AI Agent for Chat Support — Built for Freelancer
Automate Chat Support for teams using Freelancer. DeskFerry agents handle the workflow end-to-end — no code, set up in minutes.
84 chats handled overnight. Sample resolution:
Customer
“Hey — my Slack agent stopped firing after I rotated the workspace token yesterday. Anything I need to do on my end?”
Agent draft · in your tone
Hi Lara — totally normal, the new token needs a quick re-auth. I've sent a one-click reconnect link to your DeskFerry inbox; once you tap it the agent will pick up where it left off (no re-training needed).
How does Freelancer work for Chat Support automation?
Freelancer works for Chat Support automation by powering a DeskFerry agent that runs the workflow end-to-end inside your existing tools — no code, no custom build.
- 01
Trigger fires
The agent connects to Freelancer alongside the other apps your team already uses, watches for the triggers that matter for Chat Support, and takes the next step on its own while keeping a complete audit trail for review.
- 02
Answer live @Intercom chats using @Freelancer in our brand voice
AI handles common questions immediately, reducing wait times to zero for routine inquiries.
- 03
Escalate the rest with full context to @Zendesk
Teams typically see instant around the clock once the agent is in production.
- 04
You approve
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.

Human in the loop
Approve before it sends.
Every draft lands in a review queue. You approve, edit, or reject — the agent never acts on its own unless you explicitly turn that on for a workflow you trust.
Governance
Every action, with the reasoning attached.
Each step the agent takes is logged with what it did, why it did it, and which app it touched. Audit-ready, so security and compliance can sign off without backfilling.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions

All data exchanged between Freelancer and DeskFerry during Chat Support processing is encrypted in transit and at rest. We use OAuth tokens for Freelancer access, never store raw credentials, and maintain full audit logs of every Chat Support action.
