SUPPORT
Velocity2.5

Helpdesk and customer support software with ticketing, live chat, and AI tools

Deskpro 2026.5 turns to accessibility after a year of AI governance work.

helpdeskaccessibilityai governanceprivate aiperformance
◆Current state
Deskpro ships large releases every two to three months. From 2025.6 onward each release has focused on private and governed AI: own-infrastructure models, selective re-indexing, more model choices and server-side datasource access in 2026.4. 2026.5 in October shifts to improving screen reader and keyboard support across agent and admin interfaces, and speeding up snippets and tickets.
◆Where it's heading
With the AI controls in place, Deskpro is now working on the core help desk experience. The release cadence has stayed steady at roughly two months.
◆Prediction
Expect 2026.6 around December; whether it returns to AI features or continues on accessibility is unclear.

    Selective AI re-indexing for large help desks

    Scale work on the AI layer: editing one datasource no longer re-indexes everything, which is what made the feature practical on large help desks rather than merely available.
