Freshsales Review: How Freddy AI Enhances Sales Efficiency

Freddy AI is the artificial intelligence layer of the Freshsales CRM (Freshworks). It analyses emails, learns from historical data, and provides real-time recommendations to prioritise leads, accelerate the sales cycle, and suggest the “next best action” within the pipeline.

In the SMB market, where time and resources are limited, an AI-powered CRM that automates lead qualification and drafts communications saves hours of manual work and improves conversion rates.

AgentAya Verdict: Freshsales

Freddy AI delivers tangible value to SMBs in Latin America and Spain: it prioritises contacts using predictive scoring, summarises email threads, and recommends actions that help close deals faster, without requiring a large technical team.

A point to watch: some AI features and add-ons may depend on the plan or need to be purchased separately; it’s worth confirming availability before scaling up users. For small businesses seeking a CRM with built-in, usable, and secure AI, Freshsales + Freddy is a solid choice.

Our recommendation: test it with real data during the free trial to measure its impact on conversion and sales efficiency.

Key Features of Freshsales

• Integrated email and telephony to log interactions and maintain context.
• Automations (tasks, reminders, assignments) to eliminate manual work.
• Reports and dashboards to track sales performance.

How it helps SMBs: centralises information, reduces repetitive work, and prioritises higher-value opportunities—improving conversion rates without increasing headcount.

AI Features

Freddy AI analyses emails and sales history to infer intent, risk, and probability, providing contextual recommendations (e.g. “schedule a demo,” “send follow-up”) directly inside the CRM.

It generates and rewrites email drafts, summarises long conversations, and scores contacts using predictive models trained on your own data—delivering intelligent automation (contextual insights and text) instead of traditional static rules.

Result: less time spent sorting leads, more time closing deals.

Integrations

Freshsales integrates natively with the Freshworks suite (Freshdesk for support, Freshchat for chat/messaging, Freshmarketer for marketing) and with popular tools via the marketplace, Zapier, and API (Google Workspace / Microsoft 365, Slack, Zoom, Calendly, accounting platforms).

For WhatsApp, the most stable route is through Freshchat or other certified connectors; confirm coverage by plan and country.

Freshworks Platform (overview): marketplace with over 1,000 apps, custom objects, Freddy AI (Agent, Copilot, Insights), messaging, collaboration, low-code analytics, admin centre, developer portal, and unified data to extend and govern your solution securely.

Data Security and Compliance

Freshworks publishes its Trust Center with certifications such as ISO/IEC 27001, ISO/IEC 27701, SOC 2 Type II, SOC 3, and PCI DSS v4.0, along with references to GDPR/CCPA.
The platform applies encryption in transit and at rest, access controls, and regular audits. Authentication supports enterprise options (SSO / MFA) depending on product and plan.

Language – Customer Support and Interface

Freshworks offers global support via knowledge base, forums, tickets, and live channels. Spanish-language support availability may vary by region and product. It’s recommended to confirm channels and hours for Latin America or Spain during onboarding.

The help centre is primarily in English, and the website is partially translated.
The product interface and main menus are available in 17 languages, including English, Spanish, and Portuguese.

The Freshsales interface is available in Spanish, and Freddy AI supports multiple languages (including Spanish for Spain and Latin America) for most functions: writing, summarising, sentiment analysis, and automatic translation.

AI Language – Within the Tool

In Freshworks service tools such as Freshchat or Freshdesk Omni, the agent interface can be configured in 36 languages, including English, Spanish, and Portuguese.

Interestingly, the system supports right-to-left (RTL) display for Arabic and Hebrew.
The chat and self-service systems are multilingual, and modules such as Freshchat allow topics, FAQs, and auto-responses in over 40 languages, including English, Spanish, and Portuguese.

This enables support and communication in customers’ preferred language without manual translation.
Some advanced capabilities, particularly contextual generation and predictive analysis, remain available only in English, so case-by-case validation is advised.

Mobile Access

Freshsales offers iOS and Android apps for managing contacts, deals, calls, emails, and updating pipeline stages while on the go.
They are fully functional for daily operations, though certain advanced AI features are best experienced in the web interface.

Support, Onboarding, and Account Management

Onboarding is supported through documentation, guides, and the Freshworks Academy (courses, webinars, demos), as well as technical support and implementation resources. For SMBs without a technical team, the standard flow is sufficient: import data, configure pipeline, connect email/telephony, and activate automations — then add Freddy for scoring and recommendations.

Professional Services (summary):

• Onboarding Packages: Basic (1:1 sessions), Silver (quick deployment), Gold (guided setup), Platinum (deep customisation), Enterprise (tailored plan).
• Specialised Services: Managed Services (admin & best practices), Freshchat Services (end-to-end bot implementation), Premium Support (dedicated 24/7), and Premier Advisory (strategic enterprise guidance).
• Official Resources: resource centre with demos, guides, research, customer stories, community, training, support, and events. Demos with the Freshworks LATAM team are available on request.

Ease of Use / UX

The user experience is clean and straightforward, with clear navigation and a short learning curve.
Because Freddy is embedded directly in the CRM context, recommendations are easy to understand and apply, reducing the adaptation time for SMBs adopting AI-powered CRM for the first time.

Pricing and Plans

Free trial available. Freshsales offers a wide range of tiered plans and add-ons to expand capabilities (e.g. AI modules or advanced functions), with flexible billing and the ability to scale by number of users.

It’s recommended to check details on the official site and verify which AI features are included or require add-ons depending on your plan.

Case Study

A B2B agency in Mexico City with three salespeople received 60–80 weekly inquiries via forms and email.
After activating Freshsales + Freddy, the team imported historical leads, connected Gmail, and defined its pipeline.
Within two weeks, predictive scoring highlighted high-intent contacts; email summaries eliminated the need to read long threads, and the team followed recommendations to schedule demos.

Results after 45 days: higher demo-to-proposal conversion rates and less time spent manually classifying leads.
