Everything Tidio Does Is One Feature Inside Teammates

Tidio gives you a chat widget. Teammates gives you an AI workforce. Raya handles customer service across 8+ channels with 90%+ autonomous resolution. Adam qualifies leads and books meetings via outbound calls. Sara screens candidates with AI interviews. All three share memory and context. Tidio charges extra for AI ($39/mo for Lyro), limits you to website chat, and caps AI conversations. Teammates includes everything from $25/mo with unlimited AI across all channels.
