Platforms
Freshdesk Freddy AI is a customer service platform from Freshworks. It combines ticketing, a shared inbox, a knowledge base and automated workflows with AI agents that answer and resolve customer emails.
Every plan includes the Freddy AI Agent with the first 500 sessions. You build, test, deploy and monitor email AI agents in AI Agent Studio. Teams on Pro and Enterprise can add Freddy AI Copilot, which gives agents sentiment-based prioritization, reply drafting, summaries, live translation in 60+ languages and suggestions for similar tickets. Enterprise adds Freddy AI Insights, which offers root cause analysis and lets you ask questions about your support data in plain language. Through MCP and connector apps, Freshdesk links to other business tools.
Freshdesk suits support teams of many sizes. Small teams can start with email AI, and larger organizations can use the skill-based routing, sandbox, audit logs and IP whitelisting in the higher plans.
Who it's for
Deploy an email AI agent that replies back and forth with customers and resolves common requests without an agent stepping in.
Agents use Copilot to draft on-brand responses, summarize long threads and find similar tickets.
Translate conversations and knowledge base articles so you can serve customers in their own language.
Enterprise teams get proactive alerts and root cause analysis on support metrics across channels.
