• Use any device with web browsing to start a conversation, with no need to download an app.
• Continue conversations seamlessly, regardless of where they left off.

"This continuous web messaging connection through LivePerson means we can give customers highly personalized, flexible experiences that work on their own time frames and in their preferred channel."
