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.

A model-agnostic Ruby framework for building AI agents and automations
Use OpenAI, Claude or Gemini — or plug in your own provider — without locking your app to one model.
Reusable classes for single generation tasks such as code from description or a description from code.
Operations that supply inputs to or act on the output of generators, like writing a file or running a command.
Autonomous entities with triggers such as file changes or time intervals — for example an agent that runs tests and fixes failing code.
