The leader in AI-powered customer service automation, Thankful, has struck a strategic partnership with Gorgias, the #1 helpdesk for ecommerce used by over 10,000 online merchants, it was announced today by Ted Mico, Founder and CEO of Thankful.

Leveraging Thankful within Gorgias increases brands’ ability to support more inbound customer requests across all text-based channels. Thankful’s AI Agent can quickly resolve large volumes of tickets with consistency and ease: scaling to take on hypergrowth, seasonal spikes, and unprecedented ticket influxes.
