Showing visitors around the page: does Olark 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.
Olark: Not described on the pages we checked. Olark's agent can show buttons, forms and booking links inside the chat; it does not say it points at elements on your page. The GetFoxChat AI Operator highlights the element on the page or runs a step-by-step tour.

- A/B testing of two AI assistant configurations. GetFoxChat has no A/B testing.Source: olark.com/features, checked 30 Sep 2026
- SSO in enterprise packages. GetFoxChat does not offer SSO.Source: olark.com/pricing, checked 30 Sep 2026

When is GetFoxChat not the right pick?
Pick Olark if you are a marketing team that wants an AI agent qualifying leads and routing them into HubSpot or Salesforce, with A/B tests on the agent itself. GetFoxChat is not the right pick if lead qualification and CRM routing are the main job, or if you need SSO. Pick GetFoxChat if you want website chat whose AI operator answers from your own pages and shows visitors where to click.

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.
