AI-powered customer conversation platform for B2C messaging at scale
Bring WhatsApp, TikTok, Instagram, Facebook, Telegram, email and web chat into one shared inbox so no customer thread gets lost between apps.
AI agents qualify leads, answer routine questions, route to the right teammate and follow up automatically when conversations go quiet.
Track tags, custom fields, lead status and lifecycle stage per contact, and move deals through a pipeline without a separate CRM.
Reach thousands of customers with one message, and capture new leads directly from social ads and website links.

The AI-native helpdesk that turns Slack and Teams chats into resolved tickets
Detect and create tickets from channel threads or private bot DMs, so requests become trackable work without asking anyone to leave their chat app.
AI combines the conversation, requester history, connected knowledge and live systems data to answer questions and take actions rather than merely routing them.
Resolved conversations are turned into new or updated documentation, so the knowledge base stays current and future questions are deflected automatically.
Trigger approvals, updates and multi-step workflows across Jira, Linear, HubSpot, Salesforce, Workday, Okta, Stripe and other connected tools, plus Zapier, Make and webhooks.
