- Make more friendly: Changes the tone of your comment so that it sounds more conversational.
- Make more formal: Changes the tone of your comment so that it sounds more professional.

Expanding a comment you're composing
You can use the expand feature in the composer to save time while responding to a customer.
For example, say you initially type the following comment:
- "Sorry to hear, products are checked so damage happened in shipping. Replacement model sent urgently with different company. Gift included in package."
The Expand option might change this text to:
- "Hello Customer, I’m sorry to learn about the issue. The products are inspected, so the damage occurred during shipping. A replacement model is being sent out promptly via a different company. A gift will also be included in the package."
To expand a comment
- In the composer, type the main ideas of your reply.
- Select the text you want to expand on. If you don’t select any text, the entire reply is expanded on.
- Click the Enhance writing icon (
) and select Expand.
The system uses AI to generate additional text that fleshes out the reply. - Read through the expanded text to verify that it says what you want to say.
- Click Submit to update the ticket with the expanded reply.
Changing the tone of a comment you're composing
You can change the tone of your comment to make it either more conversational or more professional, depending on the tone dictated by your company’s brand.
For example, say you type: “We will do our best to assist you.”
- The Make more friendly option might change this text to: “We're excited to help you out and will do our very best to assist you!”
- The Make more formal option might change this text to: “We shall make every effort to provide you with the assistance you require.”
To change the tone of a comment
- In the composer, type your reply.
- Select the text you want to change the tone for. If you don’t select any text, the tone of the entire reply is changed.
- Click the Enhance writing icon (
) and select one of the following options:
- Make more friendly: Changes the tone to be more conversational.
-
Make more formal: Changes the tone to be more professional.
The system uses AI to update the text so that the tone is either more conversational or more professional.
- Read through the updated text to verify that it says what you want to say.
- Click Submit to update the ticket with the updated reply.

Hi all, thank you for the latest feedback.
iViking could you send examples of faulty summary at jkonikzendesk.com
We're aware of the language issue, AI returning agent-reply instead of summary and summary including bot messages, and we are trying to fix this, all though it's not straightforward.
Óskar Ómarsson at this stage we are not planning to add permissions, but they will be added sometime after GA.
Pratik you can sign up via the link at the top of this page.
Jiri Fait we released improvements to how summarize banner works but it seems it did not help all across the board - we'll investigate.

Hi,
If the user redacted some PII, does the call to OpenAI send the redacted or unredacted/original content when the user clicks the Generate summary button?

I don't see anyone mentioning side conversations being included in the summary.
We would also very much like to see internal notes being included in the ticket summary.

Hello. We just started testing, and the enhance and tone change features are nice, but it would be better if it showed a preview of the change before completing changing your original text. There's a chance we may not like the enhancement, but then the text has already been changed. Just some feedback.

Can the summary be used in a trigger and used as a placeholder in a message?

Agree with the comments above in that having the option to enable this on all ticket comments would be extremely valuable. We would want our tier 2 reps to be able to get a quick summary of our agents internal notes as opposed to reading every internal note in additional to the public comments summary.

It would be nice to be able to change the language the expand function uses. It defaults to US English so my agents need to adjust to UK

It would be nice to have the ability to track how often our agents are using the summarize feature. There doesn't seem to be any action that is noted in the ticket history or a tag that is applied to the ticket when the summarize feature is used. Is that something that could be made available in future?

Feedback:
Why when using the Enhance writing feature there is no option proposed to simply "Improve writing"? (Not make it longer (expend), more formal or friendly - just improve.)
We have this feature in Notion and we use it everyday. Currently we are sometimes still copy/pasting our replies in Notion and obtain very good results. This feature is really missing in your implementation. To me it doesn't make sense to not propose this option, which in my opinion the most common usage with generative LLM AIs.

For anyone else interested in getting a full ticket summary on all notes not just public comments - you can upvote here - AI - Ticket Summarization should also Summarize Internal Notes – Zendesk help

When the "enhance writing" option is used, is that logged anywhere? Where in the ticket (if anywhere) can we see that the agent used "enhance writing", even if we can't see the actual changes that were made?

Hi Jakub Konik - is it possible to see what tickets have used AI? We've opened up the pilot on our Zendesk instance, but it would be great to see what tickets have used the Tone change, etc, to correlate with any change in CSAT. Thanks!

This really needs to be in Zendesk chat on the app and web, that would be a game changer for Zendesk.

We need this in chat ASAP. To make responses more friendly should be easy to do.

Hello.
The banner is not appearing in our account.
It would be helpful to have it because it is way more visible and accessible from the main page, saving some clicks and remembering the agent about that option.
We are facing some backlog right now and decided to turn on summarization in case it can help, but if it's adding extra steps it might have a negative impact in productivity.
Thank you!

Hello,
When the ticket cannot be summarized because it exceeds the 12k words, it would be more clear if it was specified with a message like: this ticket exceeds the 12k words and summarization is not supported.
Otherwise the agents will report issues with the summarization tool when it's not a bug but expected behavior.
Thank you!

My team has been using these new tools for the last week. We really want to see an option to revert back to our original message when using enhance to expand or shift tone. Some of the changes are too far off from our personal voice that it would be easier to go back to the original.

Kris ctrl-z works like a champ. Easiest way to revert to your original message.

Danielle
Ctrl-Z does work, but it seems you have to use it a few times to revert back to the original message if you've expanded and enhanced the reply more than once, no? In that case, I would like to +1 the desire to have a button to revert back to original message button.

When can we expect further language support for Comment Enhancement? As mentioned earlier in the thread (https://support.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/5608712782362/comments/6206094391066) it defaults to US English, while we would like the option to have the Enhancement rendered in UK English.

Hi,
When we change the tone to Make more formal: the feature is switching the text to English sometimes while the tickets and the original written texts are in Spanish.

Is this not universally available yet? I have Generative AI turned on, have an enterprise account, but we cannot access any of the AI features. I signed up for the EAP last year as well. Just hoping to jump on a call to see how our team can start taking advantage.

I hope you are having a great day.
We have noticed that you have opened a support ticket with us. We are here to help ensure that all necessary features are activated and confirmed. We will be in touch there. Cheers!

Is there any plan to have generative AI work differently depending upon channel? I've noticed that in Live Chat when generative AI adds in the “Dear (replacement variable)” as the first line. That is desirable for email, but other channels it feels clumsy.

So are the options to use:
Now a paid service? As this was standard included in Zendesk.
