What is Zendesk AI?
Zendesk AI adds autonomous AI agents, an agent copilot, intelligent triage, and quality tooling to the Zendesk ticketing and messaging suite.
The offering spans customer-facing AI agents that resolve conversations from knowledge content, a copilot that drafts replies and suggests next steps for human agents, triage that classifies intent and sentiment, and quality assurance features. It is designed for organisations already running support in Zendesk and scales across email, chat, messaging, and voice.
AI layered across the whole support operation, from customer-facing resolution to agent assistance and QA, inside one of the most widely deployed help desks.
