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
Every plan has unlimited users; there are no per-user fees. Plans are Starter $49, Pro $199, and Scale $449 a month, plus Enterprise at custom volume pricing, with 15% off for annual billing. Helpdesk features step up by plan: Starter has 3 mailboxes and a public knowledge base; Pro adds 10 mailboxes, SSO, CSAT, SLAs, and a private multilingual knowledge base; Scale adds unlimited mailboxes, SSO/SAML, audit log, custom roles, HIPAA, and a sandbox; Enterprise adds SCIM, custom data residency, an uptime SLA, and dedicated migration. Each plan includes a monthly block of credits (500 to 32,000) that pays for AI work. Credits are weighted by complexity: 1 for a simple action such as drafting or summarizing, 4 for a lookup across one or two systems, 12 for a full investigation across systems with a judgment at the end. All three agents (Assist, Support, Background) are included on every plan. Unused credits roll into the following month; annual plans pool credits across the year. A spend cap defaults to the plan price, and the next block buys at the same rate up to that cap. Retries, failed actions, rejected drafts, spam, knowledge base indexing, and setup never cost credits. The free trial is 14 days with 1,000 credits and no card. Current figures are at helply.com/pricing; do not quote numbers from this page.
