What is OpenDots?
OpenDots is an AI customer response and intelligence platform. It replies to customers on Google Play, the App Store, Google Business Profile, Instagram, X and email in your brand’s voice, resolves requests with Claire, its AI agent, and turns every conversation into insights your teams can act on. It answers more than 100,000 reviews a month for brands such as Rebel Foods, Cashify, Multipl and Ownly.
Which channels does OpenDots support?
Google Play reviews, App Store reviews, Google Business Profile (Google Maps) reviews, Instagram comments and DMs, X, and email are live. Facebook, LinkedIn, WhatsApp, and website and in-app chat are coming soon.
Can OpenDots reply to Google reviews automatically?
Yes. OpenDots replies to Google Business Profile reviews for every location in your brand’s voice, within minutes, around the clock. For each type of review you decide whether replies go out automatically or wait for your team’s approval.
How does OpenDots reply to Play Store and App Store reviews?
OpenDots reads every new review on Google Play and the App Store, works out what pleased or upset the customer, and writes a reply to that specific review in the same language, following your rules (for example, how to handle refunds or a known bug). It writes every reply fresh, so no two replies read the same.
Does replying to app store reviews improve ratings?
It tends to. Google says replying to a negative Google Play review can raise that rating by 0.7 stars on average. In a study of 4.5 million Google Play reviews, reviews that got a developer reply were six times as likely to have their rating raised: 4.4%, against 0.7% for reviews with no reply (Hassan et al., Empirical Software Engineering, 2018).
Does replying to Google reviews help a business?
Research links it to more customers. SOCi’s 2022 study of more than 31,000 Google Business Profiles found that businesses answering every review converted 16.4% more often than those answering none, where conversion means calls, website clicks and direction requests. In BrightLocal’s 2026 survey of US consumers, 89% said they expect businesses to respond to reviews, and half said generic, templated replies put them off.
Does OpenDots reply in Hindi, Hinglish and other languages?
Yes. OpenDots detects the language of each message and replies in it. It supports more than 30 languages, including Hindi and Hinglish.
What is Claire?
Claire is the AI agent inside OpenDots that resolves customer requests end to end. It learns from your last 30 days of conversations, drafts a playbook for each recurring request, connects it to your systems (such as orders, payments and refunds) and, once your team approves, resolves those requests itself. Anything sensitive or uncertain goes to your team.
Does the AI make things up?
No. Claire only uses what it found in your systems for that specific message, and review replies never invent refunds, dates or policies. OpenDots logs every message, lookup, decision and reply it sends. Legal threats, journalists and media, abuse, VIP accounts and anything Claire is unsure about always go to your team.
How is OpenDots different from review management or customer service tools?
Most tools either answer customers or analyze their feedback. OpenDots does both in one place, across app stores, Google Business Profile, social and email: it writes each reply for the customer who wrote in and sorts every conversation into categories, themes and feedback points. Claire goes further and resolves requests with your own systems.
How long does it take to set up OpenDots?
About ten minutes of your time, on a short call to connect your channels. OpenDots learns from your last 30 days of conversations overnight and answers reviews on Google Play, the App Store and Google Business Profile from day two. On Instagram, X and email, everyday requests go live first; the rest follow as your team shares its SOPs, knowledge base and system access and signs off on the playbooks: two or three days if your team moves fast, a week or two if not.
How much does OpenDots cost?
Your first month is free, and our team sets OpenDots up with yours. After that, pricing depends on the volume of conversations and the channels you use. Write to hello@opendots.ai for a quote.
