[<h3>The work you don't see (and why it makes Chat Thing better)</h3>](https://chatthing.ai/blog/the-work-you-dont-see-and-why-it-makes-chat-thing-better)

This month we rebuilt the engine room of Chat Thing. Not the bit you log into, but the part doing all the heavy lifting behind the scenes.. crawling your website, syncing your content from Notion, Google Drive and the rest, generating your analytics, sending your emails, running your agents' tasks. All of that runs on a separate system, and we tore it down and rebuilt it from scratch.

[<h3>Lead Capture is live: meet your visitors before the first message</h3>](https://chatthing.ai/blog/launch-week-05-lead-capture)

Lead Capture is a native pre-chat form on the web channel. Visitors fill it in, the chat opens, and their answers flow into your systems via webhook so your assistant knows who it is talking to from message one.
