Add AI Agents to Your Help Scout Inbox
AGO integrates with Help Scout to automate email support, provide instant responses, and help your team handle more conversations without sacrificing the personal touch Help Scout is known for.
What is the AGO + Help Scout Integration?
The AGO Help Scout integration brings AI-powered support directly into your Help Scout mailbox. When emails arrive, AGO analyzes the content, understands customer intent, and either responds automatically or assists your team with draft replies and relevant information.
Help Scout is beloved for its human, personal approach to customer support. AGO enhances this by handling routine inquiries automatically while ensuring complex or sensitive conversations go directly to your team. The result is faster response times without losing the personal connection your customers expect.
AGO works within Help Scout's workflow. Conversations stay in Help Scout, your saved replies are enhanced with AI, and your team continues using the interface they know. AGO adds intelligence to your existing process rather than replacing it.
Benefits of AGO with Help Scout

AGO automatically resolves common inquiries, freeing your team to focus on conversations that truly need a human touch. Most teams see 40-60% of conversations handled without agent involvement.
Instant Response, Always
Every email gets an immediate, helpful response. Even when escalation is needed, customers know their message was received and understood while they wait for your team.
Preserve Help Scout's Personal Feel
AGO responses match your brand voice and tone. Configure the AI to write like your team writes, maintaining the personal, human support experience Help Scout users love.
Works with Your Existing Setup

Why AGO for Help Scout?
Help Scout users choose the platform because they value personal, human support. AGO is designed to preserve that ethos while adding automation. Our AI writes naturally, avoids robotic language, and knows when to step back for human handling.
AGO integrates deeply with Help Scout's features. We work with Docs for knowledge, saved replies for consistency, workflows for process, and reporting for insights. AGO becomes part of your Help Scout environment, not a separate system.
For small to mid-size teams, Help Scout + AGO is a powerful combination. You get the personal support experience Help Scout enables with the scale that AI automation provides, without the complexity of enterprise platforms.
