AI sales agent for your website: what it is, what it does, what it costs
In short
An AI sales agent is software that talks to the visitors of a website the way a good salesperson would: it answers their questions, finds out what they need, checks whether they are a fit, shows a price when they ask, and gets them to the next step, a call, a quote request, a trial or a checkout. Unlike a support chatbot, it is measured on leads and bookings, not on tickets closed.

What an AI sales agent does on a website
A visitor arrives with a question. The agent turns that question into a conversation with a goal:
- Answers from your own pages: services, prices you publish, process, guarantees, areas served.
- Qualifies: need, size of the project, timing, budget range, in a natural order.
- Shows a number: a price range for quote-based businesses, an ROI estimate for B2B software.
- Moves to a next step: booking link, callback request, WhatsApp, checkout or sign-up.
- Hands over: you receive the contact and a summary of the conversation.
Who needs one
Any business whose website gets visits but too few requests, and whose visitors ask the same questions before they buy: contractors and home services, clinics, agencies, SaaS pricing pages, training providers, real estate, professional services. See the pages by business type for concrete examples.
How to set one up
With Brift, you paste your website address: the agent reads your pages and is ready in about a minute. You review its answers, add your price ranges and the questions you want asked, then paste one line of code on your site (WordPress, Shopify, Wix, Webflow and others have step-by-step guides).
What an AI sales agent costs
Four pricing models exist: a flat monthly plan (Brift, $79/month with unlimited conversations), per resolved conversation (Intercom Fin), per message or credit (Chatbase and similar), and custom enterprise contracts (Qualified). The best AI sales agents comparison lists each price with its source.
AI sales agent vs chatbot vs live chat
| AI sales agent | FAQ chatbot | Live chat | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Goal | A qualified lead or booking | An answered question | A conversation with your team |
| Available at night | Yes | Yes | Only if someone is online |
| Asks qualifying questions | Yes, in context | Rarely | If the person thinks of it |
| Gives a price range | Yes, from your rates | Only prices written on the site | Yes, if the person knows |
| Setup | From your website URL | Knowledge base or scripted flows | Staff and schedules |
When Brift is not the right fit
- You need a support desk for existing customers (tickets, SLAs, help center): a support tool fits better.
- Your website gets almost no traffic: start with visibility, the agent converts visits it receives.
- Every sale needs a firm, line-item quote generated in the chat: use quoting software; an agent gives ranges.
Frequently asked questions
Is an AI sales agent the same as a chatbot?
No. A chatbot answers questions; a sales agent has a goal and leads the conversation to a qualified next step.
Will it make things up?
Brift answers from your website and the notes you add. When it does not know, it offers to put the visitor in touch with you.
Does it replace my sales team?
It handles the first conversation at any hour and hands over qualified leads. Your team runs the calls and closes.
How much does Brift cost?
$79 per month after a 7-day free trial, with unlimited conversations.
