What changes

## Typebot builds conversations. Communicate answers questions.

- 01 ### No flows to build The Agent answers from your pages and files, with a source. You write handoff rules in plain words.
- 02 ### Your team in the chat Any teammate can take over from the Shared Inbox, with the full chat in view. Teammate replies are free.
- 03 ### One more seat for $39 Typebot Starter is $39 for 2 seats. Communicate Starter is $39 for 3, and Growth is $99 for 10.
