About Decagon

Decagon builds AI agents for customer support that autonomously resolve complex customer conversations across chat, email, voice, and SMS. Its Agent Operating Procedures (AOPs) let companies encode support workflows in natural language, and the platform integrates with existing helpdesks to deflect and resolve tickets end-to-end. Decagon is used by companies like Duolingo, Notion, Rippling, and Eventbrite, and reached a $1.5B valuation in 2025.
