Connect ChatGPT with Freshdesk in just a few minutes

The secret to great support is showing up for your customers 24/7. If they land on your website with an urgent question, they expect an answer straight away.

Freshdesk gives your customer support team a fantastic tool for speaking with customers. But most of the time it involves a person responding to your customers.

Which means to offer the support customers expect, you need support people working around the clock.

That’s a huge cost for any business. So usually, when a customer has a pressing question outside of business hours, they’ll get a message that recommends they get back in touch during business hours.

But what if ChatGPT could help our customers?

ChatGPT and GPT-4 are AI models developed by OpenAI. And they can revolutionize how we offer support.

What does ChatGPT and Freshdesk look like?

With ChatGPT and Freshdesk, you’ll get a chatbot that can speak to your customers and answer their questions just like someone from your team would.

This is how it happens: Your customer visits your helpdesk where they’re greeted by a chat widget. They type a question in, ChatGPT interprets it, finds an answer based on your helpdesk, then answers their questions.

Imagine an ✨ AI oracle ✨ that can answer any question based on whatever your customers type – just like your best people can.

Why Integrate ChatGPT with Freshdesk?

  1. Around the clock support: Your customers type a question, your ChatGPT AI answers them straight away. A ChatGPT AI can be there at all times.
  2. Give your people some thinking space: With ChatGPT and Freshdesk answering the time-consuming repetitive questions, your customer service team can tackle the more complicated questions.
  3. Brilliant customer service: ChatGPT can give your Freshdesk human-level responses. You can train it on the past responses of your best people too. So it’ll respond just like they do.
  4. Give new starters a leg up: If you have a new team member, a ChatGPT AI trained on your company’s documentation can point them in the right direction for answers, helping them start well in your company.
  5. Peace of mind: With a focus on privacy, EU data residency support, and a commitment to not using data to train models, your information remains secure.
