Helport AI Limited is a technology company that builds artificial intelligence software for customer service and contact center operations. Its core product is an AI-powered assistant that helps human agents handle customer calls and chats more efficiently by providing real-time suggestions, automating repetitive tasks, and summarizing conversations. The company primarily serves businesses that run large customer support teams, such as companies in financial services, telecommunications, and retail.

Helport makes money by charging businesses software fees, typically based on usage or the number of agents using its platform. The company operates mainly in Asia, with a focus on markets in Southeast Asia and China, and is a relatively small player with a market cap under $100 million. Its 54.9% gross margin reflects the scalable nature of software, but as a small company competing against much larger AI vendors, its main risk is being crowded out by bigger players like Salesforce or Microsoft that are rapidly adding similar AI features to their own products.
