'Fixing the immediate problem is only part of the job': Hostinger’s AI agent just got promoted
Hostinger’s AI resolved 91% of 1.5 million monthly support chats. Now, a major upgrade expands its role to manage SEO, marketing, and web builds.
Hostinger has elevated its Kodee AI agent to a new level, aiming to address the issue of AI fragmentation that small businesses face. The upgraded tool, named Hostinger Agent, will not only handle support but also excel in creating, planning, automating, and analyzing work. This significant upgrade stems from the Kodee agent's impressive ability to resolve 91% of 1.5 million support conversations each month, a feat that led to its promotion.
Hostinger Agent builds upon the Kodee approach, focusing on resolving a wide range of tasks and issues independently. However, if it encounters a problem it cannot solve, it will transfer the case to human specialists. Despite this new role, Hostinger Agent retains its core objective of providing accurate solutions while keeping human intervention to a minimum.
The AI fragmentation problem stems from the multitude of bots and tools small businesses use, such as SEO tools, writing copilots, and analytics agents. These tools require time to set up and understand, and they often lack interoperability, leading to repetitive conversations. According to Gartner research, 60% of brands will utilize agentic AI across key business areas by 2028, highlighting the potential compounding effects of AI fragmentation in the future.
Emilis Strimaitis, Head of Product Innovation at Hostinger, emphasizes that the AI industry has been providing numerous assistants, copilots, and agents to businesses. However, the real value lies in making the AI agent understand the customer's specific needs and requirements, enabling it to offer tailored advice and take action.
Hostinger Agent achieves this by connecting various services like support, marketing, SEO, content and visuals, analysis, and recurring tasks into a single interface. This consolidation allows users to manage their website efficiently from one place, developing a deeper contextual understanding of their business and providing more accurate advice.
With Hostinger Agent now accessible within AI Builder, users can create websites, stores, apps, and other online projects simultaneously, streamlining the entire process.
