io + DeskFerry score and qualify leads around the clock, ensuring no opportunity is missed even outside business hours.
Teams typically see under 60s from inbound to first reply once the agent is in production. You stay in control: every action is logged, confidence thresholds are configurable, and anything ambiguous is queued for a human instead of being silently auto-completed.
How you tell it what to do
Built in plain English.
You write the rule the way you'd describe it to a teammate. The agent reads the rule, breaks it into the actions it'll take, and confirms the apps it'll touch — before it does anything.
