Hey PH!
I'm Akash, and I built Foxchat because I got tired of paying Intercom prices just to chat with website visitors.
Foxchat is a live chat widget that lets you reply to website chats directly from Slack. No new dashboard to learn, no per-message fees, setup takes about 5 minutes.
What makes it different:
✔️ Reply from Slack (where you already are).
✔️ AI Assist suggests replies in your Slack threads using Claude.
✔️ Add your docs as a knowledge base so AI replies stay accurate.
✔️ Transparent pricing, no surprise per-resolution charges.
I built this for developers and small teams who want Intercom-level UX without the Intercom-level bill.
Would love your feedback. Happy to answer any questions here!

Who hunted Foxchat?
Foxchat was hunted by Akash Bhadange. A “hunter” on Product Hunt is the community member who submits a product to the platform — uploading the images, the link, and tagging the makers behind it. Hunters typically write the first comment explaining why a product is worth attention, and their followers are notified the moment they post. Around 79% of featured launches on Product Hunt are self-hunted by their makers, but a well-known hunter still acts as a signal of quality to the rest of the community.
