LiveAgent vs Tiledesk: at a glance
What is LiveAgent?
LiveAgent's 5.70 branch adds Mistral and Gemini, live call transcription and message translation.
LiveAgent's 5.70 branch arrived with a large feature batch: Mistral AI as an EU-hosted provider, Gemini and OpenAI for ticket summaries and translation, live call transcription with speaker attribution, and on-demand translation of inbound messages. It also adds a Deskpro migration plugin and plan limits on event, time and SLA rules. The releases since are fix-only, mostly around chat widget errors and API gaps.
What is Tiledesk?
Tiledesk's feed is a content marketing blog, not a changelog
The Tiledesk feed carries marketing articles rather than release notes — how-to pieces on building AI agents for lead qualification, time-off approvals and ecommerce sales advice, each syndicated with an Italian boilerplate footer. No version numbers, shipped features or dated releases appear anywhere in the window.

◆ Current state
LiveAgent's 5.70 branch arrived with a large feature batch: Mistral AI as an EU-hosted provider, Gemini and OpenAI for ticket summaries and translation, live call transcription with speaker attribution, and on-demand translation of inbound messages. It also adds a Deskpro migration plugin and plan limits on event, time and SLA rules. The releases since are fix-only, mostly around chat widget errors and API gaps.
◆ Where it's heading
The AI layer is turning multi-provider: OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini and Mistral now sit side by side, with retired OpenAI models migrated automatically. Voice and translation are where that layer is being applied first. The paired 5.69 and 5.70 releases on the same day show two branches being maintained in parallel.
◆ Prediction
Expect message translation to move past its 'Stage 1' on-demand scope, likely toward outbound or automatic translation. Further 5.69/5.70 fix pairs are likely in the meantime.

Tiledesk's feed is a content marketing blog, not a changelog
◆ Current state
The Tiledesk feed carries marketing articles rather than release notes — how-to pieces on building AI agents for lead qualification, time-off approvals and ecommerce sales advice, each syndicated with an Italian boilerplate footer. No version numbers, shipped features or dated releases appear anywhere in the window.
◆ Where it's heading
The publishing pattern points at where Tiledesk positions itself — agentic workflows with human approval steps, MCP-based tool access, self-learning from human resolutions — but positioning is all these posts establish. Product movement would have to be read from a different source.
◆ Prediction
Expect more of the same use-case articles; this feed will not indicate when Tiledesk actually ships anything.
