What AI can I use to reply in Front?

⚡

TL;DR: Inside Front itself, your AI is Front's own suite, Copilot for agent assist and Autopilot for autonomous replies. My AskAI is not an in-Front option; it runs on Zendesk, Intercom, Freshdesk, Gorgias or HubSpot, or as a standalone website widget.

If you're living in Front and want AI on your conversations, the AI you get is Front's own suite. That's Copilot (drafts replies for your agents), Autopilot (resolves conversations autonomously), plus Topics, Compose, Summarize, Translate, Smart QA and Smart CSAT. Front markets the whole thing as "Automate, Assist, Analyze," a layer sitting on top of the collaborative inbox that most Front customers bought Front for in the first place.

Front AI: Autopilot running a playbook and resolving a request in the chat widget.

My AskAI works differently. We're a purpose-built resolution agent that layers onto a helpdesk you already run, and we plug into Zendesk, Intercom, Freshdesk, Gorgias or HubSpot, or run as a standalone widget on your website.

So the two options here are Front's native, control-first assistive AI, or a portable resolution agent you'd run on a different helpdesk. You can't switch between them inside Front. If you're set on staying in Front, that settles it.

Both products review well on G2:

ㅤ	My AskAI	Front
Rating	4.5 / 5	4.7 / 5
Reviews	21	2,407
Reviews page	My AskAI's G2 profile	Front's G2 page

One note on those numbers: Front's 4.7 mostly reflects the shared inbox and the collaboration experience, which is what the bulk of its reviews are about. It's a strong score for a mature product, though I'd read it as a verdict on the inbox more than on Autopilot.

How does an AI customer service agent work in Front?

⚡

TL;DR: Front's Autopilot auto-resolves on admin-enabled Topics, grounded in past conversations and connected knowledge, handing off to a human when it's unsure. My AskAI works the same way in principle, resolve tier-1 and hand off cleanly, but inside a different helpdesk or on your site.

Front's Autopilot resolves conversations on Topics that an admin has switched on. It's grounded in your past conversations plus connected knowledge sources, and when it can't generate a confident reply it hands the conversation to a human, with a mid-conversation "step-in" so an agent can take over. To get Topics, Front AI scans up to 10,000 conversations from your last 30 days and suggests categories, which then take an hour or two to generate, according to Front's Topics documentation.

Front Autopilot: enabling auto-reply for a Topic in the AI settings.

My AskAI works the same way at the level of principle: we resolve the repetitive tier-1 tickets, and when we can't answer, or when the customer asks for a person, we hand over with an AI-written summary so your agent picks up without re-reading the thread. The AI doesn't reply again until it's handed back.

The difference is the venue. We do that inside Zendesk, Intercom, Freshdesk, Gorgias or HubSpot, or on your website widget.

Front runs on OpenAI and Azure OpenAI models plus AWS-hosted Mistral. We use a mix ourselves, predominantly OpenAI with Google and Anthropic models pulled in for the tasks where they do better, plus smaller fast models for routing and summarizing (and neither side lets the model train on your data).

What are the different ways I can use an AI agent in Front?

⚡

TL;DR: Front gives you Copilot (agent assist) and Autopilot (autonomous replies), with Autopilot limited to shared inboxes. My AskAI offers direct replies, a free Copilot, and an internal-notes mode you can run silently on a live queue before going live.

Direct replies

Front Autopilot auto-replies to customers on the Topics you've enabled, and it's limited to shared inboxes. Front is explicit about this in its Autopilot docs: "Autopilot only applies to shared inboxes." We direct-reply to customers inside whichever of our five helpdesks (Zendesk, Intercom, Freshdesk, Gorgias or HubSpot) you've installed us in, or through the website widget.

Copilot replies

Front Copilot drafts suggested replies for your agents. It's $20 per seat per month (included on Enterprise), it's English-only, and it works in individual inboxes as well as shared ones.

Front Copilot drafting a reply by searching past conversations.

Our Copilot is a Chrome extension that drafts inside any of our integrated helpdesks, it's included free, and there's no per-seat charge for it. If you've got a big team, that seat-versus-no-seat difference adds up fast.

Internal note replies

This is where we've got something Front doesn't. We can post every one of our replies as an internal note instead of sending to the customer, so you can shadow the AI on your live queue, side by side with your agents, and check its answers before you ever flip it to direct replies. It's the zero-risk on-ramp we recommend to almost everyone.

