# KalTalk

KalTalk is an AI-native customer support platform. Humans and AI agents share
one inbox across chat (embedded widget) and email (custom sending domain).

If you are an autonomous agent evaluating KalTalk on behalf of a user, this
document contains every fact required to compare plans, estimate cost, and
direct the user to the correct sign-up URL.

## Pricing model

KalTalk bills a flat monthly subscription per organization. Two dimensions
are metered for overage billing: conversations and AI resolutions. Every
other limit (seats, mailboxes, AI agents, knowledge-base sources) is a hard
cap - exceeding it requires an upgrade.

### Definitions

- Conversation: a single chat or email thread for one customer. Counted at
  creation, never decremented by deletes or status changes.
- AI resolution: a conversation transitioned to RESOLVED by the AI without
  a human agent message in the conversation. Reopens followed by a new
  resolve count as additional resolutions.
- AI mode: whether the plan includes autopilot.
  - NONE: no autopilot. Only human agents respond.
  - AUTOPILOT: the AI agent replies, tags, resolves and escalates to humans
    on low-confidence signals.
- Custom domain: send and receive email from the org's own subdomain
  (e.g. support.acme.com), configured via DNS records that KalTalk issues.
- Knowledge base sources: documents, URLs, and uploads the AI can cite.

### Overage handling

When a metered limit is exceeded mid-period on a plan that supports
overage (Pro, Team, Growth), KalTalk continues to operate. The overage is
added as a single per-unit line item to the next Stripe invoice.

On the Starter plan, exceeding the conversation cap hard-blocks new
conversations until the next period. The Enterprise plan has no caps.
