A recent McKinsey study revealed that employees are three times more likely to be using generative AI (GenAI) today than their leaders expect. Yet, 48% feel they would use AI more if they got more training and support from their companies. That’s where a company AI policy, describing when, where, and how to use AI, comes in. A documented AI policy aligns everyone around a shared vision of working with AI and builds confidence that AI use can be strategic. Just as important, these guardrails ensure responsible usage — lowering data, security, and compliance risks.Front’s Head of IT, @gregkn Greg Karp-Neufeld, shares his practical guide for implementing an AI policy, including a free download of his AI Handbook template. 👉 Learn more here
Hello, Is there any way to embed in a knowledge base article other than the limited video/inline photo? Our Ops team has hundreds of “How-to’s” created using Scribe, and it appears that I will only be able to link it in the knowledge base article, not embed it. Is that true? If so, is there any ETA on when that may be possible (I know the KB is on the “newer” side)We would prefer to stay within Front and expand our users in the company to it but may be forced to buy an outside knowledge base depending on the capabilities. Appreciate any help!
Curious to hear from any previous Front implementors to see when they realized full value of all that Front has to offer.

Did you find to be shortly after adoption period? Three months in? Six months in? Would love to hear some of your experiences.

Ever wished remote support felt as connected as an in-office team? That’s why our support team created Queue Crushes — a structured, real-time collaboration session where our support team tackles cases together, shares insights, and strengthens teamwork. What started as a simple idea to bring back the ease of quick, in-person collaboration has evolved into a cornerstone of how we work.

Howdy, I am a new Front user and didn’t see where we can add Holidays to the Business hours rules. Can someone please guide me where to go. Thank you.
Hi Fronteers!I just saw the different AI features that Front has, AI compose for email, AI compose for knowledge base, AI Summarize.Is there a way to adjust the language and tone that the AI uses so that it resembles my way of communicating, and thus give a more personal touch to the text?Thank you!
Hello,Simple question that from what I see can not been done. In an accounts description can a star be added? We would like to include a 5 star rating system into our accounts descriptions. Maybe this is for the idea section or someone has figured out a way to enter something other than text into an account description.Thanks,Harry

My company is finding too much overlap between how Slack and Front are used, and would like to streamline everything into Front. Has anyone else done this? If you did, what were some of the ways you customized Front to allow for more casual type conversation that wasn’t about a specific customer or project?
One of the functions that I found very interesting is the SLC (Service Level Agreement). I think it is important to maintain a good response time with clients to continue having a good relationship with them.I found very useful the tool to add {{survey}} at the end of an email tread, should be great to measure customer satisfaction.Also great tool I will start using is the ''Compose with IA'', I think it is a great way to improve the tone of the email.
A great support experience isn’t just about solving problems — it’s about how you communicate. We’ve developed a thoughtful tone framework that ensures every interaction builds trust and strengthens customer relationships. Want to see how we do it? Check out our support team’s tone guidelines and get actionable tips to refine your team’s communication.
I'm here to share a bit of a frustration that seems to be growing more common. It feels like every software we subscribe to these days is trying to push their own AI services or tools on us, with no option to integrate the AI provider we already prefer.This feels eerily reminiscent of the smart home industry, where manufacturers have historically tried to lock you into their ecosystem. Thankfully, we're seeing progress there with the adoption of Matter.So the question is, when will we see a similar shift in the AI space? Front already integrates seamlessly with our existing email platforms. If my team uses Google Workspace and we're paying for Gemini, it would be fantastic if we could leverage Gemini's capabilities within Front as well.Let's be honest, most of us are already invested in AI tools from major providers. It would be a huge win for both users and software companies if we had the flexibility to choose our AI provider of choice.
