Ehsan's Recommendation
Contrarian take: you do not need a bigger team. You need smarter connections between ai chat and customer support tools. With Microsoft Copilot feeding into Freshdesk Freddy, you remove the biggest friction point in most project management workflows. The setup takes about 2 hours. Time savings compound weekly. Most teams break even by day 3.