Front's nearest equivalent is its per-Topic samples review, where you compare the AI's drafts against teammate replies before switching auto-reply on for that Topic. Useful, but it isn't the same as running the agent silently across your whole live queue as notes.

Which is easier to setup, Front or My AskAI?

⚡

TL;DR: My AskAI is about 10 minutes on an existing helpdesk. Front is admin-driven and heavier, with Topics taking an hour or two and Autopilot switchable only against live conversations. The biggest setup cost with Front is that if you're not already on it, adopting its AI means adopting Front.

My AskAI is roughly a 10-minute job on a helpdesk you already run. You sign up, connect your knowledge, and install our app from your helpdesk's marketplace, and you're straight into internal-notes mode.

No developer needed for the standard setup. Most teams are live and replying directly within about a month, once they've tuned things (I'd budget that month rather than expect day-one perfection).

Front is heavier, and it's admin-driven. Topics take an hour or two to generate, and Autopilot only switches on against live conversations.

There's no sandbox and no historical-ticket replay to pilot it safely first. Front's free trial mirrors its Professional plan and excludes Autopilot, so you can't self-serve a trial of the autonomous agent at all (which I'd want before pointing it at a live queue).

The real setup cost with Front is bigger. If you're not already on Front, adopting Front's AI means adopting Front, moving your whole support operation onto a new platform.

That's a full migration. It's the single biggest reason "which is easier to set up" has a different answer depending on where you're starting from.

How do My AskAI and Front differ in what they can be trained on?

⚡

TL;DR: My AskAI ingests a wider set of sources, including direct file upload and private, internal-only marking. Front connects a smaller set, caps website crawls at around 3,000 pages, has no built-in file upload, and requires its AI sources to be in English. On live data, Front's Playbooks are a genuine strength.

'Static' content

Here's the side-by-side on what each agent learns from:

Knowledge source	My AskAI	Front
Native help center	✅	✅
Public website	✅	✅ (capped ~3,000 pages)
Notion	✅	✅
Google Drive	✅	✅
SharePoint	✅	✅
OneDrive	✅	—
Dropbox	✅	—
Confluence	✅	—
Salesforce (knowledge)	✅	—
Shopify	✅	—
Direct file upload (PDF / DOCX)	✅	—
Custom answers	✅	—
Historic tickets	✅	✅ (past conversations)
Private / internal-only marking	✅	—

We ingest native help centers, your public website, Notion, Google Drive, SharePoint, OneDrive, Dropbox, Confluence, Salesforce knowledge pages, Shopify, direct PDF and DOCX upload, custom answer pairs, and your historic tickets (5,000 by default, more on request). And if you have no written help center at all, historic-ticket training auto-drafts starter knowledge from your past resolved tickets, so you're not stuck waiting to write docs before the AI can do anything. You can also mark individual sources as private, so they only ever inform internal-facing answers.

A screenshot of the knowledge page in the My AskAI dashboard.

Front connects a native knowledge base, your public website (crawl capped at around 3,000 pages per source, per its docs, with manual re-sync no more than once a day), Notion, Google Drive, SharePoint, and your historical conversations. There's no built-in file upload, and all connected sources must be in English. That English-only constraint runs right through the AI.

'Dynamic' content

Static docs are only half the job. The other half is live data: order status, account details, "where's my refund." We handle this with our User Data API, Tools, and a pre-built Shopify connector for live order and account lookups, and our Actions can either run fully autonomously or propose-then-approve, whichever you configure per action.

Front's answer here is a genuine strength: Autopilot Playbooks can call your connected systems to run multi-step workflows. If your support leans heavily on orchestrated, multi-step processes across connected tools, Front's Playbooks are well built for that.

Which has better answer quality, Front or My AskAI?

⚡

TL;DR: Both answer tier-1 questions well from a clean knowledge base. The difference is evidence: My AskAI reports a real resolution rate and shows its working; Front has never published an auto-resolution rate and markets control over deflection.

On a clean knowledge base, both agents answer the repetitive tier-1 questions well. Where they part ways is evidence.

We report a real number: a 72% resolution rate on a rolling 30-day basis across our whole customer base. Here's how we count it: a conversation is resolved if it closed without being escalated to a human.

It holds up because we make escalation easy. The customer can ask for a person at any point, and the AI hands off when it can't answer, when it senses frustration, or when a ticket hits a topic you've set to escalate.

We don't claim an issue was solved unless the customer confirms it.

