The team quickly realized two things:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Live chat wasn&#8217;t nice to have, it was essential.<\/li>\n<li>Most of these questions were the same ones over and over.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h2>Scaling with AI<\/h2>\n<p>WisdomCircle upgraded to the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/helploom.com\/#pricing\">Plus plan<\/a>\u00a0and built out their knowledge base.
