Your company’s brain

Your team and AI agents can find what they need in one place.

Helpin brings your customer conversations, meeting notes, docs, and project updates together. Your team and AI agents can use this information to answer questions without searching through separate tools or asking customers to repeat themselves.

AI agents answer with the full customer history.

Past questions, replies, and attempted fixes help AI agents understand each customer’s issue, so customers get relevant help without explaining the same problem again.

What’s inside

You can manage support, development, sales and marketing in the same place.

Your team gets the inboxes, task boards, CRM, docs, and meeting notes it needs for day-to-day work. AI agents help with replies, updates, and follow-ups inside those tools.

Answer customer questions and keep track of every conversation.

Manage chat and email in shared team inboxes. The Echo agent can use your docs and check connected tools for code, logs, and customer account details before replying. It can follow up to see if the customer still needs help and bring your team in when needed.
