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.
European uptime monitoring with incidents, alerts and status pages
Monitor HTTP(S), TCP and ICMP targets on intervals as short as 30 seconds from 12 locations across Europe, Asia, America and Oceania, with per-region confirmation rules to avoid false alarms.
Outages become tracked incidents with full event timelines, comments and updates; AI drafts incident summaries and postmortem text so teams can focus on the fix.
Publish public or private status pages on your own domain with SSL, subscriptions via RSS, Atom and Slack, and IP, token or password gating.
Send notifications by email, SMS, voice, Slack, Discord or outgoing webhooks, with alert rules that keep noise out of on-call rotations.
