Parahelp is an AI support agent built for fast-moving software companies. Set up Parahelp in just 1 day without any engineers to automate your complex support tickets end-to-end. It integrates with your existing ticketing system (such as Zendesk, Intercom, Front), knowledge sources, tools (like Stripe, Slack, Linear), and policies.

We're building Parahelp because we believe context—not intelligence—will be the primary bottleneck for AI agents automating high-impact work in the future.

Our current focus: Building an AI support agent that can automate highly complex support tickets end-to-end.

Our mission: Build AI agents that leverage context from customer conversations to automate high-impact work across support, success, product, and engineering.

Our momentum:

• Launched in August 2024.
• Working with leading software companies like Perplexity, Framer, Replit, and HeyGen.
• Backed by Y Combinator, Paul Graham, Perplexity Fund, Hidden Capital, and founders of Replit, Framer, Calm, ElevenLabs, Runway, Speak, Zendesk, etc.
