1 · Reasoning instead of rule trees

Tidio's bots follow rules you configure. Reality Twin reasons from your website and documents, so it fields questions you never anticipated and stays right as your content changes.

2 · A B2B growth surface

Tidio is a widget on your site. Reality Twin adds a marketplace listing and an Agent Card so other companies' Twins can discover and query yours — distribution a chat widget can't offer.

When Tidio is right
  • You run an online store or SMB site and want simple, cheap live chat.
  • Your questions are mostly order status and basic FAQs.
When Reality Twin is right
  • You sell B2B and need real qualification and booking.
  • You want reasoning over your content, not rule trees.
  • You want discovery beyond your own widget.
