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 builds the schedule. Your team gets a text. No app required.
Describe your week in plain English and Timely generates a full schedule respecting availability, roles and your custom rules, then lets you fine-tune with drag and drop.
Publish a schedule and every employee receives it by SMS automatically — no downloads, no logins, with open rates around 98% as the site claims.
Set max hours, required rest between shifts, minimum staffing or 'always have a keyholder on' and Timely warns or blocks the save before a bad shift is published.
A live payroll preview updates as you build, showing regular hours, overtime and estimated gross wages so you catch overtime mid-week rather than on payday.
