Agentic customer service platform where teams and AI resolve support together
Handle email, chat, Slack, Teams, voice, WhatsApp and a help center from one workspace, with shared inboxes for teams that stay in Gmail.
AI investigates issues across past conversations, docs, connected systems and codebases, then drafts contextual replies and takes action with approval.
Define how AI resolves complex multi-step requests, deploy across every channel, and test performance on real scenarios before going live.
AI reviews resolved tickets to spot gaps in the help center and turn proven resolutions into new articles, keeping documentation current.

AI support agent that resolves tickets end to end via MCP
Hugo connects to your tools over the Model Context Protocol so it can read live data and complete tasks, resolving conversations instead of only answering them.
Any team member can load knowledge sources, adjust tone and publish the agent through a visual interface, with no developer involvement required.
Drag-and-drop workflow logic lets you design triage, routing and escalation paths for complex support processes in one interface.
Run Hugo on Claude, ChatGPT, Llama or your own model, keeping control over data, tone and performance.
