HeyDesk

HeyDesk provides a cutting-edge solution for SMBs to elevate their customer service with emotionally intelligent AI agents. These AI agents are available around the clock, ensuring that no call is missed and every customer interaction is handled efficiently and empathetically. Leveraging Niimi Empathic AI, HeyDesk agents understand not just what customers say, but how they feel, adapting their tone and pace to provide a truly personalized experience. This eliminates the need for complex IVR menus and offers natural, conversational interactions that make customers feel heard.

How to use HeyDesk

Setting up HeyDesk is a straightforward, 5-minute process designed for self-service without requiring an IT team. First, you upload your business information, such as menus, services, FAQs, and pricing, in any format, which the AI then ingests and understands. Next, you configure your AI agent by naming it, choosing a distinct voice, and uploading your photo to generate an avatar. You can even optionally clone your own voice for a more personalized touch. Finally, you go live by embedding the voice and chat widget on your website, sharing a QR code, or connecting your existing phone number.
