A side-by-side editorial comparison of Gorgias and Re:amaze — release velocity, themes, recent moves, and the top alternatives to consider.
Gorgias compares AI productivity in support teams with the Magnificent 7.
Gorgias's feed is its blog. The newest post compares revenue per support agent at ecommerce brands, up 27% in two years, with revenue per employee at the Magnificent 7, up 40%. Before that came an October 5 batch of guides and a public benchmark of 12 AI agents across 200+ live stores. The last product entries are June's AI Agent Actions and May's MCP server.
Re:amaze has rebuilt itself around an AI agent that now handles email, chat, and SMS without human involvement.
Re:amaze has shipped a comprehensive AI support layer over the past year and a half: an AI agent that handles conversations autonomously, AI-powered intent detection that routes by what customers actually mean rather than keywords, and an AI Pre-Filter that triages inboxes before humans see them. The product is no longer a helpdesk with AI features—it's positioning as AI-first support with human escalation as the edge case.

Gorgias is building a data-led case for AI in support rather than shipping visible releases through this feed. Product news has been absent since June.
The entries do not show the next release; more benchmark and productivity research is the visible pattern.

The expansion to SMS for the AI agent is the clearest directional signal: Re:amaze is building toward a single AI agent that handles customer conversations regardless of channel. Each release has extended either the agent's capability (external URLs for FAQ, better intent detection) or its reach (email → chat → SMS). The next logical extension is voice or social channels.
SMS is live; voice support or tighter social-channel integration seems likely next. Re:amaze will also need to build more agent-observability tooling—tools to understand what the AI agent did and why—as teams start deploying it for higher-stakes conversations.
