# Build with Protodesk

> Connect your product, automate support workflows, and connect an AI assistant to your workspace.

Protodesk brings customer conversations into one workspace. Use the REST API to connect customer records, manage conversations, and respond to events. Connect an AI assistant through hosted MCP for workspace operations, or use Help Center authoring tools to prepare content for human review.
