QuickBlox
What is QuickBlox?
QuickBlox is a communication platform that lets developers and businesses add AI agents, chat, voice calling, and video calling to Android, iOS, and web applications. It combines APIs, SDKs, UI Kits, and ready-made white-label apps, and operates their server-side infrastructure, so teams don’t need to build or maintain their own real-time communication backend. QuickBlox has operated communication infrastructure since 2011 and has a particular focus on healthcare.
Key Features
- AI Agent Platform. Conversational AI agents answer questions, collect information through conversational forms, automate routine workflows such as patient intake and appointment requests, and hand off to a human when needed. Agents can be embedded on a website, added inside an app, or connected to existing QuickBlox chat and video.
- Chat API and SDK. One-to-one and group chat, message history, typing indicators, read receipts, and file sharing for images, audio, video, and documents.
- Voice and video calling. One-to-one and group voice and video calls built on Web Real-Time Communication (WebRTC), for use cases such as virtual consultations, remote support, and team collaboration.
- Push notifications. Real-time alerts and badge counters notify users of activity and trigger business workflows.
- UI Kits. Prebuilt interface components for iOS, Android, and JavaScript reduce front-end development work.
- Q-Consultation. A white-label telehealth and virtual consultation app combining video calls, secure chat, and patient intake using AI agents, deployed under the customer’s own brand. Beyond telehealth, it supports remote consultations in areas such as finance, education, and recruitment.
Security and Compliance
- SOC 2 Type 2 attestation.
- HIPAA Cloud plan with a Business Associate Agreement (BAA) to support Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) requirements.
- Enterprise customers can choose dedicated cloud or on-premises deployment for control over data residency.
Differentiators
- AI agents, chat, voice, and video within one platform.
- Several ways to build: APIs and SDKs for custom applications, UI Kits for front-end development, or a complete white-label app for teams that want a ready-made product.
- A HIPAA-eligible plan with a BAA, priced below a full enterprise contract, for smaller healthcare and digital health companies.
