The Best Outline Alternative For AI Help Center
Discover why Outline users are switching to BotDesk. Get advanced AI agents, fair pricing, and omni-channel support that scales with your growth.
The "Wiki" Limitation
Outline was built for the past. BotDesk delivers the AI-native speed, flexibility, and automation modern teams need to delight their customers.
Private by Default
Outline is designed for internal teams. Hosting a public help center requires workarounds or extra costs for your entire support team.
No Automation
Outline stores text. It does not have an active AI agent that can converse with users using that text for your entire support team today.
No Support Inbox
If a user reads a doc and is still confused, where do they go? In BotDesk, they just click "Chat" and get the support they need right now.
