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.

Semantic social listening powered by machine learning
Sonar pulls social conversations automatically and applies NLP to judge whether each piece of text reads positive, negative or neutral.
Machine learning groups unstructured mentions into themes and topic groups, so large volumes of chatter collapse into a readable set of issues.
The engine analyses meaning rather than exact keywords, picking up paraphrases, slang and context that simple keyword monitoring misses.
Topics and sentiment are organised so brands can see which conversations matter and where opinion is shifting over time.
