AI agents are the next generation of AI-powered bots that automate and resolve your customers’ issues across service channels. AI agents functionality is included in Zendesk Suite or Support plans, along with a number of automated resolutions used to measure usage of AI agents.
The Advanced AI add-on also offers AI features to assist agents and optimize operations for admins. To compare AI agents and Advanced AI features, see Zendesk AI and Advanced AI at a glance.
