What is ReleaseDock
ReleaseDock is a unified customer support platform that combines an AI agent, a help center, and an announcement system into a single embeddable widget. It allows teams to manage live chat, AI-assisted support, self-serve knowledge base, and product updates from one dashboard, all hosted on the customer's brand.
