GetFoxChat vs JivoChat
As of October 26, 2026, JivoChat brings live chat, social media, messengers and phone calls into one place (JivoChat's own page, September 30, 2026). The GetFoxChat AI Operator does the showing itself: it highlights the element on the page or runs a step-by-step tour, with no one from your team online.

Showing visitors around the page: does JivoChat do it?
GetFoxChat: When the answer is a button, link or field on the page, the operator scrolls to it and draws a ring around it with a short note, instead of describing where it is. For a task with several steps, the operator runs a guided tour: step 1 of N with Next and Skip, moving on when the visitor clicks the highlighted element.
JivoChat: Partly. JivoChat offers video calls in the chat, so a person on your team can show a customer something. The GetFoxChat AI Operator does the showing itself: it highlights the element on the page or runs a step-by-step tour, with no one from your team online.

When is GetFoxChat not the right pick?
Pick JivoChat if you sell and support across WhatsApp, Instagram, Telegram, email and phone and want all of it in one app, with video calls.

What the GetFoxChat AI Operator does on your site
The GetFoxChat AI Operator (that you name as you like) is website chat that answers from your own content.
- Learns from your own site. It reads your site's public pages to build its knowledge base, and can import published help-center articles from Zendesk, Intercom, Crisp, Help Scout and Freshdesk, or a CSV file.
- Visitor goals. You list why visitors come to your site (buy, book a demo, get support). The operator recognizes the goal from the pages a visitor views and what they click, can offer the first step, such as a tour, and you see how many reached the goal.
- A person when it matters. Visitors can press Talk to a person, and your team replies from the GetFoxChat inbox.
Tested every week, results published
Every week the operator is asked real questions on our own sites, and each answer is checked: that it answered, that it gave the right link, and that it pointed at the right button or started the right tour. Latest complete run, 13 October 2026: 90 of 148 questions passed across 4 sites. These are our own four sites. More than half of the misses in that run were how-to questions that should have started a step-by-step tour; the proof page shows every answer, misses included.
