Pylon

Pylon is the only agentic support platform, purpose-built for B2B companies. For leaders scaling AI-native support teams, Pylon lets humans and agents collaborate on customer work – investigating, resolving, and acting on every signal across every channel that matters. Unlike platforms built before the AI era, Pylon enriches every interaction with deep account-level context, automates the low impact customer work, and surfaces answers before your team even has to ask. The result: faster responses, happier customers, and a system that continuously improves itself.

Freshdesk

Freshdesk (a product of Freshworks Inc.) helps customer service teams move from their first AI agent to AI-powered customer service, without a drawn-out transformation program. Freshdesk unifies channels, conversations, AI, and customer context into one place, so agents always have the full picture before responding. Ready-to-use AI agents understand intent, take action, and resolve requests across channels, not just route them. AI Copilot helps every agent work faster and with more confidence, and AI Insights turns service data into decisions instead of dashboards.
