Maven AGI sells enterprise AI agents for chat, email and phone that work above your existing helpdesk. Its AWS Marketplace listing shows a $25,000 minimum for a 12-month contract, and we rate it 6.5/10.
Maven AGI sells to big support teams, the kind with a phone line to staff, a Zendesk or Salesforce setup nobody wants to rip out, and a security questionnaire that goes on for pages. The Boston company, Maven AGI, makes an AI customer service platform that answers customers by chat and by phone. It works on top of the helpdesk, CRM and telephony you already pay for, and you buy it through a demo.
That last part is where a support leader's homework stalls, because there is no price list on the site and pricing is set after a demo.
I'm Mike, co-founder of My AskAI, and we build an AI agent that also works inside the helpdesk you already run, so I'm not a neutral party here. The only public figure is Maven AGI's AWS Marketplace listing, which gives a minimum of $25,000 for a 12-month contract.

My AskAI is an AI agent for customer support that works inside Zendesk, Gorgias, Intercom, HubSpot, Freshdesk or Freshchat, trained on your help center, documents and historic tickets.
What is Maven AGI?
⚡
TL;DR: A Boston-based enterprise platform that answers and acts on customer questions across chat and voice. It layers onto the helpdesk, CRM and phone system a company already runs.
Maven AGI sells an AI agent that talks to your customers, a copilot that helps your human agents, and a design console where your team tunes both. In the words of its platform page, "Maven sits on top of your existing stack." I like that you keep Zendesk, Salesforce or Freshdesk, because switching to Maven AGI does not mean migrating off it first.
Maven AGI homepage hero: 'AI agents customers actually want to talk to', an enterprise AI agent platform that works across your existing help desk, CRM and telephony
The product's named parts are:
Agent Maven - the AI agent that answers customers and takes actions such as refunds, updates and approvals
Agent Assist - a copilot inside your helpdesk that drafts replies and summaries for your human agents
Agent Designer - the console where your team reviews conversations, fixes answers and tests changes before release
Maven Voice - the same agent on the phone, running through the telephony a contact center already uses
The company was founded by Jonathan Corbin (CEO, previously at HubSpot), Sami Shalabi (previously at Google) and Eugene Mann (previously at Stripe), according to its about page. It has raised $78 million in total, including a $50 million Series B led by Dell Technologies Capital.
One G2 reviewer picked out the same point the company leads with, that the agent finishes the job for the customer:
"Most AI tools just deflect tickets by tossing static help articles at people, but Maven actually resolves them." Stefan A., Head of Energy Infrastructure, via G2, where Maven AGI scores 4.8/5 from 36 reviews.
The agent then runs on top of whichever helpdesk, CRM or phone system you already use.
💬
My AskAI takes the same position in your stack. We install as an app in your helpdesk, and your agents, macros and routing stay exactly where they are.
How easy is it to set up Maven AGI?
⚡
TL;DR: Setup starts with a sales demo and runs with Maven AGI's engineers, typically over weeks. Your support team tunes answers without code, but custom actions need an engineer.
Every route in starts with a request for a "free personalized demo", and there is no self-serve account, so nobody on your team can switch it on and try it alone.
Maven AGI's Salesforce page says most Salesforce deployments go live within one to two weeks. The customer stories run longer: Clio went through "a 6-week onboarding", with a dedicated customer success manager and Maven AGI's engineers on hand throughout. I take the customer stories as the better guide, so plan for weeks, with Maven AGI's people in the room.
The install itself goes through your helpdesk's own marketplace. Maven AGI lists a copilot app on the Zendesk Marketplace and a matching app on Salesforce AppExchange, which means your helpdesk admin approves it the same way as any other app.
After that, a support lead can tune answers, tone and knowledge in Agent Designer without writing code. Anything that changes a record in another system, like issuing a refund or updating an order, needs someone technical to build it.

💬
My AskAI installs as an approved app from your helpdesk's own marketplace, and our standard setup takes about 10 minutes with no developer. See the setup guide for your helpdesk.
What channels does Maven AGI work in?
⚡
TL;DR: Chat, messaging, email and voice. Voice runs over the phone systems a contact center already has, including Twilio, Genesys and Cisco.
The text channels are broad, and Maven AGI's channels page lists the agent across all of these:
Web chat and in-app messaging
SMS and WhatsApp
Social media direct messages
Email
I think voice is Maven AGI's strongest channel. Maven Voice is speech-to-speech, so the caller talks to the agent the way they would talk to a person. In Maven AGI's words, it "Runs on the telephony you already have, including Twilio, Genesys, and Cisco." For a contact center, that means the same agent can pick up the phone line without anyone replacing the phone system.

