When to use Yesoma vs ChatGPT + Gmail

What is Yesoma?

Yesoma in plain English — the AI customer desk for service businesses, and what it does that an inbox doesn't.

The industry + business-model picker on day 1 seeds your workspace with services, policies, FAQs, reply templates, and a tone tuned to how businesses like yours actually operate. Here's what gets created + how to re-pick later.

Bulk import from a spreadsheet

Move customers, services, policies, FAQs, and reply templates into Yesoma in one pass — paste or upload a CSV.

Ask Yesoma AI and verify its sources

Learn which published Docs Ask Yesoma AI uses, what it can access, and how product guidance differs from customer Case AI.
