Your chats, on your phone and tablet.

Ricky is now on the App Store. On iPad, the chat list and conversation sit side by side, adapting to the orientation and window size. On iPhone, messages you send appear in the conversation immediately.

See what your agent is doing, as it happens.

The chat shows when the agent is thinking, which tools it uses and the steps it has completed. When it starts replying, you see its answer take shape.

Web · Team

Your team and your AI can see your availability.

Mark yourself as available or away from your account. Your teammates can see the status, and the agent receives it, too. Your agent’s instructions decide how it uses that information when handing off a conversation.

Web · Chat ratings

Find the conversations that need a closer look.

Ricky rates finished conversations from 1 to 5 and explains the result in one sentence, without sending surveys. In Reports → Service, you can see the average, recurring signals and open chats with low ratings. Conversations need at least two customer messages and two business replies; no score is assigned when there are not enough signals.

Web · Teamwork

Keep the context in the chat.

Write an internal note from the message toolbar so your team knows how to follow up. The customer never receives it. You can edit your own notes, and teammates see the changes in the conversation.

The “Unanswered” filter brings together chats still waiting for attention. In Reports → Now, open the pending chats assigned to each person or agent, starting with the longest wait. The inbox and report use the same definition of waiting.

AI agents

Keep answering while your team takes over.

Previously, the agent stopped replying as soon as it handed a chat to a person. Now it keeps helping until someone takes the conversation. The agent can also see which handoff teammates are online when choosing who to pass the chat to.
