About similar tickets

Similar tickets uses generative AI to identify tickets that are considered similar to the one the agent is currently working on. Similar tickets appear in the Agent Workspace.

The similar tickets feature supports tickets created across all channels except for live chat, native messaging, social messaging, and voice channels. Additionally, the feature works with the languages listed here.

To be considered similar, tickets must:

  • Be in the same brand.
  • Be in a status of Solved or Closed.
  • Share a significant number of keywords.

If these conditions aren’t met:

  • In the Agent Workspace search bar, no Similar tickets header appears.
  • In Related tickets in the context panel, no tickets appear in the Similar resolved tickets list.

Additionally, to increase the relevance of similar tickets, the system considers the following additional factors:

  • Intent matching: Similar ticket candidates with a high-confidence intent match to the base ticket receive a score boost. This prioritizes alignment with the “why” behind the ticket (for example, refund request).
  • Entity matching: Similar ticket candidates with matching entities to the base ticket receive a score boost. This prioritizes alignment with the “what” of the ticket (for example, iPhone 15).
  • Time decay: Recent similar tickets are prioritized over older ones, ensuring recommendations remain timely and relevant.

For example, say a user opens a ticket to upgrade their current subscription to a higher-tier plan (called "Premium"). If there’s a high-confidence "Upgrade subscription" intent and a defined entity for "Premium," agents can quickly access similar tickets that share the same intent and entity. This allows them to understand previous upgrade processes, review terms offered to other users, and ensure a smooth transition for the user.
