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.
An open-source toolkit for adding AI agents to your React app
Register your existing React components once and the agent renders them with the correct props, inheriting your styling, design system and business logic instead of inventing new markup.
Streaming, message threads, cancellation, error states, conversation storage and component state are handled for you, so AI features do not require rebuilding core app infrastructure.
The agent inherits the signed-in user's permissions and session, keeping AI features inside your existing security and authorisation boundaries.
Model Context Protocol integration on both sides connects the agent to external tools and data sources, with MCP OAuth support for authenticated servers.
