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.
AI agents that resolve support requests and drive sales, 24/7
200+ pre-built actions let the agent issue refunds, process returns, swap products, pause subscriptions, and update orders directly in Shopify, Stripe, Recharge, AfterShip, and other connected systems.
Responses are generated from live catalog data, order records, and your policy documents rather than frozen training data, with citations so customers and teams can verify the source.
Set per-action limits, escalation conditions, approved tone, sign-offs, and banned phrases so every reply stays on-brand and inside the rules you define.
Chat, voice, email, WhatsApp, Instagram DMs and comments, Messenger, and contact forms flow into one shared inbox where humans and AI collaborate.
