How does agent copilot work?
Agent copilot’s features span the full range of the agent workflow. From high-level context about a ticket to specific next steps and responses, agent copilot is always there to guide the agent while still leaving the agent in full control.
Watch the demo video below to see some of the agent copilot features in action, or read on for more information about all the features included in agent copilot.
Agent copilot featuring auto assist (4:43)
Auto assist
Auto assist uses a large language model (LLM) to understand the contents of submitted tickets and make suggestions to your agents on how to solve them. It can also automatically perform actions that have been approved by an agent. With auto assist, agents spend less time on repetitive tickets, solve tickets in a more consistent way, and ultimately close more tickets.
For more information, see Using auto assist to help agents solve tickets.
Suggested first replies
Suggested first replies use generative AI to suggest a first response for agents in tickets based on existing macros and help center articles. Using AI-generated suggestions to respond to tickets helps agents save time and increase productivity.
For more information, see Using AI to generate a first reply in a ticket.
Suggested macro badges and confidence levels
Suggested macro badges and confidence levels enhance existing suggested macro functionality. A red badge over the macro menu brings the agent’s attention to macros that may help them solve the current ticket. Within the macro menu, confidence level indicators show how likely it is that the macro is relevant to the ticket the agent is working on.
For more information, see Applying suggested macros to tickets.
Enhance writing
Enhance writing uses generative AI to improve the content of agent comments and help center content in different ways:
- Expand: Rephrases the content of an agent comment or selected help center content with additional language.
- Make more friendly: Changes the tone of an agent comment or selected help center content so that it sounds more conversational.
- Make more formal: Changes the tone of an agent comment or selected help center content so that it sounds more professional.
- Simplify (help center only): Changes the selected content of a help center article to be clearer and more concise.
- Summary (help center only): Displays a concise description of a help center article’s content.
For more information, see Enhancing ticket comments using generative AI, Using generative AI to expand and enhance help center content, and Using the new article editor with generative AI article summaries.
Ticket summaries
Ticket summaries use generative AI to recap the public comments that have been added to a ticket so far, helping agents get up to speed and respond to customers more quickly.
For more information, see Sumarizing ticket comments using generative AI.
Quick answers for Agent Workspace
Quick answers for Agent Workspace provide AI-generated answers to agents’ searches within Knowledge in the context panel. Agents can then copy the answer directly into the ticket or click the link to the source article that contains the generated answer.
For more information, see Using quick answers for generative search in tickets.
Similar tickets (EAP)
Similar tickets let agents see a list of resolved tickets that are similar to the one they’re currently working on. By seeing how similar issues were addressed, agents are able to solve tickets more efficiently.
For more information, see Finding tickets similar to the current ticket.
Merging suggestions
Merging suggestions identifies tickets that might be potentially merged with the ticket the agent is currently working on. These suggestions appear in the context panel within a ticket.
For more information, see Merging related tickets based on suggestions.
Intelligent triage predictions
Intelligent triage predictions, including intent, language, and sentiment, give agents additional context about the ticket that helps them resolve customer requests quickly.
For more information, see Viewing intelligent triage predictions.
Entity detection (EAP)
Entity detection allows you to define and detect unique information in tickets and messaging conversations. You can then use that information to populate associated custom ticket fields and power automated workflows and reports.
For more information, see Automatically detecting unique information in tickets.
