Cake for Customer Service Agents and Chatbots
Build low-latency, multi-turn AI assistants using open-source models and frameworks that are ready for production across any cloud or edge environment.






Overview
Generative agents are reshaping how businesses interact with customers. But turning a demo into a responsive, trustworthy customer-facing system, like a chatbot, takes more than just an LLM and a prompt.
Cake gives you a composable, cloud-agnostic framework for deploying real-time agents that can retrieve data, call tools, and carry on meaningful conversations. With support for low-latency serving, streaming outputs, and stateful reasoning, you can build systems that actually meet user expectations, without stitching together brittle infrastructure.
Whether you’re automating chat, voice, or embedded agent copilots, Cake helps you operationalize it faster with compliance, observability, and open-source components that scale. With Cake, you get the benefits of the cutting-edge open-source tools minus the hassle of manually stitching them together.
Key benefits
-
Accelerate time to deployment: Launch chatbots and assistants faster without building infrastructure from scratch.
-
Stay current: Keep your agent stack updated with the latest open-source models and tools.
-
Run in real time: Stream outputs, manage state, and maintain low latency at scale.
-
Avoid vendor lock-in: Use a composable architecture that fits your cloud and data needs.
THE CAKE DIFFERENCE
From dead-end bots to agents
that actually resolve issues
Scripted Chatbots
Predefined flows that frustrate more than they help: Legacy bots rely on rigid scripts and keyword triggers, offering poor experiences.
- Can only handle narrow, predefined use cases
- Breaks easily when users deviate from the expected path
- No memory, reasoning, or integration with backend systems
- Fails to resolve complex issues or drive user satisfaction
Result:
High containment goals, but low customer satisfaction and high escalation rates
Customer Support Agents with Cake
Goal-driven agents that solve real customer problems: Cake lets you deploy LLM-powered agents that retrieve, reason, and take action.
- Agents handle multi-turn conversations with real context
- Can integrate with APIs, databases, and internal tools
- Memory and planning enable agents to work across steps
- Built-in evals and observability ensure performance and compliance
Result:
Higher resolution rates, faster response times, and better customer experience
EXAMPLE USE CASES
How teams use Cake to deploy
customer-facing agents
Conversational support copilots
Assist human agents during live chats by surfacing relevant knowledge, suggesting responses, and summarizing past interactions in real time.
Sales agents and onboarding bots
Deliver real-time, multi-turn guidance to new users, prospects, or partners using internal documentation and APIs.
Embedded product agents
Integrate intelligent assistance directly into SaaS apps or customer portals, no context switching required.
24/7 customer support automation
Deploy AI agents to handle common inquiries (e.g., order status, refunds, or password resets) without burdening live staff.
In-product onboarding and guidance
Use chatbots to walk users through setup flows, surface help docs, or answer feature questions directly inside the product.
Fielding complex service requests
Enable agents to handle multi-intent conversations, such as rescheduling appointments, updating insurance policies, or processing claims.
IN DEPTH
AI voice agents that scale customer service (without scaling costs)
Use open-source, low-latency components to build production-ready voice agents optimized for speed, scale, and integration with enterprise data.
