About

Support that respects the customer's time — and the team's

helpo started from a simple frustration: the answer was always in the docs, but the customer was still waiting. We're building the layer that closes that gap.

Principles

What we believe

Four rules that shape every product decision.

Grounded, or silent

An AI that guesses costs more trust than it saves time. helpo cites its sources or hands off — it never invents an answer.

Humans stay in the loop

Automation should make your team faster, not invisible. Takeover is one click and always available.

One system, not four

Knowledge, chat, inbox and tickets belong together. The seams between tools are where customers fall through.

Tenant isolation is a feature

Your data is scoped to your organization at every layer — database, vectors, realtime — not as a policy, as an architecture.

Origin

The story

We ran support for a product with excellent documentation and still answered the same twenty questions every day. Chatbots of the time either couldn't read our docs or made things up with confidence.

Retrieval changed that. When a model can quote your own words back to a customer — and admit when it can't — the whole shape of a support team changes. Fewer repetitive tickets, more time for the conversations that actually need a person.

helpo is that idea, built end to end: ingestion, retrieval, a widget, an inbox and a ticket queue that all share one source of truth. We're a small, distributed team and we use helpo to support helpo.
