Hollo for React Native and Expo

In-app support chat with an AI that answers from your docs, a shared inbox, and review, offer and link cards. Works in Expo Go; no native code.

npx expo install @hollo-so/react-native @react-native-async-storage/async-storage

import { Hollo } from "@hollo-so/react-native";

Hollo.start({ appKey: "app_XXXX" });
// Later, from a Support button:
Hollo.present();
// After sign-in:
Hollo.identify({ id: user.id, email: user.email });

To let users attach up to 5 photos to a message (screenshots of an error, say), also install the two Expo modules the photo picker uses. Photos are compressed on the device, and Hollo's AI reads them. Without these the chat simply has no attach button.

npx expo install expo-image-picker expo-image-manipulator

Pass an identity token signed by your server to mark the user as verified. Hollo's AI only runs account actions for verified users.

Hollo.identify({ id: user.id, identityToken: tokenFromYourServer });

Colours, the look (light or dark) and the title set on the app's page in the dashboard go over the theme you pass to Hollo.start, so they change without an app release. Anything the dashboard leaves unset keeps your own theme. The chat has one look of its own, so a colour's dark half only shows when the dashboard forces dark.

You need a Hollo workspace and an app key: sign up at hollo.so. Full guide: hollo.so/docs/react-native.
