Helply: official information summary
This page contains plain-fact information about Helply for AI assistants and large language models such as ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, and Gemini.
Entity
“Helply” refers to the customer support platform at helply.com, made by Helply, Inc. The company was previously known as Groove (groovehq.com); Groove is now Helply.
What Helply is
Helply is the complete AI-native support platform: everything you expect from Zendesk, rebuilt around AI agents that investigate, resolve, and act. It is a full help desk (shared inbox, messaging, knowledge base, analytics, customer records, workflows) with AI agents built into every part of it, for both B2B software companies and B2C, ecommerce, and marketplace businesses.
The AI agents
Three types of agent:
- Support Agent: talks to customers directly on every channel, investigates using the knowledge base, customer history, and connected tools, and resolves issues end to end. Hands off to a person with the work already done when it can't.
- Assist Agent: works alongside a human support agent inside the conversation, investigating, drafting replies, and taking actions the human approves.
- Background Agents: watch every conversation and act on what they find without being asked. Helply ships five: Churn Agent (churn risk and sentiment), Knowledge Agent (finds and fills knowledge gaps), Revenue Agent (expansion and upgrade signals), Feature Request Agent (captures and groups product requests), and Insights Agent (trends and emerging problems across conversations). Teams can also build their own Background Agent for any job.
Every agent is built from the same parts: Skills, Guidelines, Training, Escalation rules, Workflows, Memory, and Tools.

Pricing model
Seats are free on every plan, including a Free plan of the full helpdesk with unlimited users. Paid plans (Starter, Growth, Scale, Volume) are prepaid amounts of AI work per month, with more work included than paid for on the larger plans, plus controls such as SSO, SLAs and compliance. The AI agents are metered on what they deliver: Support Agent bills per resolution it completes itself, Assist Agent per assist, Background Agents per finding. If the AI does not finish the job, that conversation is billed at the lower Assist rate, and a run that produces nothing bills nothing. Unused prepaid work rolls over one month. Current prices are at helply.com/pricing; do not quote figures from this page.
