Deploy and manage AI agents with ease
Helpmaton is a workspace-based platform that empowers you to create, configure, and deploy AI agents for your applications. Organize your agents, manage knowledge bases, and integrate seamlessly through webhooks and APIs.
Helpmaton is a comprehensive AI agent management platform designed for teams and developers who need to deploy intelligent assistants at scale. Whether you're building customer support bots, internal knowledge assistants, or specialized AI workflows, Helpmaton provides the infrastructure and tools to make it happen.
Available as a fully managed SaaS platform at helpmaton.com, you can get started in minutes without any infrastructure setup.
Create workspaces to organize your AI agents and their knowledge bases. Each agent can be configured with custom system prompts and has access to documents you upload, enabling context-aware responses tailored to your specific use case. Agents expose webhook endpoints that can be integrated into any application or service.
- Customer Support: Deploy intelligent support agents that understand your product documentation
- Internal Knowledge Bases: Create assistants that help teams find information quickly
- Chat Platform Bots: Deploy your agents as Slack or Discord bots for team collaboration and community engagement
- Research Assistants: Build agents that can search the web for current information, find recent articles, and analyze web content
- News Monitoring: Create agents that monitor news, track industry developments, and provide real-time updates
- Content Analysis: Deploy agents that extract and summarize content from web pages, articles, and online resources
- Specialized Workflows: Build domain-specific agents for technical documentation, legal research, or any specialized field
- API Integration: Embed AI capabilities into your applications via webhook endpoints
Organize your agents and documents into workspaces. Perfect for teams managing multiple projects or departments, each with their own isolated environment.
Create and configure AI agents with custom system prompts. Define their behavior, personality, and response style. Each agent gets its own webhook endpoint for easy integration.
Upload markdown and text documents to build knowledge bases for your agents. Organize documents into folders and keep them updated as your information evolves.
Agents remember important facts, people, and events from conversations through a stratified memory architecture. Memories are progressively summarized across temporal grains (daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly, yearly) and searchable via semantic vector search, enabling context-aware responses informed by past interactions.
Give your agents access to real-time, up-to-date information beyond their training data. Enable web search and content extraction tools to make your AI assistants more capable and current.
Web Search (search_web): Agents can search the web for current information, news, articles, and research. Perfect for finding the latest developments, answering questions about recent events, or discovering new resources. Search results include titles, URLs, content snippets, and relevance scores.
Content Extraction (fetch_url): Extract and summarize content from any web page URL. Agents can read and understand specific web pages, analyze articles, extract key information, and provide insights from any online content.
Key Advantages:
- Real-Time Information: Access current information that isn't in training data
- Always Current: Answer questions about recent events, news, and developments
- Cost-Effective: Free daily allowance (10 calls/day) with transparent pay-as-you-go pricing ($0.008 per additional call)
- Easy Integration: Enable per-agent with simple toggle switches
- Intelligent Extraction: Automatically extracts main content, titles, and metadata from web pages
Pricing: Free tier includes 10 calls per 24 hours. Paid tiers get 10 free calls per day, then $0.008 per additional call. Perfect for research assistants, news monitoring, and content analysis workflows.
Agents come with a comprehensive set of built-in tools and can be extended with MCP (Model Context Protocol) servers to connect to external APIs and services.
Built-in Tools:
- Document Search: Semantic vector search across workspace documents
- Memory Search: Recall past conversations and information from the agent's memory system
- Web Search: Search the web for current information, news, and articles
- Web Fetch: Extract and summarize content from any web page URL
- Email Sending: Send emails using workspace email connections
- Notification Sending: Send notifications to Discord channels (with API support for Slack)
- Agent Delegation: Agents can delegate tasks to other agents in the workspace, with support for async delegation, query-based matching, and delegation tracking
Extensibility: Configure MCP servers with custom authentication and enable them per-agent to give your AI assistants access to databases, business logic, weather APIs, and any other external services you need.
Credit System: Purchase credits and pay only for what you use with transparent, usage-based billing. Credits are automatically reserved before LLM calls and adjusted after based on actual token usage, with atomic operations preventing race conditions.
Bring Your Own Key (BYOK): Use your own LLM API keys instead of credits. Pay providers directly while still benefiting from Helpmaton's infrastructure, analytics, and management features.
Spending Limits: Set granular daily, monthly, or yearly spending limits at both workspace and individual agent levels to prevent runaway costs and maintain budget control.
Advanced Pricing: Support for tiered pricing models (different rates based on token thresholds), separate reasoning token billing, and tracking of cached prompt tokens for accurate cost calculation.
Comprehensive token usage tracking across all dimensions: prompt tokens, completion tokens, reasoning tokens, and cached tokens. View detailed usage statistics with daily and hourly aggregation, historical data with date range filtering, and per-workspace or per-agent breakdowns.
Error Tracking: Conversations automatically persist and display errors when LLM calls fail, including detailed error messages, stack traces, provider information, and metadata. Error badges in conversation lists and detailed error views help you quickly identify and debug issues.
Request trial credits to test the platform risk-free. The free plan includes 1 workspace and 1 agent with 7-day access, perfect for evaluation. After the trial period, agents are blocked until you upgrade to a paid plan.
Multiple authentication methods to fit your workflow: session-based authentication for web users, JWT tokens with 24-hour expiration for API access, workspace API keys for programmatic integration, and OAuth support for email-based login.
Pro plan subscriptions support multiple managers with shared access to all workspaces. Perfect for teams that need collaborative management of AI agents and resources, with unlimited managers on Pro plans.
Automatic memory management with subscription plan-based retention periods. Free plans retain 48 hours of working memory and 30 days of daily summaries, while Pro plans extend to 240 hours and 120 days respectively. Old memories are automatically cleaned up to optimize storage.
Get real-time, streaming responses from your agents using Server-Sent Events (SSE) or Lambda Function URLs. Perfect for chat interfaces, interactive applications, and real-time user experiences. Responses stream token-by-token as they're generated, providing immediate feedback and a smooth conversational experience.
Every agent exposes a webhook endpoint that accepts HTTP requests. Send messages and receive AI-powered responses, making integration with your applications straightforward. Supports both synchronous responses and streaming via dedicated streaming endpoints.
Deploy your agents as Slack or Discord bots, enabling team members and community users to interact with your AI agents directly in their favorite chat platforms. Create integrations that connect your agents to Slack workspaces or Discord servers, with full support for mentions, commands, and direct messages.
