Pricing Structure

AI Agent Platform: Starting from $1 per resolution

Alternative Consideration

Consider switching to Zendesk: Zendesk offers a more traditional customer service platform with extensive features but lacks the same level of AI-driven automation.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does Typewise compare to Zendesk AI for customer service automation?

Zendesk is a full helpdesk suite that added AI features on top of its existing ticketing platform. Typewise is a standalone AI orchestration layer designed to sit above your existing systems, including Zendesk itself. Typewise integrates with Zendesk as one of its 200+ connectors, so you can use both together. The key difference is pricing: Zendesk charges per agent, while Typewise uses outcome-based pricing starting at $1 per resolution.

How long does Typewise take to deploy?

Typewise claims most teams go live within 1-2 days. The typical path is: create your first AI agent on day one, launch on one channel with human review in week one, expand channels and agents in weeks two and three, then scale across teams by week four. There are no implementation fees. The platform uses natural language configuration rather than coded decision trees, which cuts setup time significantly.

Does Typewise work with legacy enterprise systems?

Yes. Typewise offers 200+ pre-built integrations for CRM, ERP, billing, and ticketing platforms including Salesforce, SAP, Microsoft Dynamics 365, Zendesk, ServiceNow, and Freshdesk. For systems that cannot be automated directly (such as legacy mainframe screens), the platform uses a manual action handoff: the AI pauses, a human completes that step, and the AI resumes. MCP-native architecture adds access to 6,000+ additional connectors.

What ROI can companies expect from Typewise?

Typewise reports that enterprise customers typically see 5-10x ROI in the first year through automated resolution and higher CSAT scores. Using the AI Assistant alone (without full agentic automation), companies report 3-4x ROI from reduced average handling time. DPD reported a 30% increase in efficiency, IVECO achieved 25% workload automation, and Planzer saw 17% efficiency gains. The outcome-based pricing model (starting at $1 per resolution) means you pay only for tickets the AI resolves.

Is Typewise secure enough for regulated industries?

Typewise holds ISO 27001 certification and is GDPR and EU AI Act compliant. Data is hosted on AWS or Azure in the EU, Switzerland, or the US, depending on client requirements. EU-only processing is available. All databases are encrypted at rest, and all traffic uses TLS/SSL in transit. The platform undergoes annual third-party penetration testing. However, Typewise does not list SOC 2 certification, which may be a requirement for some US-based enterprises.

Does Typewise train its AI models on customer data?

Typewise states on its security page that it does not use customer data for training outside the customer's own tenancy without explicit agreement. Each client gets a company-specific AI language model trained on their historical communications, but that training stays within the customer's environment. The platform operates as a GDPR data processor with data-minimization and retention controls.

What languages does Typewise support?

Typewise supports any language for both input and output. The platform handles multilingual customer service natively, which is a core feature for European and global enterprises. The original keyboard product supported 40+ languages, and the enterprise platform builds on that foundation. IVECO specifically cited multilingual support as a key reason for choosing Typewise for their breakdown assistance service.

How does Typewise handle cases the AI cannot resolve?

Typewise uses what it calls Hybrid Intelligence. You define automation levels and hand-off criteria for each workflow. When a case hits low confidence, high risk, or a policy exception, the AI can request human approval, hand off a single step while retaining the ticket, or escalate entirely. Partial resolutions are tracked separately so you can see where humans add the most value. The goal is gradual automation expansion as confidence builds.
