AI workflow

Adaptive AI for faster resolutions.

Every resolution counts — save more with every ticket. Intercom's Fin AI handles chat deflection but falls short on structured tickets. Zoona AI is built in from day one, learns as it goes, and handles the full journey from first message to closed ticket.

Intercom

Chat-first AI — not built for tickets.

Fin AI deflects simple chat but can't handle structured tickets. Conversations stall and handoffs lose context. Every resolution costs $0.99.

SparrowDesk

Zoona AI learns, assists, and resolves — from day one.

Picks up your tone and FAQs with every interaction. Copilot gives agents instant summaries and smart suggestions. Full-context handoffs, no repeated questions — at $0.49/resolution.
