Freddy AI Agent is an AI-powered customer support and sales assistant developed by Freshworks.

It’s designed to automate customer interactions, suggest contextual replies to agents, and streamline service workflows across the Freshdesk and Freshsales product suites. Freddy AI Agent blends Generative AI with predictive analytics, helping teams deflect repetitive inquiries, personalize responses, and improve case-resolution speed - all while staying within Freshworks’ native ecosystem.

Summary

Freddy AI Agent enhances the Freshworks ecosystem with built-in AI for faster responses, predictive routing, and conversational automation.
