Direct answer
What is Tars?
Tars is an AI agent platform that enables organizations to build, test, and deploy conversational customer service and sales agents across web, WhatsApp, and email using RAG and 700+ tool integrations.
Tars is an AI agent platform engineered to automate customer support and lead acquisition workflows without losing context across contact channels. Built around a closed loop of building, testing, deploying, analyzing, and improving, the platform allows teams to set agent instructions, connect authoritative knowledge, and wire up execution tools. The system's RAG engine ingests unstructured assets such as PDFs, website documentation, and Notion workspaces using semantic chunking, vector embeddings, and hybrid keyword-semantic retrieval. Chunks are re-ranked by relevance before generating responses, grounding answers in verified knowledge to limit hallucinations. Changes made to knowledge sources synchronize with active agents in real time. A primary focus of Tars is pre-deployment validation. Its AI Evaluation suite generates synthetic conversation datasets from connected sources and rates agent responses across Answer Accuracy, Context Relevance, and Answer Faithfulness. Teams can incorporate human feedback scores, review failed runs, and establish data-backed quality thresholds before deploying agents into production. Once live, agents operate across Web widgets, WhatsApp, and Email within a unified conversation thread. Using visual Tool Gambits, agents orchestrate actions across external systems—updating CRM records, checking inventory, booking appointments, or generating support tickets in real time.
Unlike conversational builders that rely on live trial-and-error, Tars incorporates an end-to-end evaluation suite that generates synthetic test sets to benchmark accuracy, relevance, and faithfulness against custom quality thresholds before deployment.
