AI support that actually escalates.
It answers from your docs, hands off to a human the moment it can't, and threads every reply through email — so no customer is left talking to a wall, and nothing lands in a black hole.
The handoff
Answers when it can. Hands off when it can't.
The agent only speaks from your knowledge base. The moment a conversation needs a person, it lands in your inbox — full context, nothing lost.
From zero to live
One script tag. About five minutes.
- Step 01
Create a project
Sign up, name your bot, and grab your public key. A workspace is provisioned for you instantly.
- Step 02
Paste the snippet
Drop one script tag before </body>. The widget mounts in an isolated shadow DOM and inherits your brand color.
- Step 03
Watch it work
It answers from your docs, escalates when stuck, and routes every hand-off into a single team inbox.

Frequently asked questions
What is Clanker Support?
Clanker Support is an AI-powered support agent you embed on any site with one script tag — or one React Server Component via the @clankersupport/widget-rsc npm package. It answers from your docs and sources, then hands off to your team the moment it can't — routing every escalation into a single inbox with the full conversation intact.
How do I add Clanker Support to my site?
Paste one script tag before the closing </body> tag — the widget mounts in an isolated shadow DOM, inherits your brand color, and needs no build step. On WordPress, skip the code entirely: install the official plugin from the WordPress.org directory and paste your project key under Settings. On Shopify, a zero-permission app embed is coming to the App Store — the script tag works on any storefront today. On Next.js or any React 19 app, use the official @clankersupport/widget-rsc npm package. Most teams are live in about five minutes.
Which AI models does Clanker Support support?
Any model available through LLM Gateway. You choose the model per project and can swap it with a config change — no code edits — so you can run a cost-efficient model for routine questions and a more capable one where it matters.
What happens when the AI can't answer?
It escalates to a human instead of guessing. The full conversation lands in your team inbox with context intact, a notification goes to your alert email, and the customer can keep the thread going over email — nothing lands in a black hole.
Is Clanker Support self-hostable?
Yes. Clanker Support is open and self-hostable — bring your own keys and run it on your own infrastructure for free. If you'd rather not operate it, the hosted version has flat monthly plans starting at $19, with no per-seat fees.
