The AI agent resolves tickets, edits orders, drafts replies, summarizes threads, auto-translates 40+ languages. If you run subscriptions on Recharge, Skio, Loop, Stay.ai, Kaching, or Appstle, it all works inside the helpdesk inbox. Unlimited agents, even on Free plan.

The review-count trajectory is the diff between today’s snapshot and snapshots from 7 and 28 days ago. Topic counts and sentiment come from the review corpus, topic-tagged with Claude. Install footprint is observed via Ongoing.AI’s tech-detection pass against actively-tracked Shopify storefronts. Catalog position is computed at snapshot time against every active app sharing the primary category. Snapshot generated .