Behind each channel, the agent works with whichever helpdesk or CRM you run. The apps directory lists Zendesk, Salesforce Service Cloud, Freshdesk, Intercom, Front, HubSpot Service Hub, ServiceNow and Genesys Cloud CX (the copilot also runs in Help Scout, Freshchat and Freshservice). When a conversation needs a person, it goes back through that system, which is how Clio hands chats to its team through Salesforce.
💬
We answer in whichever channels your helpdesk routes to My AskAI, chat and email included, on Zendesk, Intercom, Freshdesk, Freshchat, Gorgias and HubSpot. We also include a web chat widget for sites that do not use a helpdesk messenger.
What are the limitations of Maven AGI?
⚡
TL;DR: You cannot see a price or try it without a sales process, and rollouts take weeks with Maven AGI's engineers involved. Custom actions also need someone technical to build them.
You cannot see a price or try it first
Maven AGI's pricing URL redirects to a demo request page. Until a sales process starts, the only public figure you can take to your finance lead is a $25,000 contract minimum.
Stat callout: Maven AGI's AWS Marketplace listing sets a $25,000 minimum for a 12-month contract, about $2,083 a month
Product documentation is for customers only
Maven AGI keeps its product documentation behind a customer login. The detail on limits, settings and setup steps is in those docs.
Rollouts lean on Maven AGI's engineers
The customer stories describe rollouts measured in weeks, with Maven AGI's engineers doing a share of the work. I think that suits a company that wants a vendor to run the project, but if you were hoping to be live within a week, plan for longer.
Integrations may not cover your particular stack
Maven AGI connects to a long list of enterprise systems in its apps directory, and Gorgias is not on it. One Reddit user weighing it up wrote:
"They don't have enough integrations for us though, unfortunately." A Reddit user, on r/CustomerSuccess.
Before you book the demo, check the directory for every system your agents touch, from billing to order management.
💬
Our product documentation is public, so your team can read how setup, Guidance and Tasks work in your helpdesk before you sign up for anything.
What knowledge sources can I train Maven AGI on?
⚡
TL;DR: Help center articles, past tickets, CRM and helpdesk records, documents, web pages and common workplace tools. The same knowledge feeds both the customer-facing agent and the copilot.
Maven AGI pulls everything into one store of company knowledge that it calls the Graph of Record. Its knowledge graph page lists imports from Salesforce, Zendesk, Freshdesk, PDFs, Word documents, spreadsheets and web pages.
The part I like most is that past tickets count as a source. Maven AGI describes what its Zendesk app does: it "reads your help center articles, ingests historical ticket data, and builds a unified knowledge graph." So the agent can learn from how your team already answers, as well as from what is written down.
Beyond the helpdesk, the apps directory lists knowledge connections for Confluence, Notion, Google Drive and SharePoint, among others.

💬
My AskAI connects to Google Drive, Notion, Confluence, SharePoint, OneDrive, Dropbox, Salesforce Knowledge, Shopify and your helpdesk's help center, and we can train it on your historic tickets. Self-Learning then drafts new articles from your agents' replies on handed-over tickets.
What features does Maven AGI have?
⚡
TL;DR: An autonomous agent that takes actions, a copilot inside your agents' helpdesk, and a console for building and testing both. Custom actions are built in code by technical teams.
The autonomous agent
Agent Maven answers customers directly and can carry out multi-step tasks, such as processing a refund, updating an account or getting an approval.
Agent Assist inside your helpdesk
Agent Assist appears beside the ticket in your helpdesk and gives your human agents a summary, the category, the resolution status and a suggested reply. Maven AGI's Agent Assist update is clear that people stay in charge: "the human agent approves, edits, or sends with one click, so nothing goes out unsupervised." Our roundup of AI agent-assist tools covers how copilots of this kind compare.

