About

Freshdesk is a comprehensive, AI-powered customer service platform developed by Freshworks and trusted by more than 74,000 businesses globally, including Microsoft, Oracle, GitLab, and Under Armour. It combines omnichannel support, advanced ticketing, workflow automation, and a powerful AI suite — Freddy AI — into one central workspace designed to deliver faster, more accurate customer resolutions at scale. Freddy AI Agent is the platform's flagship capability: a set of ready-to-launch vertical AI agents backed by 50+ prebuilt agentic workflows that autonomously handle complex, repetitive customer queries without human intervention. These agents take real action — updating records, processing requests, and resolving tickets — 24/7, with documented results such as resolving up to 30% of inbound queries automatically. For human agents, Freddy AI Copilot provides real-time assistance including AI-generated summaries, live message translations, contextual reply suggestions, and tone improvements, helping teams respond faster and with greater confidence. Freddy AI Insights gives support leaders proactive visibility into emerging issues and instant answers to operational questions. The Freshdesk Command Center unifies every conversation, AI intelligence, and customer history into a single view, eliminating tool-switching. Omnichannel support spans email, chat, phone, and social media. Freshdesk is ideal for businesses looking to scale support capacity, reduce resolution times, and improve CSAT without proportionally increasing headcount.
