What Is AeroChat? Chat Infrastructure for Websites & Social Media, Explained

By AeroChat 7 min read August 20, 2025 Updated October 25, 2026

Customers want quick replies and simple solutions. No one likes waiting hours for an answer. AeroChat helps businesses by handling website chats and social media messages in one place, so customers get a fast, useful reply wherever they write to you.

AeroChat is more than a chatbot that answers questions. It runs the customer service and sales work behind those conversations, such as checking an order, recommending a product or booking an appointment. That saves your team time and gives customers a better experience.

What Is AeroChat?

AeroChat is a chat infrastructure that lets you run your customer service and sales workflows on autopilot. You just describe the workflow you want automated, and the system translates it into a set of instructions and runs it. It also connects to your own data systems and backend processes, so it can perform actions, not just answer questions.

In practice, a customer asks on WhatsApp where their order is, and AeroChat checks the order in your store and replies with the status. A shopper asks at 11pm which product suits them, and AeroChat recommends one from your catalogue and can send a payment link. You set the limits, such as refund amounts, discounts and when to hand over to a person.

Why Businesses Need One System for Website and Social Chats

Today’s customers are active on multiple channels. They might:

Managing all these channels by hand takes a lot of time. AeroChat runs the same workflows on every channel and shows every conversation in a single dashboard.

How AeroChat Uses Your Business Information

Customers want correct answers they can trust, not just fast ones. AeroChat answers from your own information instead of pre-written scripts:

  • It reads your content. Your website, FAQs, policies, product details and internal guides.

  • It checks live data. Stock, prices and order status come from your connected store, not from a copy that goes out of date.

  • It asks when unsure. It breaks multi-part questions down, asks a clarifying question when needed, and hands over to your team when a question needs a person.

  • It stays consistent. Your chat, website and staff give the same answer, because they all use the same information.