Actions into your other systems
Actions specific to your business are built in code, so plan on engineering time for each new action your agent needs to take in your billing or order systems.
Agent Designer ties the three together. It shows how the agent is performing, flags where answers are going wrong, sets guardrails, and lets you run test conversations before a change reaches customers.
💬
My AskAI runs actions through Tasks and AI Actions (Tools), set up in plain language, and each one can run on its own or wait for an agent to approve it. Both are usage-priced add-ons on top of your plan. Our AI Copilot Chrome Extension, included on every plan, works inside Zendesk, Intercom, Freshdesk, Gorgias and HubSpot.
How do I improve Maven AGI responses?
⚡
TL;DR: Agent Designer flags outdated, conflicting or missing information from real conversations, and your team fixes and tests changes before release. It works best with a named owner reviewing conversations every week.
Improving answers is the step to plan for most carefully, because the customer stories show that someone has to own it. Clio has a dedicated AI analyst reviewing transcripts, and Maven AGI credits its no-code workflow builder with letting that analyst make improvements quickly. A G2 reviewer makes the same point as a warning:
Maven AGI illustration of knowledge-gap detection flagging conflicting, newer and missing information, turned into guided updates from past conversations.
"Without proper knowledge and thoughtful testing it won’t run." Ronda F., Senior Manager, via G2.
Starting narrow and widening the agent's responsibilities as it proves itself is the approach I recommend with any vendor, and another G2 reviewer described exactly that:
"We were more conservative with permissions at the beginning and gradually expanded what the agent was allowed to do." Evan L., Director of Technology, via G2.
An AI agent keeps improving while a person reviews its answers, so budget a few hours a week of someone's time for review whichever vendor you pick.
💬
With My AskAI you can ask Echo, our in-dashboard assistant, why the agent gave any answer and which source it used, then batch-test sample questions before you change anything. Guidance and Self-Learning handle most fixes without a developer, and if you don't have a help center yet, Train on Historic Tickets builds starter knowledge from your past tickets.
What resolution rate can I expect from Maven AGI?
⚡
TL;DR: Maven AGI claims its agent resolves up to 93% of incoming queries without a human. Treat that as a ceiling, since your rate depends on your ticket mix and how much tuning your team does.
The headline figure is on Maven AGI's AI agent platform page. It describes the agent "resolving up to 93% of incoming queries without human intervention." I read "up to" as the best result, so expect a typical deployment to come in lower.

What counts as resolved varies by customer, and one of Maven AGI's customer stories shows a strict version of it. At Quest Software, a case only counted when the customer "didn't return to a human agent within six hours" after getting an answer. Ask which definition is behind any figure you are shown in a demo.
It shows where the field is overall, with every vendor's figures pooled together.
Vendors measure different things under the same word, so treat the numbers as a rough guide.
Published figures are wins the vendors chose to share, so they lean high.
💬
At My AskAI we count a conversation as resolved when the AI handled it without handing off to a person, and customers can ask for a human at any point.
What AI model does Maven AGI use?
⚡
TL;DR: Maven AGI says it works with more than one AI provider and names OpenAI and Anthropic on its Zendesk listing. It says model providers keep none of your data and that sensitive information never trains a model.
Maven AGI's positioning is that it is not tied to one AI company or one LLM, meaning the large language model that writes the replies. It describes the platform as "Vendor agnostic and LLM portable". Its Zendesk Marketplace listing names the providers for text: "Our app uses LLMs (e.g., OpenAI, Anthropic) for generating responses".
On data handling, Maven AGI's trust and compliance page promises "Zero LLM data retention" and says sensitive information is never used to train models. Your security team can ask Maven AGI for the documents behind both claims.
💬
My AskAI uses several models, mainly OpenAI with Google and Anthropic for specific tasks, and we test the mix continuously. We never use your data to train models.
What languages does Maven AGI work in?
⚡
TL;DR: Voice covers more than 50 languages. Chat detects the customer's language and replies in it, though Maven AGI publishes no count for text.
On Maven Voice, Maven AGI's voice release notes state speech-to-speech support "across 50+ languages". For chat, its Intercom app page says "Maven supports multiple languages and can detect and respond in the customer's preferred language automatically."
💬
We support 95 languages in My AskAI and detect the language of every message automatically. Live Translation, a paid add-on on Intercom, translates conversations for agents who do not read the customer's language.
How secure is Maven AGI?
⚡
TL;DR: A long certification list, including SOC 2 Type II, ISO 27001 and ISO 42001, PCI DSS Level 1 and HIPAA with signed BAAs. The supporting reports are available on request from its trust portal.
I rate security as one of Maven AGI's strongest areas, built for a buyer whose security review has a long checklist. Its trust portal lists these certifications:
ISO 27001 for information security
ISO 42001, the standard for managing AI systems
ISO 27701, ISO 27017 and ISO 27018 for privacy and cloud data
PCI DSS Level 1 for card payment data
Its trust and compliance page adds SOC 2 Type II and independent assessments for HIPAA and HITECH, GDPR and CCPA. Maven AGI also offers signed business associate agreements (BAAs) for healthcare customers, which a company handling patient data needs before any vendor touches it. The certificates, the SOC 2 report and a penetration test summary are all request-only through the trust portal, so your security team can start that request in parallel with the sales process.

