Hey Deacon
Deacon is an AI customer support and user insights platform delivered as a SaaS. It is designed to answer customer questions in real time, guide users through product features, and collect feedback, all based on a company’s own documentation, website URLs, and how-to videos. The service is positioned to be installed quickly and to provide support as if a knowledgeable assistant were available at all hours, in multiple languages. Deacon also offers proactive onboarding by introducing features a user has not yet discovered. The platform includes a dashboard for managing knowledge sources, reviewing conversation logs, and seeing summaries of user requests and priorities. Deacon performs fact-checking by scoring answers against the ingested knowledge base and flags when a reply is not supported, rather than guessing. It also identifies knowledge gaps where customer questions are not addressed by existing material, helping teams improve their documentation over time. Deacon targets founders and product teams who want to reduce support burden, improve activation and onboarding, and gather actionable product feedback from all users rather than a vocal minority. The homepage highlights customer-reported outcomes such as reduced bounce rates, improved conversions, and lower support costs compared to traditional solutions.
