Intelligence is a section of the context panel in the Zendesk Agent Workspace that shows agents the following information:
- The ticket’s predicted intent, language, and sentiment. This information comes from intelligent triage, and is intended to give agents additional context about the ticket. For more information, see Automatically triaging tickets based on intent, language, and sentiment.
- The top three suggested macros. These suggestions are based on the content of the ticket and help agents provide the requester with quick and efficient support. Suggested macros appear only if your account includes enough macro usage data. For more information, see Using suggested macros.

Are there plans to make this available for lower tier plans like Growth and Professional, or will this be restricted to Enterprise and up?
When will this feature be fully available for all plans?
Hi Oliver,
We are only supporting Retail and Ecommerce industries (B2C) for the time being. You can check the industry-related requirements here. These are the same for both Intelligent triage and Smart assist.
We will be adding more industries during the coming year and will notify you once your industry is supported.
Is this being rolled out to to all Enterprise users? if so when can we expect it?
When will this be released?
Will there be any plans for the tickets to automatically generate a summary once they are closed that can be pulled from explore? When we are reviewing potential issues and problems, having a summarization of each ticket would be very valuable as opposed to having someone manually review all tickets matching certain criteria.
