Start with Re:amaze — highest vibe code, weakest moat.
Crisp
You can easily clone Crisp's live web chat widget, internal agent dashboard, and Shopify sidebar using AI in a week. However, maintaining the infrastructure for multi-platform messaging (WhatsApp, Instagram, Telegram) and native push notifications makes replacing Crisp entirely for a growing team unpractical.
