Build customer-facing AI agents for support, sales, and product guidance
Write instructions in plain language, choose a model, set guardrails, and connect the knowledge the agent is allowed to use.
Let agents look up orders, fetch invoices, create tickets, or trigger workflows, and reply with interactive components instead of plain text.
Publish one agent to a website chat bubble, help center, phone line, WhatsApp, email, and Slack without rebuilding it per channel.
Humans and agents work from the same conversation view, with context and history preserved when an issue escalates.
