What it does
Freddy AI is the AI built into Freshworks products, including Freshdesk, its customer service software. Support teams use Freddy AI Agents to resolve routine requests like refunds or subscription changes across chat, messaging apps, and email; Freshworks says these agents can resolve up to 80 percent of incoming queries. Freddy Copilot helps human agents by summarizing conversations, translating messages, and drafting replies in the workspace they already use. An AI Agent Studio lets admins build and adjust agents without writing code. It connects to common business tools like Shopify, Stripe, and PayPal to pull order and payment details into a conversation.
Where it can help
This fits a company already running Freshdesk, since the AI features build directly on tickets and data already in that system without a new platform. Freshworks does not publish clear per-feature AI pricing, so treat any number as a planning estimate and confirm current plan and add-on costs with Freshworks or a partner. A reasonable pilot turns on Freddy Copilot for one support team first, assisting a human agent, then adds autonomous AI Agents for a narrow, well-documented request type like order status. Freshworks' resolution rates come from its own case studies, so verify accuracy on your own ticket types during a trial rather than assuming the published percentage carries over.

What you need first
What you need firstSet up the basics
Confirm current product identity, commercial packaging, data processing terms, sign-in and access rules, retention, integrations, support model, implementation effort, and rollback conditions.

Recommended next action
Do not approve a pilot yet. Verify the current product identity, package, availability, owner, pricing, and security evidence; then define one workflow, a baseline, and rollback criteria.

Risk profile
Required controls
Security and safe use
Confirm encryption, how the vendor uses your data, customer data separation, how long data stays and how to delete it, activity records, sign-in and user setup, where data is handled, other companies that process data, past incidents, and what your team must manage.
Exit and rollback
Export intents, prompts, playbooks, knowledge mappings, channel and routing configuration, action schemas, evaluations, transcripts, recordings, and audit history from Freshworks Freddy AI. Customer records should remain in the CRM or service system, but trained behavior and orchestration will need rebuilding; require API access, deletion certification, and an overlap period for handoffs and actions.
Recommended next step
Do not approve a pilot yet. Verify the current product identity, package, availability, owner, pricing, and security evidence; then define one workflow, a baseline, and rollback criteria.