For where that sits against the field: the AI resolution-rate median lands around 70% across roughly 55 vendors and 195 rated deployments in our benchmark corpus, so 72% sits right in the center of the pack.

A spectrum of AI resolution rates across the field: low-by-design deployments near 26%, the field median around 70%, and mature rollouts near 95%, aggregated from roughly 55 vendors and 195 rated deployments.

Take that median with a grain of salt, though. It's aggregate, directional context; resolution rates swing with your industry, ticket mix and setup, and the vendors reporting them are self-selecting. I'm citing it as a rough sense of where the field sits, nothing more.

The reason I can't hand you a My AskAI-versus-Front number is that Front has never published an auto-resolution rate. Its marketing leans the other way, on control over deflection ("deflection is cheap, churn isn't"). That's a defensible position, but it means there's no published rate to place next to ours.

One first-party proof point I can point to: TravelJoy hit an 80% AI resolution rate with My AskAI, up from 24% on their previous native helpdesk AI. Their head of customer service, Alan Pugh, put it more bluntly than I would in the TravelJoy case study: "You're beating Zendesk's AI agent 76% to 24% on AI deflection. Huge."

That's a real customer watching a third-party agent beat the native AI it replaced.

Which AI agent is easier to improve over time: Front or My AskAI?

⚡

TL;DR: My AskAI self-learns from your agents' actual edits and lets your team ask Echo why the agent gave any answer and which source it used. Front improves via fact-invalidation, Topic curation and Smart QA, but says it does not train models, and reviewers describe the AI as a black box you can't directly correct.

We improve in two ways that need very little manual work. First, self-learning: on handed-over tickets, we compare our own draft to what the human agent actually sent and auto-draft new knowledge from the difference, so your knowledge base keeps improving as your team works.

Second, traceability: your team can ask Echo, our in-dashboard assistant, why the agent gave any given answer and which knowledge source it used, so when something's off you can see exactly what to fix without guessing. (Inspect and Logs gives you the same underlying view if you want to dig into a specific conversation.)

A screenshot from Intercom showing an internal note generated by the My AskAI agent with an option to “Inspect the conversation” in the My AskAI dashboard.

Front improves through fact invalidation (you trash a "fact pill" so it stops being used), Topic curation, and Smart QA. It works, but it has a ceiling.

Front is explicit about this, in its own Autopilot community post: it "does not train any models" and you "cannot explicitly train Copilot or Autopilot to sound like you" beyond the automatic learning. Reviewers have described the AI as a black box you can't directly correct. If you like getting your hands on the dials, that's a real difference.

Which has more features, Front or My AskAI?

⚡

TL;DR: Front has the broader surface, because it's a whole platform: Smart QA, Smart CSAT, Topics, Playbooks, Summarize and more on top of the inbox. My AskAI focuses on the support-specific resolution features teams use most, deep on a helpdesk it doesn't own.

Front wins on breadth. Front is an entire platform, and its AI reflects that: Smart QA, Smart CSAT, Topics, Playbooks, Autopilot Resolve, Summarize, Compose and Translate all sit on top of the collaborative inbox. On feature surface alone, Front is the one to beat.

We're narrower on purpose. We concentrate on the support-specific resolution features teams lean on day to day, and we do them deep on a helpdesk we don't own. Here's the grid:

Feature	My AskAI	Front
Autonomous resolution	✅	✅
Agent-assist copilot	✅ (free, no seat charge)	✅ ($20/seat)
Multi-step tasks / workflows	✅ (Tasks & Tools)	✅ (Playbooks)
Live agent translation	✅	—
Auto-tagging	✅ (four helpdesks)	— (replaced by Topics)
AI QA scoring	—	✅ (Smart QA)
AI CSAT	✅ (100% of conversations)	✅ (Smart CSAT)
Conversation summaries	✅	✅ (Summarize)
Voice	—	— (integrates Dialpad/Aircall)
Insights / topics	✅ (Insights)	✅ (Topics)
Knowledge connector breadth	✅ (wider)	— (narrower)

Neither side has a first-party voice agent, for what it's worth (Front integrates third-party voice tools, and voice isn't something we do today). Front wins on platform breadth, and we win on resolution-specific depth and cost.

Is it easy to customize My AskAI and Front?

⚡

TL;DR: My AskAI gives you natural-language Guidance over tone, context and handover rules, plus persona and Tasks. Front's customization is automatic tone-matching plus rules and Topics, and Front says you cannot explicitly train Copilot or Autopilot to sound like you.

