About Hugo AI

Hugo AI is a no-code customer support agent that answers questions using a company's own documents, FAQs, knowledge base, and connected tools. It maintains context across multi-turn conversations, connects to live data and performs actions via the Model Context Protocol (MCP), and escalates to human agents with full conversation history when needed. It works with multiple LLMs (Claude, ChatGPT, Llama, or your own model), syncs automatically with helpdesks and CRMs, and hosts data on European servers.
