The Agent Assist App
The Agent Assist app empowers your agents through real-time assistance with access to conversation history and user details by embedding a web widget of Freshchat directly into the conversation inbox. This allows agents to use the widget seamlessly to communicate with a bot, which assists them in addressing customer inquiries efficiently. This streamlined approach significantly enhances the overall effectiveness of your customer support team by improving agent performance and quality of customer service, leading to higher customer satisfaction.
