Freshworks Integration

← Back

Customers lose momentum when they have to leave your app to search a help center or wait for agents. The Brainfish + Freshworks integration brings answers to where the question happens. Brainfish syncs your Freshdesk knowledge base automatically, powers in-product guidance with AI support agents for in-product help, and surfaces insights through customer analytics. The result is fast, accurate AI customer service that reduces tickets and improves the experience for your users and team.
