straight to an AE.
