Infobip vs Live Helper Chat: at a glance
What is Infobip?
A CPaaS rebuilding around AI agents that act, not just channels that deliver
Infobip publishes quarterly roll-ups, and the feed stores each quarter twice — once as a bare label, once as the summary paragraph. Across Q3 2025 to Q1 2026 the through-line is consistent: AgentOS unifying the communication stack, AI agents that take action rather than reply, MCP servers connecting models to real channels, and AI voice work under Vocalize, against continued WhatsApp, RCS and CDP investment.
What is Live Helper Chat?
Live Helper Chat 5.00 records who created and changed webhooks, mailboxes and templates.
Live Helper Chat 5.00 adds creation time, modification time and modifying user to webhooks, chat start settings, departments, mailboxes, response templates and user groups, and keeps that metadata through edits, copies and imports. 4.99 let bots reply in mail threads and added a mail-close event. 4.98 added operator QA evaluation forms.

A CPaaS rebuilding around AI agents that act, not just channels that deliver
◆ Current state
Infobip publishes quarterly roll-ups, and the feed stores each quarter twice — once as a bare label, once as the summary paragraph. Across Q3 2025 to Q1 2026 the through-line is consistent: AgentOS unifying the communication stack, AI agents that take action rather than reply, MCP servers connecting models to real channels, and AI voice work under Vocalize, against continued WhatsApp, RCS and CDP investment.
◆ Where it's heading
The company is repositioning from delivering messages to running autonomous customer interactions on top of them. Channels are becoming the substrate; the product being sold is the agent layer above. MCP servers matter most here — they make Infobip's channel reach callable by models a customer already runs, rather than requiring Infobip's own agent builder.
◆ Prediction
Expect the next quarterly to lead with AgentOS depth — orchestration, handoff and measurement across agents — since the channel and MCP groundwork it needs has now shipped over three consecutive quarters.
Live Helper Chat
5.0SUPPORT
Live Helper Chat 5.00 records who created and changed webhooks, mailboxes and templates.
◆ Current state
Live Helper Chat 5.00 adds creation time, modification time and modifying user to webhooks, chat start settings, departments, mailboxes, response templates and user groups, and keeps that metadata through edits, copies and imports. 4.99 let bots reply in mail threads and added a mail-close event. 4.98 added operator QA evaluation forms.
◆ Where it's heading
Releases arrive every few days and alternate between automation (bots in mail, file OCR for bots, MCP support in September) and admin governance (team leads, QA forms, audit metadata). Version 5.00 marks no break; it extends the audit trail started in 4.98.
◆ Prediction
Expect further 5.0x releases to extend the mail module and bot automation, with audit and security changes alongside.