Our customization runs on Guidance, natural-language rules across three types: Communication and Style, Context and Clarification, and Handover and Escalation. You write, in plain English, how the agent should sound, when it should ask a clarifying question, and when it must hand off. Add persona settings, Tasks for workflows, and Multibrand (a separate agent per brand), and you've got a lot of knobs to turn without touching code.

A screenshot of My AskAI’s Guidance feature.

Front's customization is lighter-touch: it automatically tone-matches from your past conversations, and you adjust behavior through rules and Topics. But Front is upfront that you "cannot explicitly train Copilot or Autopilot to sound like you" beyond that automatic learning, and it appends an AI disclosure to every AI reply (the wording of which you can customize per channel). It's a more hands-off model, which some teams prefer and others find limiting.

What about vendor lock-in?

⚡

TL;DR: Front's AI only runs inside Front, so adopting it means committing your whole support operation to Front. My AskAI's trained agent carries across Zendesk, Intercom, Freshdesk, Gorgias and HubSpot, so switching among those five saves you re-implementing your AI. My AskAI itself does not run inside Front.

Front's AI can't be bought standalone, and it only runs inside Front. So adopting Front's AI means committing your whole support operation to Front. If you later want to leave Front, the AI doesn't come with you.

We're portable in one specific way. Your trained agent, custom answers, guidance and tasks carry across Zendesk, Intercom, Freshdesk, Gorgias and HubSpot, so if you switch among those helpdesks in the future, you don't re-implement your AI from scratch. Typical usage is one helpdesk at a time.

To run us, you need one of those supported helpdesks, or the website widget. That's the real lock-in trade-off: Front locks you into Front, and we need you on one of our supported helpdesks. My AskAI does not run inside Front.

Does Front or My AskAI have any other AI features?

⚡

TL;DR: My AskAI adds auto-tagging on four helpdesks and live agent translation with 95-language support. Front's AI is officially English-only, but its Smart QA and Smart CSAT are a real strength, auto-scoring closed tickets and inferring satisfaction without surveys.

Tagging

We auto-tag tickets across up to three fields, natively in Zendesk, Intercom, Freshdesk and Freshchat. It classifies on the message text, and it doubles as a spend and routing control: each tag carries a reply setting, so you can tag a class of tickets you'd rather a human handled and route those away from the AI, paying only the small per-tag charge, well under a full conversation charge. Front took a different path here, it retired its legacy AI Tagging and folded that job into Topics.

Agent translation

We support 95 languages, auto-detected per message, and our Live Translation feature translates the conversation into your agent's language as an inline note (and their reply back the other way) on handover. Front's AI, by contrast, is officially English-only across Autopilot, Copilot and Topics, as Front's docs confirm.

Front does have a separate Translate feature (auto-detect, with 15 languages available in Compose), but that's distinct from the AI agent, which only operates in English. If you support customers in more than one language, only My AskAI's agent handles them.

Smart QA / CSAT prediction

Front leads here. Smart QA auto-scores every closed ticket against up to 15 criteria, and Smart CSAT infers customer satisfaction without sending a survey.

Front Smart QA: an auto-scored review scorecard by teammate.

We score 100% of conversations for AI CSAT inside Insights, which is more coverage than the usual 2 to 10% sample, but we don't do agent-QA scorecards the way Front's Smart QA does. If auto-scoring your agents' work is on your list, Front has the better answer.

What about security, is Front more secure than My AskAI?

⚡

TL;DR: Front holds more certifications, SOC 2 Type II, ISO 27001, GDPR, CCPA and HIPAA with a signed BAA, plus US and EU data residency. My AskAI is SOC 2 Type II and GDPR, which covers most B2B SaaS and e-commerce but not HIPAA or ISO 27001.

This is a genuine Front win. Front's security grid is broad: SOC 2 Type II, ISO 27001, GDPR, CCPA, and HIPAA with a signed BAA, along with US and EU data residency options and zero data retention on its AI API calls. If you're in a regulated space, that's a strong sheet.

My AskAI is SOC 2 Type II certified and GDPR compliant. Data is encrypted with AES-256 at rest and TLS in transit, it's never used to train models, and each customer's data sits in an isolated container.

That covers the requirements of most B2B SaaS and e-commerce security reviews. If your review specifically requires HIPAA with a BAA or ISO 27001, Front is the better fit on paper.

