Support Infrastructure That Scales from Day One

Live in under an hour
White-glove onboarding from a real engineer. We help you wire up your widget, knowledge base, and integrations on a 1:1 call.
AI agent, not a chatbot
Dalo's AI takes real actions — looks up orders, processes refunds, syncs with Stripe and Shopify — so your team can focus on building.
Founder-tier support
Direct Slack channel with the Dalo team. Bug? Feature request? Late-night question? We're there with you.
Generous API limits
10× the standard rate limits, priority queueing, and early access to new endpoints — perfect for startups still iterating fast.
Pricing that grows with you
After year one, transition to a discounted founder rate. No surprise bills, no per-seat traps — just transparent pricing.
