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.
High-quality human data for AI training, evaluation, and research
Filter participants by detailed demographic, professional, and behavioural criteria and reach narrow or representative samples rather than a generic crowd.
Collect human preference data for model fine-tuning, run safety evaluations and red-teaming, and use a feedback API to plug humans into automated pipelines.
Attention checks, honesty screening, and approval workflows help filter out careless or fraudulent responses before you analyse results.
Publish a study and begin collecting responses quickly, with tooling that supports screening, quotas, and longitudinal designs.
