You don't need an "AI Employee."
You need a Unified Inbox.
Heyy is great if you want an automated bot replying to Instagram DMs. But if you're a B2B founder, you need a system that connects chat, email, and meetings into one continuous customer timeline. Stop automating your high-value relationships. Start scaling them with AI Drafts.

Where Heyy wins, and where JIVIQ wins.
We believe in being honest. JIVIQ isn't for everyone. Here is exactly when you should use Heyy, and when you should switch to JIVIQ.
When to use Heyy.io
Heyy is explicitly designed to act as an "AI Employee" that runs autonomously across social channels.
- check_circle You want a bot to completely take over sales and lead qualification.
- check_circle You run an e-commerce or high-volume B2C business where personal touch isn't the primary driver.
- check_circle You don't mind customers knowing they are speaking to an AI.
When JIVIQ is the better choice
JIVIQ is built specifically for solo B2B founders who need to manage high-value relationships seamlessly without sounding like a robot.
- check_circle You need one continuous timeline linking a customer's chat, emails, and meeting notes.
- check_circle You want the AI to draft responses in your voice for you to approve, not just blast automated messages.
- check_circle You are a B2B founder managing long sales cycles and high-ticket clients.
- check_circle You don't want your high-value B2B leads talking to an obvious bot when they need the founder.
Why B2B Founders Leave Heyy
Automated bots work for selling $20 t-shirts. They fail when selling $20,000 SaaS contracts.
The "Robot" Factor
B2B buyers want to speak to the founder. When Heyy replies automatically, high-value leads immediately know they are talking to a bot and disengage.
Fragmented Context
Heyy handles social DMs, but what about email? What about Zoom meetings? B2B requires context across multiple channels, which standalone bots miss.
Loss of Control
Full automation is terrifying when one wrong message can cost you a major enterprise deal. Founders need oversight, not full delegation.

The Continuous Customer Timeline
JIVIQ replaces the fragmented experience of using a social bot, a separate CRM, and an email client.
Every interaction—whether it's an initial form submission, an email thread, or meeting notes—is plotted chronologically on a single timeline per customer.
- history Instantly recall past conversations before a pitch.
- search Search across all interactions instantly.
- insights AI analyzes the entire timeline to suggest the next best action.
AI Drafts > AI Automation
Heyy promises to automate your conversations completely. For high-ticket B2B sales, that is a recipe for disaster.
JIVIQ takes a Copilot approach. Our AI reads the incoming message, looks at the entire customer timeline for context, and drafts a perfect response in your voice.
You review, tweak if necessary, and hit send. You keep 100% control, but save 90% of the time.
