AI that stops at simple deflection

Help Scout's AI stops at basic FAQs. It cannot run a multi-step workflow or pull data from your tools. Anything complex goes back to your team.

AI that stops at summaries

Help Scout's AI summarizes threads. It doesn't take actions, draft replies, or answer the questions your team has.

Basic automation, no native SLAs

Automation stops at simple rules. No way to sync updates across tools and no native SLAs.

Reporting that ends in a spreadsheet

Answering a basic question means exporting the data and pivoting it in Excel before anyone can read the answer.

Integrations that don't go deep enough

Most integrations stop at notifications or one-way sync. Your team still flips between tabs, pasting data manually.

1990s help center

No AI-powered search. Just a list of articles when customers search. Lacks AI to keep your help docs up to date.

Costs rise quickly as you scale

Essential features are gated behind premium plans that cost $90/user.

Everything you wish Help Scout had....and then some.

Collaborate across teams, tools, and channels

Manage escalations and handoffs with shared visibility and context across teams, tools, and channels. Private notes, unified channel timeline, internal Slack threads, and conversation history keep everyone on the same page.

Collaboration

AI Agents answer from your support docs, past tickets, and tools. Describe a scenario, and the AI Agent runs it: for a refund, it collects missing details, pulls the invoice from NetSuite, checks your refund policy, and posts the refund in Stripe.

AI Agent

Ask Copilot anything about the customer, and it answers from conversation history, account context, and past tickets. It triages, drafts replies in your voice and takes the action you approve in your connected tools.

AI Copilot

Bring customer context from your CRM, ERP, and order systems right inside the ticket. Build workflows that act on that context across those same tools, updating records and taking the next step so that every manual step is automated.
