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.

Support that refunds Stripe and Paddle without leaving the ticket
Look up customers, review subscriptions and charges, issue refunds and cancel subscriptions inside the ticket using native Stripe, Paddle Billing and Paddle Classic integrations.
Wire your own platform APIs — password resets, credit top-ups, account unlocks, internal webhooks — into a sidebar button that agents can run with customer data pre-filled.
Incoming conversations are automatically grouped into categories such as Billing, Technical or Feedback before an agent ever opens the queue.
The AI reads the thread and prepares a suggested response that an agent can review, edit and send, cutting reply time on repetitive questions.
