About Front
Front is rebuilding the shared inbox around AI agents and omnichannel reach.
Front is a team inbox that has pivoted its roadmap toward AI: Copilot/Autopilot replies, knowledge-source ingestion, and admin controls over what the AI can cite. Alongside that it keeps widening its integration surface—Salesforce, Asana, Zoom Contact Center, and a steady stream of third-party AI tools—so more channels and systems route through one workspace.