My AskAI is SOC 2 Type II certified and GDPR compliant, and our live trust center shows the current controls. We encrypt your data at rest and in transit, and never use it to train models.
Who is using Maven AGI?
⚡
TL;DR: Named customers include Clio in legal software, Quest Software in enterprise IT and Thumbtack in home services. Each has a published story with figures you can check.
Maven AGI says it powers 90+ companies, and its customer stories page names a good spread of them across industries. Three are worth reading before a demo:
Clio, the legal practice software company, replaced a legacy chatbot and reports 4x faster customer support after a six-week onboarding with Maven AGI's team.
Quest Software, the enterprise IT software company, calls its agent AskQ and widened what it handled once the agent proved it could meet Quest's quality bar.
Thumbtack, the home services marketplace, ran a proof of concept on real customer data against other vendors and says its internal CSAT assessment put Maven AGI 15%+ ahead.
I think Thumbtack's story is the more useful of the three at the shortlist stage, since it is the only one that names a head-to-head test against other vendors on real customer data.

💬
Our customers publish their results too. TravelJoy reaches 80% AI resolution on Zendesk and saves 193 hours a month, and RecruitCRM reaches 68% AI resolution on Intercom and saves 62 hours a month.
How much does Maven AGI cost?
⚡
TL;DR: Maven AGI publishes no price list and quotes each deal after a demo. Its AWS Marketplace listing sets a contract minimum of $25,000 for 12 months, about $2,083 a month.
Maven AGI's pricing model
The one figure Maven AGI lists anywhere is on its AWS Marketplace listing: an "Enterprise Custom Pricing - Minimum" of $25,000.00 for 12 months. The same listing says to contact the company for custom pricing "based on your expected scope, complexity, and volume of resolutions."
My read is that this wording, and a line on its Salesforce Service Cloud page about "Performance-backed engagements", point toward a price tied to resolutions, which is often called outcome-based pricing. Maven AGI does not state the unit or a rate anywhere, which leaves these parts of the bill open:
What counts as a billable resolution, and who decides when a conversation qualifies
Whether voice is priced the same way as chat and email
Whether Agent Assist costs extra, since Maven's Salesforce listing marks the Co-Pilot as a paid add-on
To put the minimum in context, I've priced a support team handling 10,000 tickets a month, with each AI option added to the helpdesk seats the team already pays for.

💬
My AskAI charges per ticket, resolved or not, from $199 a month on Pro. The 30-day free trial unlocks every feature with unlimited tickets and no card needed, so you can test the real bill before you commit, and our ROI calculator works out the numbers at your volume.
Does Maven AGI have a free trial?
⚡
TL;DR: Maven AGI does not advertise a free trial. The way in is a demo, and its Zendesk page offers a free 20-minute live session on your own Zendesk tickets.
The closest thing to hands-on testing is on its Zendesk page, which offers a live session: "Bring your messiest, multi-system Zendesk tickets and watch Maven resolve them live. 20 minutes."
Longer tests happen inside the sales process. Mastermind's story says the company moved forward "After a quick demo and one trial", and Thumbtack ran a proof of concept on real customer data.
💬
We give you 30 days of My AskAI free, with every feature unlocked, unlimited tickets and no credit card. You run it on real tickets in the helpdesk you already use, whenever suits you.
Is Maven AGI worth it?
⚡
TL;DR: Yes for a large contact center that needs voice and a long compliance list and can budget above the contract minimum. No for a team that wants a published price, a self-serve trial or a go-live without vendor engineers.
I think Maven AGI fits a large contact center that needs voice and chat together.
My AskAI suits teams that want to be live in days: a standard setup takes about 10 minutes inside your existing helpdesk, with no developer.
What are the Pros and Cons of Maven AGI?
Pros
Voice and chat on one agent over the phone system you run - speech-to-speech voice on Twilio, Genesys and Cisco telephony, alongside chat, messaging and email (see the channels section).
A broad first-party compliance list - ISO 27001 and 42001, PCI DSS Level 1 and SOC 2 Type II, plus signed HIPAA BAAs for healthcare (see the security section).
Named enterprise customers with published figures - story pages for Clio, Quest Software and Thumbtack, including Quest's strict definition of a resolution (see the customers section).
Cons
No public pricing, and a quote only after a demo - the pricing URL goes to a demo form, and the only listed figure is a $25,000 yearly minimum (see the cost section).
No self-serve trial - the route in is a demo, and any longer test is arranged inside the sales process (see the trial section).
Documentation behind a customer login - the docs site asks for an account, so you cannot check setup depth or limits before you are a customer (see the limitations section).
Rollouts take weeks with Maven AGI's engineers - Clio's onboarding ran six weeks with the vendor's engineers involved (see the setup section).
How does Maven AGI's rating break down?
I scored Maven AGI on four things, and the overall rating is their average:
Product: 8/10 - voice and chat on one agent, a copilot inside your helpdesk and testing before release, held back because custom actions need code
Price and trial: 4/10 - no price list, no advertised trial and a demo-only route in, lifted by a listed contract minimum and a free live demo on your own tickets
Setup and fit: 6/10 - you keep your helpdesk and install from its marketplace, but rollouts take weeks with vendor engineers and the minimum rules out most small teams
Evidence: 8/10 - named customer stories, a strict resolution definition and a first-party certification list, held back because most customer figures count chat answers, a looser measure than a resolved case

