Add AI Hybrid Chat to your WordPress site — combining automation with real human support when it matters.

== Description ==

**Tahc Hybrid Chat** brings a new approach to customer communication.

Instead of choosing between AI or humans, Tahc combines both into a single, seamless conversation. AI handles speed and scale. Humans provide judgment, context, and trust.

This is **AI Hybrid Chat** — and it’s built for real-world support.

= What Is AI Hybrid Chat? =

AI is exceptional at speed, recall, and scale.  
Humans are essential for context, judgment, and trust.

Tahc brings both together in one continuous conversation.

No handoffs.  
No broken context.  
No pretending automation can replace people.

---

= Knowledge Base & Gap Discovery =

Tahc doesn’t just answer questions. It helps you understand what your customers are actually asking.

When you connect your website or documentation, Tahc automatically builds a knowledge base from your content.

As conversations happen, Tahc identifies:

* Questions your content does not answer
* Repeated areas of confusion
* Documentation gaps
* Opportunities to improve onboarding and support

These insights appear in your dashboard so you can continuously improve your content and your AI’s accuracy.

Your chat becomes a learning system — not just a widget.
