Problem

AI support helped — until the bill jumped overnight

Resolution-based AI pricing makes support spend impossible to budget. Teams still need deflection; they just need a hard monthly ceiling.

Before

Resolution / Fin-style metering turns a stable inbox into a lottery bill ($119→$854, $4k→$9k reported)
Forced migrations and opaque AI usage leave finance guessing next month's support COGS
Alternatives exist — but reliable Intercom import + transparent AI ceilings are still fragmented

After

Flat seat pricing plus a published monthly AI resolution cap you can plan around
Hit the ceiling? Disable AI answers instead of auto-overage that nukes margin
One-click import of Intercom conversation history so migration is not a rewrite

Solution

What FlatDesk does

AI deflection you can put in a spreadsheet: seats, a hard monthly AI cap, and an exit hatch when volume spikes.

WHO

SMB SaaS with steady ticket volume, scared by Intercom/Zendesk AI usage or resolution pricing.

PROBLEM

AI helpdesk bills become unpredictable; teams still need answers without gambling on COGS.

SOLUTION

Flat seats + transparent monthly AI cap; over-cap AI can shut off; Intercom history import.

RESULT

Keep AI deflection and protect gross margin with a number finance already approved.

Features

Marketing points derived from the product hypothesis — for demand validation, not a formal spec promise.

🧱

Flat seat pricing

Predictable agent seats — the AI layer does not silently rewrite your invoice every month.

🎚️

Hard monthly AI cap

Publish a resolution/answer ceiling. Plan support COGS the way you plan infrastructure.

🛑

Over-cap AI shutoff

When you hit the limit, turn AI off instead of automatic overages that explode the bill.

📦

Intercom history import

Bring conversation history across so migration is operational, not a knowledge cliff.

🤖

Good-enough AI answers

Deflect repetitive tickets with RAG-style answers — without buying an unpredictable resolution meter.

How it works

A three-step loop matching the waitlist-stage product hypothesis.

1
Import your Intercom (or start fresh)
Bring conversation history or stand up a clean inbox in minutes.
2
Set seats + monthly AI ceiling
Finance-friendly numbers: how many agents, how many AI resolutions this month.
3
Deflect — or shut AI off at the cap
AI answers routine tickets; when the hard cap hits, humans stay online without surprise overage.

FAQ

How is FlatDesk different from Crisp, Help Scout, or Plain?

Many alternatives improve UX or pricing vs Intercom, but the gap we target is usable AI answers + a hard monthly AI ceiling + practical Intercom import in one package.

What happens when we hit the AI cap?

The hypothesis is simple: AI answers stop or degrade by your choice — humans keep working — instead of automatic billable overage.

Do you replace Intercom completely on day one?

Early access will focus on inbox + AI deflection + import. We will not invent a fake feature-parity checklist on this page.

When is early access?

Waitlist invites go out in batches by email. No fake launch date.
