Klaus

Klaus is an AI-powered conversation review and quality assurance (QA) platform for customer support teams, founded in Tallinn, Estonia in 2019 and acquired by Zendesk in 2023, where it now ships as Zendesk QA. The product samples support conversations from connected help desks, scores them against configurable scorecards and rating categories, runs AutoQA checks, tracks disputes and calibration sessions, measures CSAT, and delivers coaching, quizzes and agent-performance dashboards. Klaus exposes two public REST APIs — a Public Import API for pushing conversations and users into QA from a custom help desk, and a Public Export API for pulling reviews, AutoQA ratings, CSAT, disputes, calibration sessions, scorecards, quizzes and users back out for external analysis. Both are documented as Swagger 2.0 specifications at pub.klausapp.com and authenticated with a bearer API token issued from a Zendesk QA custom integration.

Klaus publishes 2 APIs on the APIs.io network: PubImportApi API and PublicExportApi API. Tagged areas include Company, Quality Assurance, Customer Support, Customer Experience, and Conversation Analytics.

Klaus’ developer surface includes documentation, API reference, getting-started guide, support, engineering blog, pricing, signup flow, and 27 more developer resources.
