+
+### Core Features
+
+| Feature | Description |
+|:---------|:------------|
+| **7×24 AI Auto-Reply** | AI responds instantly to customer inquiries |
+| **AI ↔ Human Handoff** | Seamless switching: human replies → AI backs off; human leaves → AI resumes (15min timeout) |
+| **Customer-Unaware** | AI uses User session, not AgentBot — customer sees "agent reply" |
+| **Multi-Inbox Routing** | Single WS agent routes by `inbox_id` to different AI agents & knowledge bases |
+| **Private Notes** | AI auto-generates Chinese translation notes for human agents |
+| **Offline Resilience** | Bubble stays visible even when no agent is online |
+| **Zero Monthly Fee** | Self-hosted Chatwoot + QwenPaw, no SaaS subscription |
