About Gorgias
From helpdesk-with-AI to AI-native helpdesk — Gorgias collapses its product story around the AI Agent.
Gorgias is publishing in dense bursts across three streams at once: AI-native product surfaces (MCP for Claude and ChatGPT, AI Agent pricing transparency, Helpdesk 2.0), original benchmark content (Ecom Lab, 2026 Conversational Commerce Report), and a steady ecommerce-support how-to library. The AI Agent is now the centerpiece; older helpdesk fundamentals get repositioned around it.
