Agent
AI support that's 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.
Instant answers, powered by Compass.
Help Scout's AI engine, Compass, learns from your content, follows your guardrails, and handles the conversations you choose — whether that’s each one, only specific types, 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. Compass will be able to learn from the Inboxes, conversations, notes, and replies you select so it can reply like your team.
Apps Coming Soon!
Compass will connect to 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!
With roles, you’ll be able to customize Compass’s voice and tone for specific Inboxes or Beacons so every conversation has the right vibe, whether it’s a billing issue or a sales question.
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.
Pass your security review
Help Scout is SOC 2 Type 2 certified, HIPAA compliant, and never trains AI with your data.
Audit any conversation
You’ll always have visibility into AI conversations, including a full breakdown of the knowledge sources that informed them.
Choose how Compass shows up across channels.
Give customers a path to instant help anywhere they’re starting conversations. Assign Compass to a channel and control exactly where (and when) it’s available.
Website
Let visitors start chats directly from any page. You can lead with AI or present it as one of multiple ways to get support.
In-app
Embed Compass inside your web or mobile app so users can get assistance right where they run into issues.
Email Coming Soon!
When emails arrive that Compass can confidently answer, it jumps in to give your team a leg up in the queue.
