AI
AI drafts answers from your help articles and sorts the queue. Your Content Moderator checks each reply, handles the exceptions and keeps the tone human.
Reply drafts from your help articles
AI suggests an answer from your knowledge base in Zendesk, Intercom, HubSpot or Gorgias. Your Content Moderator checks it against policy, personalises it and sends.
Triage and tagging
AI sorts and prioritises new tickets and flags urgent or unhappy customers, so the right ones get answered first.
Help articles from solved tickets
AI turns solved tickets into draft help articles. Your Content Moderator checks each step before it's published.
Replies in other languages
AI drafts the translation. Your Content Moderator checks the meaning and tone, and escalates anything legal or sensitive.
Weekly themes report
AI summarises the week's tickets into top issues and trends, checked against the raw numbers.
Our rule: business-grade AI only, never free or personal accounts.
