  • Try it free and pilot one queue before you move anything
  • AI that learns from your own knowledge and systems

The AI answers questions that need your own systems, and each system you connect raises the share of cases it resolves. In this example a customer asks about an order. The AI confirms their identity with a code sent to their email, looks up the order in your order system and replies that it shipped yesterday and arrives Thursday. The customer then asks to cancel their subscription; the AI, with identity already confirmed, cancels it in your billing system. A chart of cases resolved by AI over time steps up from 31 to 46 percent when the order system is connected, and to 62 percent when the billing system is connected.

Zendesk pricing, decoded

The Suite price is where the invoice starts, not where it ends

Zendesk charges per agent per month, sells Copilot as an add-on and bills its AI agent per automated resolution. Replyful charges per user and per ticket the AI resolves, the same prices as on our pricing page.

See knowledge gaps in a demo

Replyful automatically analyses conversations and groups similar unanswered questions. In this example, 12 questions reveal one knowledge gap: where to find and download invoices. Your team sees the missing information without reading each conversation. A support teammate adds the invoice download instructions and saves the answer, closing the knowledge gap.
