Best Use Cases
Ehsan's Growth Take
Thankful was a strong standalone AI agent that got acquired into Gladly's premium ecosystem. If you're already paying Gladly prices, the automation is a genuine value-add. But if you were evaluating Thankful independently, that option is gone — and Gladly's $180+/seat minimum makes this automation layer very expensive per resolution.
