An Open Source Android SDK for enabling AI Agent and Live Chat into your Android App
Kommunicate provides an open source chat SDK in android. The Kommunicate SDK is flexible, lightweight and easily integrable. It lets you easily add real-time AI agent, live chat, and in-app messaging in your Android app. The SDK is equipped with advanced messaging options such as sending attachments, sharing location and rich messaging.
Kommunicate SDK lets you integrate custom AI agents in your mobile apps for automating tasks. It comes with multiple features to make it a full-fledged customer support SDK.
Kommunicate also includes a built-in human-in-the-loop support system. When an AI agent is unable to understand or resolve a customer query, it can seamlessly escalate the conversation to a live support agent. Human agents can then continue the conversation directly from the Kommunicate platform.
In addition, Kommunicate unifies customer conversations from websites, email, voice, and messaging channels such as WhatsApp, Telegram, Instagram, Viber, and LINE into a single platform, enabling better team collaboration, faster response times, and more efficient issue resolution.
To get started with Kommunicate Android SDK, head over to the Kommunicate website and Signup to get your Application ID.
Kompose is a no-code AI agent builder that helps businesses build and deploy customer support AI agents across chat, email, and voice channels. Creating an AI agent with Kompose requires no coding skills, simply upload your training materials and provide clear instructions on how the agent should respond and behave.
The Kommunicate platform includes a feature-rich chat widget with capabilities such as:
- File and attachment sharing
- Voice AI interactions
- Lead capture forms
- Rich messaging experiences
- Location sharing
- Human agent handoff
- Conversation analytics and reporting
Kommunicate also provides detailed insights into AI agent performance, helping teams identify unanswered queries, optimize responses, and continuously improve automation. When required, conversations can be seamlessly transferred from the AI agent to a human support representative, ensuring customers always receive the assistance they need. All conversations are centrally managed within the Kommunicate platform, allowing support teams to monitor, respond to, and track customer interactions efficiently.
