Hiver in Gmail

Hiver in Gmail transforms Gmail into a powerful agentic helpdesk. Support teams can manage shared inboxes, collaborate on conversations, automate workflows, and use AI to handle requests more efficiently, all without leaving the comfort and familiarity of their Gmail inbox. Hiver also offers Hiver Omni, an omnichannel customer service platform that brings email, chat, voice, Slack, SMS, and social into one queue. Unlike Hiver in Gmail, which works inside Gmail, Hiver Omni is a standalone platform with its own interface.
