Re:amaze vs LiveAgent: at a glance
What is Re:amaze?
Re:amaze keeps adding stages to the pipeline before a human sees a ticket
Re:amaze publishes a blog that doubles as its release channel, and the run since January is a single continuous build: the AI Agent launched as a knowledge-base-backed chatbot, gained smarter intent detection, extended to email and SMS, then a mid-year roundup added visibility into how the agent works and ways to test it before it goes live. The newest entry introduces an AI Pre-Filter that sorts the inbox before any of that runs — separating marketing mail, shipping notices, social mentions and spam from the customers who actually need an answer.
What is LiveAgent?
LiveAgent 5.71 starts letting bots work chats over MCP and answer the phones.
LiveAgent's 5.70 branch added Mistral as an EU-hosted provider, Gemini and OpenAI for summaries and translation, live call transcription and on-demand message translation. 5.71.3 rolls those up with two new AI pieces: the live-chat bot can act as a chat operator driven over MCP, and an AI bot feature arrives for the call center. It also cuts AI agent latency and adds Gemini for voice transcription, alongside a long list of chat-widget and telephony fixes.

◆ Current state
Re:amaze publishes a blog that doubles as its release channel, and the run since January is a single continuous build: the AI Agent launched as a knowledge-base-backed chatbot, gained smarter intent detection, extended to email and SMS, then a mid-year roundup added visibility into how the agent works and ways to test it before it goes live. The newest entry introduces an AI Pre-Filter that sorts the inbox before any of that runs — separating marketing mail, shipping notices, social mentions and spam from the customers who actually need an answer.
◆ Where it's heading
The company is working backwards from the reply toward the inbox. First the agent answered questions, then it understood them better, then it reached more channels, then it became inspectable and testable. Pre-filtering is the logical next step upstream: deciding what is even a support conversation. The supporting content — how to write help centre articles for better AI answers, how much support AI should handle — is aimed at customers who have to decide how much of the queue to hand over.
◆ Prediction
Expect the pre-filter and the agent to be connected into a single routing decision, with escalation rules for the VIP case the announcement explicitly calls out as needing a person.
LiveAgent
5.0SUPPORT
LiveAgent 5.71 starts letting bots work chats over MCP and answer the phones.
◆ Current state
LiveAgent's 5.70 branch added Mistral as an EU-hosted provider, Gemini and OpenAI for summaries and translation, live call transcription and on-demand message translation. 5.71.3 rolls those up with two new AI pieces: the live-chat bot can act as a chat operator driven over MCP, and an AI bot feature arrives for the call center. It also cuts AI agent latency and adds Gemini for voice transcription, alongside a long list of chat-widget and telephony fixes.
◆ Where it's heading
The AI work has moved from assisting human agents (summaries, translation, transcripts) toward bots that take conversations themselves, in chat and now voice. Release notes stay terse, so how far the call-center bot goes is not yet clear from the entries.
◆ Prediction
Expect follow-up 5.71 builds that fix and expand the call-center bot and MCP operator, plus more model providers in voice features.
