What the AI assistant costs


The AI assistant is billed by use, on every channel, as AI chat usage on your monthly TourTask invoice. The Assistant model you pick sets the Cost per message, and a Monthly spend limit caps the month. Building the knowledge base is free.

For the price of TourTask itself, see pricing.

Questions we get asked


By default, yes: in Website chat, they give their name, e-mail and phone before the first message. Turn off Ask for contact details first under Customer relations → Website chat → Settings to let them write straight away. The assistant then asks for an e-mail only when it needs one.

No. It makes the booking and shares its link, where the traveller pays with your online payments. A booking that needs your confirmation can be paid once you confirm it.

Yes, in Website chat: turn off Enable AI website chat support and keep Enable human website-chat support on. On the other channels, the assistant always answers first, and Take over lets you reply.

No. The assistant's replies go out at once; you step in by taking over the conversation.

No. On WhatsApp, Messenger and Instagram, your reply reaches the customer only within 24 hours of their last message. Telegram has no such limit.

No. Website chat also appears on your TourTask-hosted booking page, and the other channels need no website. Website chat does not appear on your TourTask website.
