Zendesk is built for enterprise. You need something that works out of the box, costs less, and actually uses AI to answer questions instead of just routing tickets.
Free plan included. No credit card. No coding.
AI that actually answers questions
Zendesk Answer Bot suggests help articles. Namiru.ai reads your entire website and generates direct, conversational answers to customer questions.
Setup in minutes, not weeks
No implementation consultants, no onboarding calls, no complex configuration. Paste your URL, get a working chatbot, embed it. Done.
Pricing that makes sense for SMBs
Zendesk Suite starts at $55/agent/month with essential features locked behind higher tiers. Namiru.ai has a free plan and transparent per-conversation pricing.
Simple without being simplistic
Customize your chatbot personality, system message, and escalation rules. You get the controls you need without a 200-page admin panel.
No training data required
Zendesk bots need you to build intent models and write training phrases. Namiru.ai learns from your website automatically. No NLP configuration needed.
Built for the AI-first era
Zendesk bolted AI onto a legacy ticketing system. Namiru.ai was designed from day one as an AI-native customer support platform.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why switch from Zendesk to Namiru.ai?
Zendesk is a powerful enterprise ticketing platform, but most small and mid-size businesses use only a fraction of its features while paying full price. If your main need is answering customer questions on your website, Namiru.ai does this better and cheaper with AI that actually resolves inquiries instead of just routing tickets.
How is Namiru.ai different from Zendesk Answer Bot?
Zendesk Answer Bot searches your help center and suggests article links. Namiru.ai reads your entire website, understands the content, and generates direct conversational answers. Customers get a real response, not a list of articles to read themselves.
Can I use Namiru.ai alongside Zendesk?
Yes. You can run Namiru.ai as your front-line chatbot to handle common questions while keeping Zendesk for complex ticket management. The chatbot can collect details and your team can create Zendesk tickets manually for issues that need follow-up.
Does Namiru.ai have a ticketing system?
Namiru.ai focuses on resolving customer questions through AI chat, not managing support tickets. If you need a full ticketing workflow with SLAs, macros, and escalation queues, Zendesk is better suited. If you want AI that actually answers questions, Namiru.ai is the better choice.
What does Zendesk cost compared to Namiru.ai?
Zendesk Suite starts at $55/agent/month (billed annually) for their basic plan. AI features are additional add-ons. Namiru.ai starts free and paid plans use simple per-conversation pricing with no per-agent fees. A team of 5 could save $3,000+ per year by switching.
Is migration from Zendesk complicated?
There is no migration needed. Namiru.ai works independently by learning from your website content. You can set it up in minutes while still running Zendesk, test it, and transition at your own pace.
