BDC Manager Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) 4/30/2026 "Exceptional User-Friendly Chat Solution with Room for AI Improvement" 5/5 What do you like best about Gubagoo? I find Gubagoo very easy to use and intuitive. It's simple, allowing us to quickly access and manage website chats without complications. I like that it provides basic handle responses with common phrases, such as introducing ourselves, and makes it easy to look back at conversation history. The reporting features are straightforward and easy to understand. It's not overly complex, which is great because I don't think a website chat tool needs to be. Additionally, the setup was extremely easy, with only basic information like name and email required, most of it already being set up by Gubagoo. It's the most intuitive platform we've used, fitting our company's needs best. I appreciate that it's user-friendly, which is exactly what we need in a busy call center. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Gubagoo? There are some areas of the managed chat, which is via an AI tool, that just aren't accurate. When speaking with the customer, we've seen some service questions be responded to as if they were sales questions. For example, a customer needing to service a 2018 Camry sometimes is mistaken for a customer shopping for a 2018 Camry. In those instances, it could be a little embarrassing because it's put on to the customer as if it's a human, and it makes us look a little silly back at the dealership. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Gubagoo solving and how is that benefiting you? Gubagoo manages chat when human agents are unavailable, answers basic customer questions, and captures conversations for follow-up during business hours. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Social Media and Marketing Manager Automotive Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) 10/1/2025 "Gubagoo Chat Help" 4/5 What do you like best about Gubagoo? I like that Gubagoo helps to reach out to customers if any of our staff can't do it! The customer service rep is really great at responding to us and solving our issues! We seem to get chats everyday so it is a feature that helps us greatly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Gubagoo? I dislike that sometimes when it comes to a simple question that can be answered our AI chatbot can't answer the question that would a simple question. We just need to have our staff watch it more to better understand the questions that are going on or train our AI a bit better to be able to answer the questions easier. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Gubagoo solving and how is that benefiting you? It is helping us respond to customers who inquire about a question they may have. We can add in our hours and which days we are closed so then the AI chatbot can handle any questions that would come in when we aren't staffed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Marketing Manager Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) 5/18/2021 "Gubagoo handles what you miss" 3.5/5 What do you like best about Gubagoo? I like that Gubagoo is able to take chats on our website, but also messages that start on Facebook. And not just what comes through messenger directly, but Gubagoo supplies our feed to Facebook marketplace, so they take the chats of people who are interested in a used vehicle. They are great at getting a phone #/email first so that if the chat falls through, they still have a lead they can send into our CRM. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Gubagoo? Multiple times, it seems, the reps taking the chats do not look at dealership notes to make sure they are providing the correct information. For example, not all our vehicles are located at the same physical address, so we have information to Gubagoo on what address to tell a customer if they ask. It's only about a 70% chance they will get it correct. Low in my opionion (all you need is one mad customer to consider that # too low). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering Gubagoo: If at all you feel like you want to go with Gubagoo, be sure to evaluate your represenative they give you. If you don't feel the support you would like, change right away because you will probably speak with them more often than you think. I have learned this mostly because of Facebook - Facebook will change something and all of a sudden our feed breaks, or those chats start getting missed. A lot of times it is because of a third party change that happens unexpectedly. Also, be sure to let them know if you want their reps to respond differently. Initially, their goal was first to set up an appt and then get contact info. We changed it that their goal is to get contact info and not always set up an appt (because they assume a vehicle is available when it could have been sold already but still not off the site yet). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Gubagoo solving and how is that benefiting you? Gubagoo is solving our missed opportunities in Facebook marketplace. After we started our feed there our budget lot vehicle leads exploded and we have learned that is a great avenue to reach budget and as-is car buyers. A big benefit for us are all the chats that Gubagoo takes on when our dealership is closed. We are able to take over chats when we are open if we like, then it goes fully Gubagoo during off-hours. So it's nice to see leads already in the bucket in we come to work the next morning. Monday mornings are busy! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sales and Marketing Manager Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) 10/1/2024 "The next level of livechat, chat with people not AI" 5/5 What do you like best about Gubagoo? That fact that the live chat was manned by a real person 24hrs a day, 7 days a week. And customer could have the ability to talk to a real person. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Head of V Sales Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) 11/16/2021 "Better ROI from your digital marketing campaigns" 5/5 What do you like best about Gubagoo? The ability to truly understand the customer, this is because the chats are handled by humans, this does make a difference, it's not perfect but that's a human condition, that makes us human. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Gubagoo? It's difficult to set very specific processes or lines, because most operators are not exclusive to your account and need to follow a specific process. But the ability that your sales reps can jump into the conversation in real time solves this. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering Gubagoo: Bots may seem cheaper, but you still need human hours to filter, supervise. Also conversion is lower. So in the end is not a saving Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Gubagoo solving and how is that benefiting you? Customers wants instant answers to their queries, and filling out forms it's not that attractive to them, they are not that willing to leave their personal info... So a live chat helped us to go around this problems and increase conversions from the website and also reduce the response time to the customer, this last thing translates to better sales conversion.
