206 changes since July 2025. The most recent was Oct 6, 2026.

Help Scout updates product section punctuation

  • Removed a comma after the word "base" in the heading for the product overview section.

This is a minor copy edit to improve the flow of the sentence introducing their four main products. It does not change features or pricing.

Help Scout adds specific AI resolution metrics

  • Added a new product overview section highlighting Inbox, Agent, Copilot, and Signal.
  • Replaced general descriptions with specific performance data: "73% of requests resolved" by AI and "56% more messages" handled by teams.
  • Reordered the homepage sections to lead with the "Inbox" product before the "AI Agent" section.
  • Updated the "Why switch" stats to highlight that 99% of customers hear back in under 24 hours.
  • Swapped the placement of customer testimonials to align with the new section order.

Help Scout is moving away from vague promises about "quality" and "context" toward hard data. By claiming a 73% AI resolution rate and 56% higher team output, they are positioning their AI as a proven efficiency driver rather than just a helpful assistant.

Help Scout launches new Inbox collaboration tools

  • Added new "Inbox" features including SLAs to track deadlines and custom statuses to show teammate availability.
  • Introduced "Collision Detection" to prevent two people from replying to the same message.
  • Added "Company Profiles" to group individual contacts under one account for better context.
  • Updated the AI section to focus on specific tasks like summarizing long threads and adjusting tone rather than general automation.
  • Replaced high-level marketing copy with a detailed list of 25+ core features including HIPAA compliance and SSO.
  • Added a new retention metric claiming customers who use their support are retained at a 26% higher rate.

Help Scout is shifting its focus from general AI support to deep team collaboration and workflow management. They are highlighting specific features like SLAs, custom statuses, and collision detection to appeal to larger teams that need to coordinate complex support tasks without overlapping.
