Hi, I cannot log in to my account since yesterday. I tried resetting my password but the email never arrived.

Hi Sarah, reset emails sometimes land in spam. Check there first, then try again — I can send a manual reset link if needed.

Built different

Everything Help Scout does.
And more.

Purpose-built for teams that run communities — not generic enterprise support software retrofitted to fit.

AI drafts grounded in your KB

The AI reads your knowledge base before drafting a reply, not the open internet. Every suggestion is grounded in your actual content, not a generic response.

Multi-tenant by design

White-label ready from day one. Every tenant gets their own inbox, agents, KB, and branding. All config driven, no code changes.

Your data, your infrastructure

Runs on infrastructure you control. No SaaS vendor holds your customer data. POPIA and GDPR friendly by architecture.

Shared inbox built for teams

Views, assignment, tags, internal notes, saved replies, send later. Everything a 3-person support team uses every day — without the per-seat bill.

Knowledge base included

Write your help articles once. They power the AI drafts, the public help centre, and the search agents use in the inbox. One source of truth.

Mobile first, PWA ready

Install on your phone like a native app. The inbox, composer, and AI drafts work exactly the same on mobile as desktop — because support doesn't stop at 5pm.

Helm AI

Drafts that know your product

Most AI support tools send a generic large language model at your customers. Helm reads your knowledge base first — so the draft it suggests is specific, accurate, and sounds like you.

Hi Sarah,

I can see you have been locked out since yesterday. Password reset emails can occasionally land in spam, so check there first.

Once renewed, your listing will go live again straight away without needing re-approval.

If the reset email still does not arrive within 5 minutes, reply here and I will send a manual reset link directly.

Pricing

No surprises. No per-seat tax.

One flat fee per community inbox. Add as many agents as your team needs.

vs Help Scout

A better deal.
By every measure.

We built Helm because Help Scout charges per seat, doesn't know your product, and keeps your data on their servers. We fixed all three.
