AI-first customer service with a natively integrated AI agent
An AI agent trained specifically for customer service that resolves routine and increasingly complex multi-step queries across every channel.
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.
Open-source workflow automation built for AI agents and technical teams
Build automations with a visual node editor, then insert JavaScript or Python code nodes when you need custom logic.
Connect to 500+ native services, any REST API via HTTP nodes, and any agent or coding assistant through MCP.
Run agents alongside regular steps, inspect every decision, and add structured inputs, guardrails and human approval steps.
Watch workflows execute live, open past runs, replay a run with mocked data and re-run just the step that failed.
