About Freshdesk
Freshdesk is customer support software from Freshworks. It unifies requests from email, chat, phone and social into a single ticketing system, then helps agents resolve them faster with automations, a shared inbox, a knowledge base and AI.
Its appeal is a capable helpdesk that's quick to set up and scales with your team: start on a free or low tier, then add automations, multi-channel support and Freddy AI as your support volume grows.
