Letterbook
Letterbook is an AI-native customer support platform built for startups and lean teams. It connects to a company's inbox, database, and Stripe, then uses AI to triage tickets, draft resolutions, and build a knowledge base - all reviewed by a human before sending. Founded in 2023 by Dawson Chen and Ethan Hou and backed by Y Combinator (S23), it positions itself as the modern alternative to Zendesk, Freshdesk, Intercom, and Front.
Atlas
Atlas is an AI-first customer support platform that pitches itself as a modern replacement for Intercom and Zendesk. It combines ticketing, an omnichannel inbox (chat, email, WhatsApp, SMS, Slack Connect, Discord), session recording, customer timelines, a help center and AI agents (Autopilot and Copilot) so support teams can resolve issues faster by understanding customers more completely. Founded in 2021 by Jon O'Bryan and Rahul Asati and backed by Y Combinator (W22), Atlas is built around the idea that great support drives growth rather than being a cost center.
