Kayako
Scale Support. Not Headcount.·kayako.com
Kayako is an AI-first customer support platform combining an omnichannel help desk (email, chat, social, voice) with an AI agent called Kay that triages, drafts replies, and autonomously resolves support tickets. It offers a full platform (Kayako One) with ticketing, shared inbox, knowledge base, automation and analytics, or the Kay AI agent can be layered onto an existing help desk such as Zendesk, Freshdesk, Intercom, or Salesforce. Implementation is delivered by Kayako's own team in phased rollouts (triage, answers, autonomous resolution).
