What is SupportHQ? The AI Support Agent for Web, Telegram & Discord
SupportHQ is an AI support agent platform built for teams that want faster answers without sacrificing trust.
Instead of a generic chatbot that guesses what users mean, SupportHQ trains an agent on your own knowledge base and support content. The agent answers customers on your website, in Telegram, and in Discord, and routes the conversation to your team when it needs human judgment.
What makes it an agent, not a chatbot
A chatbot produces a reply for every input. An agent makes decisions first. Here is what a SupportHQ agent decides on its own:
When to look something up. The agent searches your knowledge base when a question calls for it, and answers only from content you approved. When it doesn’t know, it says so instead of guessing. (More on this in AI agent vs chatbot.)
Whether to speak at all. You can write plain-English rules per channel: only reply when mentioned, only answer product questions, stay out of team threads. That’s what makes the agent usable in a busy Telegram group or Discord server, where a reply-to-everything bot would be noise.
When to get a human. The agent escalates on its own initiative, writing its own reason, urgency level, and summary of the thread. Your team gets alerted by email, Telegram, or SMS. See human handoff workflows for how to design the rules.
When to step back. The moment a teammate replies in a conversation, the agent goes quiet on that thread. No talking over your team.
One agent, three channels
The same agent, with the same knowledge base and the same rules, works everywhere your customers already are:
- Your website, through an embeddable chat widget you install with one script tag
- Telegram, in private chats and groups
- Discord, in servers and DMs
Every conversation from every channel lands in one unified inbox, with full history and context for your team.
Grounded by default
The agent answers from a knowledge base you build from four kinds of sources:
- Files: PDFs, Word documents, Markdown, and plain text
- Your website: point SupportHQ at your site and select the pages to sync
- Articles: write or edit content directly in the dashboard
- Past conversations: turn a thread your team answered into a knowledge base article, so the agent learns from your best replies
Guardrails against hallucination and prompt injection are platform-managed and ship with every agent. You don’t write them. Every reply is also auditable: SupportHQ stores the exact instructions behind each answer, so you can always see what the agent was told.
If you’re starting from zero, how to build an AI knowledge base and how to train an AI support agent on your docs walk through the setup.
What your team sees
SupportHQ isn’t just the customer-facing agent. Your team gets:
- A unified inbox for every conversation across all channels, with the ability to reply as a human at any time
- An escalation queue: which conversations the agent flagged, why, how urgent, and whether anyone answered
- Analytics: conversations, auto-replies, escalations, and period-over-period comparison, so you can see what the agent deflected and where your docs have gaps
- Data export: conversations, knowledge base, and configuration as JSON, CSV, or Markdown
What you can use SupportHQ for
- Answer “how do I” questions with consistent, grounded responses
- Support your community in Telegram groups and Discord servers without the noise
- Handle onboarding and troubleshooting questions without adding support load
- Keep policy and billing explanations consistent across conversations
- Qualify sales questions in the same conversation where the customer already is
- Route escalations to your team with clear context
The agent also speaks your customer’s language automatically: it replies in whatever language the question arrives in, with no configuration.
How to get value quickly
Most teams start with their top recurring questions:
- FAQ and help center content
- Onboarding docs
- Troubleshooting guides
- Policies (refunds, cancellations, access)
From there, you launch the agent on one channel, watch the conversations, and improve the knowledge base weekly. What to automate first has a practical rollout order, and preventing AI hallucinations covers the guardrail habits that keep quality high.
Pricing
SupportHQ starts at $29/month with no per-seat pricing and no per-resolution fees. Pricing scales with usage, not headcount, and there’s a 14-day refund window. See pricing for the full breakdown.
