Agents that work while you're not looking.

A ticket arrives

A customer sends a message on Slack, email, or any other channel. Pylon creates the issue.

Background Agent kicks off automatically

Your trigger fires — no human required. Background Agent starts investigating: reading the issue, pulling account history, searching your knowledge base, checking your codebase, logs, and connected tools.

Investigation status is visible in real time

Your team can see that Background Agent is working and what it's doing. No black box. When it's done, the results appear directly in the issue.

Your team opens an already investigated ticket

Summary. Key context. Suggested next steps and draft. Everything the agent found is waiting — organized, cited, and ready to act on.

"Pylon's agents are the only agents useful enough for me to want our agents to talk to them."

Frequently asked questions
What is a Background Agent in customer support?

A background AI agent investigates support tickets the moment they arrive, before any human opens them. It reads the issue, pulls account history, searches your knowledge base and connected tools, and hands your team a ticket that's already been investigated. Your team spends less time on pre-work (searching for docs, finding logs, deciding who should own it) and more time on actual resolution.

How does Pylon's Background Agent handle ticket pre-work before a human sees it?

Background Agent kicks off automatically the moment a ticket arrives. It reads the issue, pulls account history, searches your knowledge base, checks your codebase and logs, and queries connected tools. By the time your team opens the ticket, the summary, key context, suggested next steps, and a draft response are already waiting, organized, cited, and ready to act on.

Can I control which tools and data the Background Agent has access to?

Yes. You choose exactly which tools Background Agent can use: your knowledge base, connected integrations, codebase and logs, account data, internal APIs, and set the trigger conditions that determine when it runs. Admins see everything; there are no hidden permissions.

What types of tasks can Pylon’s Background Agent automate without customer interaction?

Background Agent isn't just for pre-investigation: it can run any background workflow your team currently repeats manually. Examples include auto-creating Linear issues when feature requests come in, analyzing response quality when tickets close, updating knowledge base articles based on resolved issues, and kicking off custom workflows triggered by issue events. All configurable in plain English, no code required.

Can Pylon’s Background Agent fetch CRM or account data automatically before routing a ticket?

Yes, and it goes well beyond CRM lookup. Background Agent pulls account history, searches your knowledge base, checks your codebase and logs, and queries any connected tool you've granted access to (CRM, billing, internal APIs). By the time the issue lands on a human's desk, all of that context is already attached.
