Commslayer has been a massive time saver. It allowed me to retire my virtual assistant and finally tame my inbox. Customer service via email used to be a miserable grind, where things slipped through the cracks no matter how much I tried to systematize it. Now, it feels like the inbox works for me, not the other way around.
I do have two quibbles—not dealbreakers, but worth mentioning in the spirit of improvement:
1. Sending bug on iPhone. Whether I save Commslayer to my home screen, use Safari, or use Chrome, I sometimes hit a wall when pasting content from outside sources (usually ChatGPT or our website, when Commslayer hasn’t been trained on something yet, i will paste a response from an FAQ or paste multiple sources into GPT to help me make it coherent more efficiently). The “Send” button just refuses to cooperate until I refresh, re-paste, and try again. It’s not catastrophic, but it’s a persistent snag.
2. Knowledge base input. I previously used another AI chat that had 95% of my answers down—but it couldn’t touch email. Moving that data into Commslayer has been the real bottleneck. Adding knowledge one piece at a time is SLOW. What I want is bulk import, or better yet: the ability to dump in raw data and have Commslayer draft structured articles I can refine. Right now, the manual work is slowing my rollout of full automation.
That said, these issues aside, Commslayer is a must-have if you deal with a high volume of emails and chats. ZipChat got me partway there, but it stopped at chat and handed everything else off to email. At one point, my VA was literally pasting chat responses into emails for customers—which, frankly, was genius on her part, but a waste of money on mine.
I even tried signing up for Gorgias, but they insisted on scheduling a kickoff call before I could touch the product. I’m sure they had their reasons, but in my world, if I need a 30-minute discovery call just to try your software, I’m out. Commslayer, on the other hand, let me dive right in. No friction. No hand-holding and it works great.
