Ultimate.ai

Ultimate.ai was a Helsinki- and Berlin-based customer support automation platform - virtual agents and chatbots with intent recognition and agent-assist - backed by HV Capital and Techstars. Zendesk acquired Ultimate.ai in 2024 and the product now ships as Zendesk AI agents (the "AI agents - Advanced" add-on); ultimate.ai redirects to zendesk.com and the successor AI Agents APIs (Chat, Ticket, Widget Escalation, Data Export, Delete User Data plus webhooks) are documented on developer.zendesk.com, with API keys still generated from the Ultimate.ai dashboard. The legacy Ultimate.ai Public API on chat.ultimate.ai is retired.

Ultimate.ai publishes 2 APIs on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Company, Ai Enterprise Software, Customer-Support, Conversational AI, and Chatbots.

The Ultimate.ai catalog on APIs.io includes 1 event-driven AsyncAPI specification.

Ultimate.ai’s developer surface includes documentation, API reference, authentication, and 6 more developer resources.

Create-or-Update Ergonomics could not be measured. We hold no machine-readable contract for this provider to read, so there is nothing to measure a write surface against. Excluded rather than scored zero: never-measured and measured-empty are different facts. Publishing an OpenAPI is what makes this facet — and several others — scorable at all.
Improve this rating by publishing the missing artifacts — every area above can be raised, and the full rubric is at apis.io/rating/. Every facet and dimension name above is a link: it opens that measurement's own page — what it means, the exact checks that feed it, how the whole catalog distributes on it, and the providers at the top of it. This rating is computed from github.com/api-evangelist/ultimateai: open an issue to ask a question, or submit a pull request to add artifacts.
