Executes complete workflows such as order placement, password resets and ticket handling through integrations with back-end systems.
Flags conversations that need an agent and hands over the full context so customers never repeat themselves.
Mines live conversations for recurring requests, pain points and commercial signals your team can act on.

Chat, email, phone, and messaging conversations arrive in one shared inbox with ticketing built for collaboration across teams.
An assistant that proactively surfaces context from connected systems and handles admin work without leaving the conversation view.
Centralize and measure the content behind AI and self-serve support, with suggestions on what to fix and one-click actions.
