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.

The AI-native helpdesk that turns Slack and Teams chats into resolved tickets
Detect and create tickets from channel threads or private bot DMs, so requests become trackable work without asking anyone to leave their chat app.
AI combines the conversation, requester history, connected knowledge and live systems data to answer questions and take actions rather than merely routing them.
Resolved conversations are turned into new or updated documentation, so the knowledge base stays current and future questions are deflected automatically.
Trigger approvals, updates and multi-step workflows across Jira, Linear, HubSpot, Salesforce, Workday, Okta, Stripe and other connected tools, plus Zapier, Make and webhooks.
