About

Why ChatterMate exists

ChatterMate asks what customer support looks like when you build it today, with AI at the core instead of added on. An AI agent, a shared inbox, tickets and a help center in one open-source platform.

Built by Runix B and the ChatterMate team

What we make

An AI agent

It answers from your knowledge, acts in your app and hands off to a person.

A shared inbox

Every channel lands in one place, with the AI and your team side by side.

The support around it

Tickets that investigate, a help center, lead capture and journeys.
