Autonomous AI agents
Autonomous AI agents built into the help desk, not sold as another product
BoldDesk’s AI agents work in the same help desk as your team: they confirm who is asking, act in your systems, wait for approval where your rules need it and close the ticket, around the clock.
Use case · Education technology
A deleted class roster, restored before the bell
A district admin writes in late: a teacher deleted a class roster and class starts at 8. The AI agent confirms who is asking, finds the roster, gets a support lead’s approval to restore it and closes the ticket.

Questions before you switch
Is AI included on BoldDesk, or sold separately like on HappyFox?
Included. Every BoldDesk plan has the Response, Background, Assist and Email AI agents and AI actions over API and MCP, paid from the AI credits in your plan. On HappyFox, the HappyFox AI copilot ($14 per agent a month), Autopilot AI agents (from 2 cents an action) and the AI chatbot ($0.33 a resolution) are separate products.
Is BoldDesk cheaper than HappyFox?
For most teams with AI, yes. 30 agents on HappyFox Pro billed annually, with the AI copilot for 10 of them and 70% of 6,000 monthly conversations resolved by the chatbot, pay about $53,952 a year at list prices; BoldDesk Momentum AI with enough AI credits for the same work is about $16,068.
How do BoldDesk’s unlimited agents compare with HappyFox’s unlimited-agent plans?
HappyFox’s unlimited-agent plans start at $1,999 a month, billed annually, with 20,000 tickets a year. Every BoldDesk plan, from $99 a month, includes unlimited human agents and unlimited tickets.
What moves from HappyFox?
Tickets with their replies and private notes, contacts, contact groups, knowledge base articles and tags move with their original dates. Our team recreates your smart rules, SLAs, canned actions, categories and roles, and walks your agents through go-live.
Where does HappyFox do better?
HappyFox has a two-year billing option with lower prices, a native voice product, and an IT service desk with asset management. If one of those is a must-have, weigh it before you switch.
What if we run out of AI credits?
Your plan, human agents and features keep working. We alert you at 80% and 100% of your credits. Top up at $40 per 1,000 credits, upgrade, or route new conversations to human agents until your credits reset. We never add overage charges automatically.
Which BoldDesk plan replaces our HappyFox plan?
HappyFox Basic and Team map to Scale AI ($99/month), Pro to Momentum AI ($499/month) and Enterprise Pro to Enterprise AI ($999/month), billed annually. Every plan includes unlimited human agents and a 15-day free trial.
Where is our data stored, and where does the AI process it?
You choose where BoldDesk stores your data when you sign up: the US, the EU (Netherlands), India or Australia, on every plan. AI and other processing happen mainly in the US, whichever storage region you pick. Enterprise AI adds HIPAA with a signed BAA, data redaction and IP restriction.
