Soft Aware Reception — AI reception for your website
Soft Aware is a South African software company. This is a live product site, not a parked domain and not a misspelling of “software”.
Your digital front desk. Soft Aware Reception greets visitors, answers from your trained assistant, and routes enquiries. We do not host your website — generate a page and deploy it to your own hosting via FTP, or paste embed.js on a site you already run.
Who we are
Soft Aware is a South African software company. The public product is Soft Aware Reception: an AI-powered front desk for businesses. Assistants are trained on the customer’s own knowledge (website URLs, pasted text, and documents), then published as a standalone page, an embed on an existing site, or a WordPress shortcode.
This is not a parked domain. The interactive site is a web application; this HTML is the readable company and product description for search engines, assistants, and browsers that do not run JavaScript.
What Reception does
- Greets & answers — Trained on your business: services, policies, and FAQs.
- Open in minutes — Init, train, publish. No page-builder sprint required.
- Routes enquiries — Captures visitor details and sends them to a webhook or inbox.
- Guides to action — Conversation toward booking, buying, or contacting you.
- Deploy to your hosting — Generate a landing page and push it over FTP/SFTP. Soft Aware does not host the customer website; it serves the AI chat loader.
- Know what works — Telemetry on visits, messages, and captured leads.
Three client-side deploy paths
Your website files live on your hosting. Soft Aware generates HTML and uploads via SFTP/FTP; embed.js loads chat from the Soft Aware API into a Shadow DOM on your domain.
- Standalone — Static HTML with hero, about, services, and reception chat. Deploy via SFTP/FTP from the portal, or download and upload yourself.
- Embed — Paste a reception-embed div plus embed.js on any page you already host. Default is a floating chat button;
data-mode="inline"for an embedded panel. - WordPress — Plugin shortcode
[reception id="rec_…"]outputs an inline chat panel.
How it works
- Open your Reception — Name it, link an AI assistant, and set where enquiries should be routed (email or webhook).
- Train your team (AI) — Feed URLs, text, or documents so the reception knows what to say about your business.
- Publish and receive visitors — Generate static HTML and deploy via FTP, or paste the embed snippet on a site you already run. Chat loads from embed.js.
