Varley · AI for customer support

Support, handled.

Varley is the AI that does the support work. It reads every conversation, answers from what your business knows, acts in your tools and resolves what it can. It already works in Gmail. Now put it to work in your help desk, your product or your own AI agent.

  • Pay per resolution
  • Hand-offs are free
  • Every action on the record

Where Varley works

One engine. Four ways to put it to work.

Varley is the layer underneath. Put it wherever your customer conversations already are.

Live

In Gmail

Shared inboxes and your own

Varley works the inbox your team already lives in. It tags and summarises every email, drafts in your voice, answers questions and resolves conversations.

In your help desk

Behind the tool you already run

Put Varley on the queue in the help desk you already use. It works the tickets there, resolves what it can prove and hands the rest to your team.

In your product

Through the REST API

Build support into your own app or workflow. Hand Varley a conversation and it resolves it, or hands it back with everything it found.

In your AI agent

Over MCP, from Claude or ChatGPT

Give the agent you already use a support colleague. It calls Varley to resolve the conversation, and gets the working back with the result.

What Varley does

One AI. Four ways it works.

Not a bundle of features. One agent with a method: read first, learn the ground, answer with sources, act only inside the brief, and keep everything on the record.

Let Varley act

Agent

Varley working on its own. It reads each conversation you hand it, pulls context from your tools, takes the step and resolves it. When it can’t finish the job, it hands it to your team with everything it found.

  • Works inside the brief you set
  • Acts in your tools: refunds, orders, tickets
  • Every action logged, every source cited
  • A hand-off costs nothing

What Varley knows

Intelligence

Everything your team knows and the tools it works in, connected once: email, help articles, docs, Stripe, Shopify, Slack and more. Varley grounds every answer in it and shows where each fact came from.

  • Connect once, and all of Varley draws on it
  • Every answer cites its sources
  • When the source doesn’t exist, it says so

Ask Varley

Copilot

Ask about your conversations in plain English and get answers from your real data, not a guess. When Varley proposes a change, you see exactly what will happen and approve it first.

  • Answers from your real data, never a guess
  • Says exactly what it counted
  • Acts only after you approve

Varley on every message

Assists

Before anyone opens a conversation, Varley has tagged it by intent and urgency, summarised it if it runs long, and drafted a reply in your team’s voice. Your team reviews and sends.

  • Tagging, sentiment, summaries and drafts
  • Nothing to invoke, nothing to configure
  • Drafts cite where each answer came from

You decide

Ask it. Or let it act.

The same agent, two levels of trust. Start by asking. Grant autonomy when Varley has earned it.

Ask it

Varley proposes. You approve.

Reading and searching happen instantly. Anything that sends, moves, edits or reaches a customer waits for a person’s approval, with a preview of exactly what will happen.

Let it act

Varley resolves. Or hands off.

Agent works inside the brief you set. When it can finish the job, it does. When it can’t, it hands the conversation to your team with everything it found.

The hand-off is a feature

Most agents treat escalation as failure. Varley treats it as judgement. Knowing what it shouldn’t handle is half of what makes it safe to trust with customers, and you never pay for a hand-off. The rules it keeps are published below.

For developers

Built to be built on.

The same engine that resolves conversations in Gmail today. Early access opens it to you: connect it over MCP from the agent you already use, or call the REST API from your own product.

  • Hand over a conversation. Get back a resolution or a hand-off, never a guess
  • Every result carries its working: what it read, what it did, and why
  • Set the brief once. Varley never gives itself more permission
  • Pay per resolution. Hand-offs and rejected actions are free

The rules it keeps

What Varley won’t do.

An agent you can trust with customers is defined by its boundaries. These are Varley’s, in writing.

It won’t make things up.

Every answer is grounded in your knowledge, with the source cited. When the source doesn’t exist, Varley says it doesn’t know and routes to someone who does.

It won’t pretend to be human.

Varley signs its own work. Your customers always know whether they’re talking to the agent or to your team.

It won’t give itself permission.

What Varley may do is set by you, action by action. The AI can’t widen its own brief, and it escalates the moment a conversation steps outside it.

It won’t quietly fail.

If a step fails, Varley stops and says so in plain words. Every hand-off is explicit and every action is on the record.

Pricing

Pay when it’s handled.

You pay for the work Varley does, and only for work you can check. Nothing per seat, and a hand-off to your team is always free.

Questions, answered plainly

What is Varley?

Varley is an AI that does customer support work. It reads each conversation, answers from what your business knows, takes actions in your tools, and resolves the conversation or hands it to your team with everything it found.

Where can we use Varley?

In Gmail today. In early access, in the help desk you already run, in your own product through the REST API, and in your own AI agent through MCP.

What counts as a resolution?

One conversation Varley finished on its own, with the customer’s question actually answered, nobody on your team involved, and its working shown. A hand-off isn’t a resolution, and neither is a customer going quiet. The full definition is here.

What happens when Varley isn’t sure?

It hands the conversation to your team and says why, with everything it found attached. Hand-offs cost nothing.

Can we limit what it’s allowed to do?

Yes. Autonomy is granted, not assumed. You set the brief, and sensitive actions can require a person’s approval before they happen.

How does Varley learn our answers?

From the places your answers already live: email, help center articles, Google Drive, Notion, Confluence, files and websites. It acts through the tools you connect, such as Stripe, Shopify, Zendesk, Slack and HubSpot.

Who is early access for?

Teams who want Varley in their help desk, their own product or their own AI agent. Tell us what you want it to handle and we will set you up.
