Detailed Review
Kindly is operated by Kindly AS, headquartered in Oslo, Norway, and founded in 2016. It is a Norwegian AI chatbot built around a visual, no-code dialogue builder and support for more than 100 languages out of the box, aimed at high-volume conversational commerce rather than a handful of daily conversations. Pricing is session-based on an annual commitment and is not published anywhere on the vendor's site — every plan is quoted per organisation after a sales conversation.
Where Kindly earns its place in a conversational-marketing shortlist rather than a plain support-chat list:
- Visual, no-code dialogue builder for designing conversation flows
- Multilingual AI agent supporting 100+ languages out of the box
- Deployed across chat, voice, in-app and messaging channels including WhatsApp
- Real-time personalisation using connected CRM, helpdesk and order-management data
Kindly's 100+ language support is the widest of any vendor in this category, which matters for a European retailer or marketplace selling across many language markets from one bot.
What Kindly does well
- Widest language coverage of any tool in this category (100+ languages)
- Deep integrations with CRM, helpdesk and order-management systems for real-time personalisation
- Deployed across chat, voice, in-app and WhatsApp from one dialogue builder
- Norwegian entity (Kindly AS, Oslo) with a public trust centre
Where Kindly falls short
- No published pricing anywhere on the vendor's site — every plan requires a sales conversation
- Session-based pricing on an annual commitment is harder to budget than a monthly published tier
- Positioned and marketed mainly at large-volume support operations rather than small businesses
Standout feature. Kindly's 100+ language support is the widest of any vendor in this category, which matters for a European retailer or marketplace selling across many language markets from one bot.
