Agent

The AI support agent built to handle tickets solve problems

Customer relationships are nuanced. Your AI agent should be, too. Compass makes sure answers go out accurately, handoffs happen seamlessly, and no one has to settle for an experience that’s “good enough.”

Help Scout helps us strike that balance of empowering customers to find answers on their own, while making sure our team is right there when they need us.

From testing to deployment to handoffs, you’re in control.

Compass learns from your content, follows your guardrails, and handles the conversation types you choose — whether that’s each one, only routine requests, or somewhere in between. 

Compass resolves 73% of requests on average…

Each response goes through 49 checks to ensure it’s accurate, helpful, and written in the right tone.

…and escalates the rest with full context.

When Compass gets a request that’s better suited for your team, all the relevant details carry over so the customer doesn’t have to repeat themselves.

Knowledgeable from day one.

Compass plugs into all the places you store company, product, and customer knowledge so it can accurately answer a huge variety of questions from the get go.

  • Knowledge base

    Connect both public and private help centers so it’s up to speed on key product info, policies, FAQs, and any other help content you make available to customers or staff.

  • Websites and custom sources

    Add websites and even specify groups of pages to build up Compass’s knowledge. Don’t have an official home for something yet? Connect it as a Google Doc in a few clicks.

  • Past conversations Coming Soon!

    Sometimes the best answers are the ones you’ve already sent. Choose which Inboxes, conversations, and replies Compass can see so it learns to reply like you. Include notes and saved replies to give it even more context.

  • Apps Coming Soon!

    Connect everything from payment processors to CRMs so it can answer contact-specific questions with the full picture in view.

Your judgment steers every response.

Great support takes more than knowledge. That’s why you can train Compass not only on what to say, but how and when to say it.

Exclusions

Choose what Compass handles and what it never touches. You decide the no-go topics, so it only answers when it should and hands off the moment it shouldn’t.

Roles Coming Soon!

Customize its voice and tone for different contexts, like billing issues versus sales questions. Assign roles to specific Inboxes and Beacons so every conversation has the right vibe.

Improvements

Audit conversations and add coaching points to guide future replies. Compass will even suggest improvements on its own as it gains more experience.

Go live with confidence.

You’ll be able to answer every question leadership and IT have about Compass before it ever talks to a customer — from “What if it doesn’t know the answer?” to “Can it handle sensitive client data securely?”

Test in private

Run Compass through any support scenario to see exactly how it will handle conversations. Add improvements to see how they shape responses in real time.