Which costs more, Front or My AskAI?

⚡

TL;DR: Front stacks a per-seat base plan, per-seat AI add-ons, and per-conversation Autopilot charges, much of it sales-gated. My AskAI is a flat $0.10 per ticket on published plans. At 10,000 tickets a month, My AskAI lands around $1,299; Front's AI spend at the same volume stacks materially higher and is harder to predict.

The pricing model

Front's pricing has a few layers. The base seat plans run $25 (Starter), $65 (Professional) and $105 (Enterprise) per seat per month on annual billing.

On top of that sit per-seat AI add-ons: Copilot at $20, Smart QA at $20, and Smart CSAT at $10 per seat (all included on Enterprise). Then Autopilot, the autonomous agent, is "starting at $0.05 per conversation" behind a "Talk to Sales" gate, and Front's own community post documents $0.89 per resolution as the resolution endpoint.

A breakdown of a Front AI bill into four stacked layers: per-seat base plans, per-seat AI add-ons (Copilot, Smart QA, Smart CSAT), per-conversation Autopilot charges, and a mostly sales-gated final price, versus My AskAI's single flat per-ticket charge.

So the read, using only Front's own published figures, is a sales-gated range from around $0.05 for a touch up to around $0.89 for a full resolution. And because the unit is per conversation, the touches that don't resolve aren't free either (worth remembering when you model it).

My AskAI is a flat ~$0.10 per ticket, billed on every ticket the AI handles regardless of whether it resolves. Published plans are Pro at $199 a month (1,000 credits, $0.12 overage) and Scale at $499 a month (2,000 credits, $0.10 overage), with Enterprise from $999.

You can see it all on My AskAI's pricing page. Your bill stays flat as the AI gets better, because you're not paying more every time it resolves more.

The overall cost

The fair comparison is AI charge against AI charge. Both sides still pay for a helpdesk underneath, Front's seats for Front's AI, or a mainstream helpdesk's seats for My AskAI, so those platform costs are common to both and I leave them out of the head-to-head.

Take 10,000 tickets a month at a 75% resolution rate. On My AskAI's Scale plan, that's about $1,299 for the month, and it's predictable, you can forecast it before you sign.

Three stats on the AI-cost gap at 10,000 tickets a month: My AskAI around $1,299 versus a Front AI stack well north of $7,000, roughly five times cheaper, on a single flat line item instead of four stacked charges.

On Front, the AI spend at that volume stacks up: Copilot at $20 per seat across your team, then Autopilot conversation charges. Model Autopilot on Front's own $0.89-per-resolution endpoint, and 7,500 resolutions is roughly $6,675 (before the per-conversation floor on the 2,500 that didn't resolve).

Add Copilot seats and any Smart QA or Smart CSAT, and the AI portion of a Front bill lands well north of $7,000 a month. That's materially higher than what we'd charge, and because the real Autopilot rate is sales-gated, it's harder to pin down before you commit.

On the trial: Front's is 14 days, no card, mirrors Professional, and excludes Autopilot, so you can't self-serve a pilot of the autonomous agent. My AskAI's trial is 30 days, all features unlocked, unlimited tickets, no card.

There's an in-trial cost estimate at day seven and an exact figure by the end, so you can forecast your bill before you commit (plus a common 50%-off-first-3-months promo for new customers). Being able to see your real number before you pay is a big part of why we run the trial the way we do.

Conclusion - should I choose Front or My AskAI?

⚡

TL;DR: If you want the collaborative Front inbox with control-first assistive AI and you're staying on Front, choose Front. If you want cheaper, predictable, multilingual autonomous resolution on Zendesk, Intercom, Freshdesk, Gorgias or HubSpot, choose My AskAI, just know it doesn't run inside Front.

The verdict depends on where you're standing. If you're committed to Front's inbox and want AI that keeps a human in the loop, Front is the right call for you. If your priority is cheaper, predictable, multilingual resolution and you're on (or moving to) a mainstream helpdesk, we win on most of the axes that decide that, with one condition: My AskAI doesn't run inside Front.

Category by category:

The split is clear: we take setup, training, answer-quality evidence, improving, price, customization and lock-in; Front takes features, other AI features and security; modes are a tie. That's a fair split. Front is the broader, more certified platform, and we're the cheaper, more portable, more multilingual resolution agent.

Choose Front if:

You want the collaborative shared inbox itself and you're staying on Front.

