AI agents for messaging in mobile SDKs

AI agents for messaging can be a part of your mobile support offering. Our mobile SDKs make it easy to integrate into any mobile app, answering customer questions in-context without them ever having to leave the app or disrupt their experience. Users can mark the articles as "solving" their issues, or indicate they still need help and want to escalate their issue to a Support ticket.