Evidence: 8/10
In a sentence: A capable enterprise agent for chat and voice with a deep compliance list, bought only through a demo with no price list or advertised trial.
Scored on the sections above, from Maven AGI's own pages; gaps are stated as gaps. Not higher because the cost and trial sections found no price list, no advertised free trial and a $25,000 contract minimum. Not lower because the customers section found named story pages with published figures, including Quest Software's strict test for a resolution.
Maven AGI is a Boston-based company selling AI agents for customer support. Its agent handles conversations over chat, messaging, email and phone, and it plugs into the support systems a company keeps, such as Zendesk or Salesforce.
What does Maven AI do?
Maven AGI, often shortened to Maven AI, builds AI agents for customer support. The agent answers customer questions and carries out tasks such as refunds and account updates, while its Agent Assist copilot drafts replies for human agents. I read the "AGI" as branding: the company describes its long-term goal as "Business AGI" on its about page.
Who owns Maven AGI?
Maven AGI is a privately held company led by its founders and backed by venture investors. Its Series B announcement names Dell Technologies Capital as lead investor, with Cisco Investments, SE Ventures, Lux Capital, M13 and E14 also backing the company.
Who founded Maven AGI?
Jonathan Corbin, Sami Shalabi and Eugene Mann founded Maven AGI. Corbin is the CEO and comes from the support side: he was previously Global Vice President of Customer Success and Strategy at HubSpot. Shalabi came from Google, and Mann from Stripe. I count Corbin's background as a plus for a support buyer, because the company is run by someone who has led a customer success team himself.
How much funding has Maven AGI raised?
Maven AGI has raised $78 million in total. That includes a $50 million Series B led by Dell Technologies Capital, which followed a $20 million Series A led by M13.
Where is the Maven AGI Boston office located?
Maven AGI's headquarters is at 399 Boylston St in Boston, the address listed on its website, and the company also has staff in New York and San Francisco.
How much does Maven AGI cost?
Maven AGI publishes no price list, and every price is quoted after a demo. The only listed figure is a contract minimum of $25,000 for 12 months (about $2,083 a month) on its AWS Marketplace listing, with pricing based on scope, complexity and volume of resolutions.
Who are Maven AGI's competitors?
Its closest peers are other enterprise AI agent vendors sold through a sales process with voice support, chiefly Sierra, Decagon and Ada.
Which companies use Maven AGI?
Maven AGI says it powers 90+ companies. Its customer stories include Clio, Quest Software, Thumbtack, Mastermind, ClickUp and Rho, across legal, IT, marketplaces, fintech and software.
Does Maven AGI support voice?
Yes, and I think voice is the strongest reason to look at it. Maven Voice runs speech-to-speech conversations over the telephony a contact center already has, including Twilio, Genesys and Cisco, and Maven AGI states it covers more than 50 languages on voice.
Is Maven AGI SOC 2 compliant?
Yes. Maven AGI holds SOC 2 Type II, alongside ISO 27001, ISO 42001 and PCI DSS Level 1, and offers signed HIPAA BAAs. The SOC 2 report is available on request through its trust portal.
Does Maven AGI have a free trial?
Maven AGI does not advertise a free trial or free plan. The way in is a demo, and its Zendesk page offers a free 20-minute live session on your own Zendesk tickets, with longer pilots arranged inside the sales process.