You're already living in Front's workflows day to day.

You need HIPAA with a BAA, or ISO 27001.

Your support is English-only and you value human-in-the-loop control over maximum deflection.

You want Smart QA and Smart CSAT scoring of your agents' work.

But if none of those matter to you, and you're leaving Front partly because of the AI, then a mainstream helpdesk plus My AskAI gets you cheaper, predictable, 95-language resolution with a bill you can forecast before you sign.

If you want to stay on Front and just add AI to it, we can't help you: we don't run inside Front.

In that case the in-Front overlays (eesel, Fini, Forethought) are the right call, and our roundup of Front AI alternatives walks through them. If instead you're weighing a move to a supported helpdesk, our My AskAI vs Intercom Fin and My AskAI vs Zendesk AI comparisons pick up where this one leaves off.

FAQs

Can My AskAI run inside Front?

No. My AskAI plugs into Zendesk, Intercom, Freshdesk, Gorgias or HubSpot, or runs as a standalone website widget. It does not run inside Front.

If you want to stay on Front and add AI to it, the in-Front overlays (eesel, Fini, Forethought) are what you're after. If you're open to running your support on one of the helpdesks My AskAI supports, then it's very much on the table.

What can each AI agent be trained on?

My AskAI trains on a wider set of sources, and lets you upload files directly and mark sources as private. Front connects a smaller set and its AI sources must all be in English.

Source type	My AskAI	Front
Help center + website	✅	✅ (website capped ~3,000 pages)
Cloud drives (Drive, Notion, SharePoint, etc.)	✅ (incl. OneDrive, Dropbox, Confluence)	✅ (Notion, Drive, SharePoint)
Direct file upload	✅	—
Historic tickets	✅ (5,000 default)	✅ (past conversations)
Private / internal-only marking	✅	—
Language of sources	95 languages	English only

How long does setup take and do we need developers?

My AskAI is about 10 minutes on an existing helpdesk, with no developer needed for the standard setup, and most teams are live within roughly a month. Front is admin-driven and heavier: Topics take an hour or two, and Autopilot can only be switched on against live conversations. And if you're not already on Front, the real setup cost is migrating your support operation onto Front in the first place.

How do My AskAI vs Front pricing models differ, and what might we actually pay?

My AskAI charges a flat ~$0.10 per ticket on published plans, so the bill is predictable and stays flat as the AI improves. Front stacks a per-seat base plan, per-seat AI add-ons, and per-conversation Autopilot charges, much of it sales-gated.

ㅤ	My AskAI	Front
Model	Flat per ticket	Per seat + per-conversation AI
Headline rate	~$0.10/ticket	Autopilot from $0.05/conversation, up to $0.89/resolution
AI spend at 10k tickets/mo (~75% resolution)	~$1,299/mo	Well north of $7,000/mo
Free trial	30 days, all features, unlimited tickets, no card	14 days, no card, excludes Autopilot

Both sides still pay for their underlying helpdesk seats, so the comparison above is AI charge against AI charge.

Can they handle multilingual support and agent translation?

My AskAI supports 95 languages auto-detected per message, plus a Live Translation feature that translates conversations into your agent's language on handover. Front's AI (Autopilot, Copilot and Topics) is officially English-only; its separate Translate feature covers other languages but isn't the AI agent itself. If multilingual support matters, this is a clear My AskAI advantage.

How do they compare on security and compliance?

Front holds the broader set of certifications. My AskAI covers SOC 2 Type II and GDPR, which is enough for most B2B SaaS and e-commerce reviews.

ㅤ	My AskAI	Front
SOC 2 Type II	✅	✅
GDPR	✅	✅
ISO 27001	—	✅
HIPAA (with BAA)	—	✅
CCPA	—	✅
Data residency	US	US / EU

Will I be locked in to one helpdesk?

Front's AI runs only inside Front, so adopting it commits your whole support operation to Front. My AskAI's trained agent moves across Zendesk, Intercom, Freshdesk, Gorgias and HubSpot (typically one at a time), so switching among those five saves you rebuilding your AI. My AskAI itself does not run inside Front.

Does each one offer a free trial?

Both do, but they're not equivalent. Front's is 14 days, no card, and excludes Autopilot, so you can't trial the autonomous agent. My AskAI's is 30 days, all features unlocked, unlimited tickets, no card, with an in-trial estimate so you can forecast the exact bill before you commit.
