Knocket AI: Chat with visitors from your website or link
Product Hunt's leaderboard for October 30, 2026 placed Knocket second, although the listing carries a Promoted label. Knocket is a website chat widget that lets visitors message a site owner. Per the vendor, the web widget needs one async script. Founders without a website can instead use a Contact Page, which produces a shareable chat link for visitors.
Replies can be sent from the Knocket Inbox, through Telegram, or by email notification. The inbox collects web, app, Contact Page, Telegram and email conversations in one place. The vendor describes the product as a lightweight contact tool rather than a CRM, an AI customer service system or an Intercom replacement, and says it is 100% free forever, with no ads and no seat limits.
The vendor compares the product with the free widgets from Tidio and Tawk.to on its own site. Its open-source AI agent is offered as a separate component. The reviewed material does not cover how user data is handled or whether conversations can be exported.
Why it matters
For a team building an AI product, a free intake point gives users a place to ask questions before the company commits to a full support stack. The category's paid options cost more by comparison. An Indie Hackers post by a product manager on the Knocket team says rival live chat tools cost $20 to $50 a month or need complex setup. A zero-cost widget lets a small team collect questions, see what users ask and learn response patterns before budgeting for software.
For investors, the product is a small signal about where early support spending may go. The vendor says it is not a CRM, helpdesk or chatbot suite, so a company that starts here will still need a plan for moving conversations into a paid system as volume grows. Buyers should check data handling, retention and export terms before routing customer messages through a free tool, since the reviewed material does not settle these points.
