Overview

What is LiveAgent?

LiveAgent is a customer support help desk platform that combines ticket management, live chat, call center capabilities, social messaging, and knowledge base tools in one workspace. It helps businesses manage customer interactions from multiple channels by converting requests into trackable tickets that teams can assign, automate, and resolve.


  1. Omnichannel help desk: LiveAgent brings communication channels such as email, live chat, phone, social media, and messaging into a unified support environment where agents can manage customer conversations and ticket workflows.
  2. Ticketing and automation: teams can organize customer requests using ticket queues, automation rules, routing, tags, SLAs, and workflow tools designed to improve response management and support consistency.
  3. Customer self-service: LiveAgent provides knowledge base, customer portal, and FAQ capabilities that allow businesses to help customers find answers independently while reducing repetitive support requests.
  4. AI-assisted support: LiveAgent’s AI features help agents with tasks such as drafting replies, summarizing conversations, categorizing requests, and improving support workflows while keeping human agents responsible for customer decisions.


LiveAgent is most suitable for businesses that need a multi-channel help desk combining ticketing, communication tools, automation, and self-service features without managing separate systems for each support channel.
