Capabilities

Built on a modern AI stack

Every detail engineered for accuracy, speed and trust — with full control over your data.

01

Multi-agent orchestrator

Inspired by how Claude Code works: a planner agent invokes specialised agents (search, data, tool, web) in parallel and synthesises the answer.

02

Semantic reranker + citations

Hybrid retrieval with a reranker model. Every claim links back to the source document and the exact page.

03

Decision-tree generator

Troubleshooting trees are generated automatically from your knowledge base, then refined with real interactions.

04

Live handoff and tickets

Sessions can hand off to a human operator at any time, and auto-escalate to tickets when the AI is uncertain.

05

Continuous retraining

Feedback loop with star ratings, outcome labels and gap detection. Knowledge improves week after week.

06

Data connectors

Sync content from SharePoint, Google Drive, Confluence and Notion. Schedule, scope and credentials per source.

07

Webhooks and REST API

Every platform action is exposed via a versioned REST API and signed webhooks (X-Helpcode-Signature, replay-safe).

08

Embeddable widget + QR

Drop a script tag on any site or print a QR code on the device — a single line, full white-label support.

09

GDPR-ready

EU hosting, per-organisation data isolation, encryption at rest, data export and erasure flows out of the box.
