Tekst ingests customer messages from multiple communication channels (email, SMS, chat, social media) and normalizes them into a unified message format before routing to workflows. The platform uses channel-specific adapters that translate protocol-specific metadata (sender IDs, timestamps, attachments) into a common schema, enabling downstream workflow logic to operate channel-agnostically without reimplementation per channel.
Unique: Uses channel-specific adapter pattern with unified schema translation rather than a single message format, preserving channel-native metadata while enabling cross-channel workflow logic without reimplementation
vs alternatives: More flexible than Zendesk's channel routing because adapters are composable and extensible, vs Intercom's tighter channel coupling that requires channel-specific workflow branches
Tekst encrypts all customer messages at rest and in transit using TLS 1.3 for network transport and AES-256-GCM for storage encryption. The platform implements key management with per-tenant encryption keys, ensuring that even Tekst infrastructure cannot decrypt customer data without explicit key access. Encryption is applied at the message ingestion point before any processing, and decryption occurs only at the point of display or workflow execution.
Unique: Implements per-tenant encryption keys with customer-managed key option (BYOK), enabling organizations to retain full cryptographic control rather than relying on provider-managed keys
vs alternatives: Stronger security posture than Zendesk or Intercom, which offer encryption but retain key management; comparable to enterprise Slack or Teams but with tighter integration into support workflows
Tekst provides a library of pre-written response templates that agents can use to quickly reply to common customer inquiries. Templates support variable substitution (e.g., {{customer_name}}, {{ticket_id}}) and conditional sections (e.g., show billing info only if category is 'billing'). Agents can search templates by keyword, create custom templates, and track template usage. Templates can be organized by category and shared across teams. The system suggests relevant templates based on message category or customer history.
Unique: Supports conditional template sections and variable substitution with team-wide sharing and usage tracking, rather than simple copy-paste snippets
vs alternatives: More structured than manual snippets, but less intelligent than AI-powered response suggestions (e.g., Intercom's AI-suggested replies using LLMs)
Tekst maintains a complete conversation history for each customer across all channels and time periods, enabling agents to view full context when responding to new messages. The system automatically retrieves relevant past conversations (e.g., previous issues, purchases, complaints) and displays them alongside the current message. Context includes message text, attachments, resolution status, and associated tickets. Agents can manually search for specific past conversations or use AI-powered context suggestions (if enabled).
Unique: Maintains unified conversation history across all channels and time periods, enabling agents to see full customer context without manual channel switching
vs alternatives: More comprehensive than single-channel history (e.g., email-only), but less intelligent than AI-powered context summarization (e.g., Intercom's AI summaries)
Tekst provides dashboards and reports showing key support metrics: message volume, response time, resolution time, customer satisfaction (CSAT), agent utilization, and SLA compliance. Metrics are aggregated by time period (daily, weekly, monthly), team, agent, and category. Reports can be scheduled and emailed automatically. The system supports custom metrics and KPIs via formula-based calculations. Data is visualized in charts (line, bar, pie) and tables for easy analysis.
Unique: Provides pre-built dashboards for common support metrics (response time, resolution time, CSAT, SLA compliance) with customizable time periods and aggregations
vs alternatives: More integrated than external BI tools (Tableau, Looker) but less flexible; comparable to Zendesk or Freshdesk's native analytics
Tekst uses rule-based and machine-learning-based categorization to automatically classify incoming messages by intent, urgency, or topic, then routes them to appropriate teams or workflows. The system learns from historical message labels and routing decisions, building a classifier that improves over time. Routing rules are expressed as a declarative workflow language that supports conditional logic (if-then-else), team assignment, priority escalation, and SLA-based queuing.
Unique: Combines rule-based routing with incremental ML learning from historical decisions, allowing teams to start with explicit rules and gradually transition to learned patterns without manual retraining
vs alternatives: More transparent than Zendesk's black-box routing (rules are visible and debuggable), but less sophisticated than Intercom's AI-driven intent detection which uses deep learning on large corpora
Tekst provides a workflow engine that executes multi-step automation sequences triggered by message events (arrival, categorization, customer response). Workflows are defined declaratively using a state machine pattern, supporting branching (if-then-else), loops, delays, and external action invocations (API calls, CRM updates, email sends). The engine maintains workflow state across message interactions, enabling context-aware responses and multi-turn automation.
Unique: Uses explicit state machine pattern for workflows, making execution flow visible and debuggable, rather than implicit callback chains; supports long-running workflows with delays and human handoff points
vs alternatives: More transparent than Zapier's black-box automation (workflows are inspectable), but less feature-rich than enterprise workflow engines like Temporal or Airflow which support distributed execution and complex retry logic
Tekst provides pre-built connectors for popular CRM (Salesforce, HubSpot) and helpdesk (Jira Service Desk, Freshdesk) systems, enabling bidirectional data sync without custom API development. Integrations use webhook-based event streaming for real-time updates: when a message arrives in Tekst, customer data is fetched from the CRM; when a ticket is resolved in Tekst, the status is pushed back to the helpdesk. Integrations are configured through a UI with field mapping and transformation rules.
Unique: Provides pre-built connectors with UI-based field mapping and webhook-driven real-time sync, reducing integration friction compared to building custom API clients
vs alternatives: Faster to implement than custom REST API integrations, but less flexible than Zapier or MuleSoft for complex transformations; comparable to Intercom's native Salesforce integration but with broader platform support

Automatically generates vector embeddings for Strapi content entries using configurable AI providers (OpenAI, Anthropic, or local models). Hooks into Strapi's lifecycle events to trigger embedding generation on content creation/update, storing dense vectors in PostgreSQL via pgvector extension. Supports batch processing and selective field embedding based on content type configuration.
Unique: Strapi-native plugin that integrates embeddings directly into content lifecycle hooks rather than requiring external ETL pipelines; supports multiple embedding providers (OpenAI, Anthropic, local) with unified configuration interface and pgvector as first-class storage backend
vs alternatives: Tighter Strapi integration than generic embedding services, eliminating the need for separate indexing pipelines while maintaining provider flexibility
Executes semantic similarity search against embedded content using vector distance calculations (cosine, L2) in PostgreSQL pgvector. Accepts natural language queries, converts them to embeddings via the same provider used for content, and returns ranked results based on vector similarity. Supports filtering by content type, status, and custom metadata before similarity ranking.
Unique: Integrates semantic search directly into Strapi's query API rather than requiring separate search infrastructure; uses pgvector's native distance operators (cosine, L2) with optional IVFFlat indexing for performance, supporting both simple and filtered queries
