ChatGPT vs. Smith.ai

I’d definitely recommend ChatGPT to anyone as a great introduction to generative AI and as a starting point in research, writing, brainstorming, or general questions or judgement questions. It can be a great tool to use when you don’t necessarily need an accurate answer. For example, I wouldn’t let it calculate my taxes, but I’d use it to ask some general tax questions, then ask for sources and then verify by checking those sources. I also love ChatGPT for writing and questions - it’s great for emails, creating templates and outlines, and for generating spreadsheet formulas.

Their chat monitoring is useful to anyone who wants to provide fast communication to prospects. I see so many companies with horrible response times for their chats. They are very professional and helped me create scripts that help them convert more leads. It is basically a virtual sales team. Their phone service saves companies time on wasted calls and fills in when they can't answer the phone. They say that over 50% of leads are never followed up because of a poor phone strategy. Smith.ai Live Website Chat fixes this

• Saves time by generating content about a specific topic very quickly
• Allows us to quickly learn information online (from various sources or even a single lengthy article) into more summed up digestible paragraphs (and even bullet points)
• Can autogenerate content on a vast amount of topics

• Smith.ai Live Website Chat agents are immediately available to address questions and collect information from new clients.
• The agents are warm and personable.
• In addition to collecting a new lead's contact information and case details, the chat agents also collect referral sources.

• Wish it had support for better slides generation. Sometimes we found ourselves using chatgpt to outline a presentation but build it ourselves or use a tool like Gamma
• Maybe a chepear $10 plan. In some countries the US dollar can be expensive and $20 goes a long way.
• I wish you could make projects with more files. They limit it. Or make the limit based on the content, not the number of files per se

• I have not seen any area for improvement. These people have a great service backed by an even better level of support.

ChatGPT is a powerful assistant. As long as you understand what it is you're looking for in its results, it can save you a lot of time due to its ability to do the heavy lifting for you. This frees your time up to enable you to concentrate on other tasks.

Most of the time is up. Seldom do you find a down service. It also has improved in token generation (the speed at which it prints answers) so it's usability is pretty much great all the time. Images do take a bit to generate but nothing that breaks anything. New additions like Projects, custom prompts, and some privacy settings improve experience

Smith.ai Live Website Chat allows you to provide a script for when they answer prospective clients. The script is customizable as your needs change. However, the script only goes so far, as they do not know your business personally. Once they do go through that script, they send you an email with the caller's contact information so you can reach out personally if they seem interested. They do so with efficiency.

Their responses are always professional , although they delay sometimes

Smith.ai pays for itself if we can help one site visitor move down our lead funnel to being a client. We have averaged over 50+ new leads each month since implementing the chat and with a close rate for becoming new clients that is double what our advertising PPC new client closing rate has been.

Where ChatGPT is better: ChatGPT has significantly more use cases - it's much more versatile. Some aspects of ChatGPT's user experience are better than Claude's. I prefer ChatGPT's results presentation compared to Claude's. Where Claude excels: Claude is a more skilled writer than ChatGPT. Some aspects of Claude's user experience are better than ChatGPT's. Its image, audio, and video translations are better than ChatGPT's.

I have priced services with Ngage and Apex Chat. Smith.ai is more cost-efficient than these competitors. Most services charge a very high per qualified lead basis. Sometimes $35 or higher per lead. Considering that not all qualified leads convert, client acquisition costs can still be very high. Smith.ai only charges approximately $8 live chat sessions with low monthly flat rates. A completely automated chatbot is even less per month, and in some instances free.

• Positive: Speeds up research time (freeing up 1-2 hours per day)
• Positive: Provides complex content in digestible formats
• Positive: Allows us to get super granular, including asking it coding questions
• Positive: Allows us to ask learning-style questions where it can further break something down for us

• Positive - Smith.ai has easily saved me $25k+ in receptionist costs. They probably helped me land another $50k in new business I would otherwise not have brought in the door because they immediately grabbed the client on our website so they didn't get away or have to wait 2 days for a call back. Great ROI (100 to 1 ROI is probably not an exaggeration for my law firm).
