Gmail-based customer support and helpdesk tool

Gmail-based support tooling wiring internal docs into its AI and unifying search across channels

Current state
Hiver's April releases center on grounding its AI in a company's own material. Confluence pages, Google Docs and Google Sheets can be added as knowledge sources, and Ask AI can query an uploaded Sheet directly — answering questions like top customers by revenue without manual analysis. Alongside that, Omnichannel Search spans email, chat and Slack with unified results and channel attribution, and automations gained a trigger for conversations moved into a shared inbox. Each release appears twice in the feed.
Where it's heading
The product is extending past the shared-inbox job into being the place a support agent finds any answer. Knowledge sources make the AI useful on internal SOPs rather than generic replies; omnichannel search makes prior context findable regardless of where the conversation happened. Both reduce the reasons an agent leaves Gmail, which is the whole premise Hiver sells on.
Prediction
Expect more knowledge source connectors on the pattern set by Drive and Confluence, since the Sheets query capability shows the ingestion path already handles structured as well as prose content.

    Run queries on Google Sheets with Ask AI

    A Google Sheet can be uploaded as a knowledge source and queried through Ask AI. Querying structured data in natural language is a step beyond document retrieval, and it is the more technically interesting half of the knowledge-source work.
