DevRev exists to close the gap between the people who hear about problems and the people who fix them. Founded in 2020 by Dheeraj Pandey, the co-founder and former CEO of Nutanix, and Manoj Agarwal, a former Nutanix engineering SVP, it unifies customer support and product development on one platform: tickets link directly to the product parts and engineering work they relate to, so a support conversation and the bug it uncovered live in the same system instead of being lobbed between Zendesk and Jira.
The AI story has grown ambitious. DevRev now describes its platform as "Computer," built on a knowledge graph it calls native shared memory, with Agent Studio for building AI agents, enterprise search across live data from connected apps, AirSync to mirror data in from tools like Jira, Salesforce, and Slack, and conversational analytics that answer questions in plain English. For support teams specifically, its agents deflect customer questions, triage and route issues to the right owners, and surface product insights from ticket volume. The company raised a $100.8 million Series A led by Khosla Ventures in 2024, reaching unicorn status at a $1.15 billion valuation.
Commercially it moved to freemium: a free Mini tier with one-click connectors, then consumption-based Pro and Max tiers priced through sales.
DevRev suits product-led software companies that feel the support-to-engineering handoff as daily friction, and buyers comfortable betting on an expansive platform vision rather than a narrow tool. If you want a simple help desk with a bot, this is more machine than you need; if support is upstream of your roadmap, it is a genuinely different idea.

Pylon is what a help desk looks like when you start from Slack instead of email. Founded in late 2022 by Advith Chelikani, Marty Kausas, and Robert Eng through Y Combinator, it noticed that modern B2B support had quietly moved into shared Slack Connect and Teams channels, where traditional ticketing systems are blind. Pylon makes those channels first-class support surfaces: threads become tracked issues with owners and SLAs, AI answers routine questions in-channel from your docs and past conversations, and everything rolls up into proper reporting alongside email and in-app chat.
The company has grown at a pace that turned heads, reporting five-fold-plus revenue growth in consecutive years, over a thousand B2B customers including Together AI, Cognition, Temporal, AssemblyAI, and HackerRank, and a $31 million Series B co-led by Andreessen Horowitz and Bain Capital Ventures in 2025, bringing total funding to $51 million. Its positioning has sharpened into "the agentic support platform" for B2B, with a family of named AI agents, Support, Assist, Background, and Slack, plus account intelligence that surfaces health signals across every customer conversation.
Pricing starts at $59 per seat per month billed annually, with AI capabilities sold as add-ons, including a per-resolved-ticket component for the autonomous agents; there is no free plan, and Enterprise carries seat minimums.
Pylon is the obvious shortlist item for post-sales teams at B2B software companies, especially where customers already live in shared Slack channels and the support, success, and solutions functions blur together. If your support is consumer email and chat volume, the e-commerce and SMB tools in this directory will fit better.
