What Does Your Role Need From Zendesk?

Select your role to see exactly what your AI Zendesk Assistant does for you — the prompts your support team actually uses every day.

Support Agent

Stop Retyping the Same Answers. Draft Verified Replies Instantly.

Support reps lose 40% of their workday typing repetitive explanations and digging through outdated macro menus. Your AI Zendesk Assistant reads the conversation, pulls verified answers from your Help Center, and drafts empathetic responses ready for 1-click submission.

"Draft a response for Ticket #48291 explaining how to configure SAML SSO with Okta."
"Summarize this 14-message email chain on Ticket #44102 into 3 bullet points."
"Which macro should I apply for a customer requesting a refund on an annual plan?"
"Translate this French ticket from customer Pierre and draft a reply in French."
"Draft an internal note for Level 2 engineering explaining this bug reproduction."
"Mark Ticket #47812 as Solved with tag 'refund_issued'."
ZD

Agent Mode
Summarize this 14-message chain on Ticket #44102 into 3 bullet points.
ZD
Ticket #44102 Summary:
• Problem: Customer exported CSV report with missing timestamp columns in Safari.
• Reproduction: L1 confirmed bug exists only on Safari v17.2; works fine in Chrome.
• Next Step: Jira ticket ENG-4102 created; awaiting patch deployment before notifying customer.
Team Lead / Manager

Morning Queue Health, Real-Time SLA Alerts & Agent Workload Balancing.

Support managers spend hours refreshing Zendesk views and monitoring dashboards. Every morning at 8 AM, your AI assistant delivers a comprehensive queue briefing: backlog trends, tickets nearing SLA breach, agent resolution pace, and CSAT alerts.

"Give me a morning queue health briefing across all support groups."
"Which tickets are within 1 hour of breaching their first-response SLA?"
"Why did our average first-response time spike to 3.4 hours yesterday?"
"Show me agent ticket distribution — who has more than 15 open tickets?"
"What were the top 3 drivers of negative CSAT ratings this week?"
"Rebalance unassigned tickets in Tier 1 queue across available online agents."
ZD
AI Zendesk Assistant
Team Lead Mode
Why did our average first-response time spike to 3.4 hours yesterday?
ZD
Root cause analysis — FRT Spike (Sep 1):
• Volume Surge: Inbound ticket volume surged 48% between 14:00–16:00 UTC due to payment gateway degradation.
• Staffing: 2 agents were offline for scheduled training.
• Outcome: 34 tickets waited over 2 hours before initial triage. Normal pace resumed by 18:00 UTC.
QA Specialist

Audit 100% of Solved Tickets. Identify Outdated Help Center Articles.

Manual QA only samples 2% to 5% of solved tickets. Your AI Zendesk Assistant audits 100% of customer interactions for empathy, accuracy, and policy compliance, while flagging frequent questions that need new Help Center articles.

"Audit all tickets solved yesterday with CSAT ratings below 3 stars."
"Which macros have not been updated or used in the last 90 days?"
"Draft a new Help Center article based on the 45 recent questions about billing updates."
"Score agent responses on Ticket #48102 against our QA rubric."
"Find all tickets where an agent gave incorrect cancellation policy information."
"Generate a weekly QA scorecard report for support management."

Audit all tickets solved yesterday with CSAT ratings below 3 stars.
ZD
2 Bad CSAT tickets analyzed:
• #48194 (Customer: DataBridge): Customer unhappy about 3-day turnaround on invoice name change. Agent followed policy correctly, but SLA delay triggered 1-star.
• #48210 (Customer: Apex Media): Agent closed ticket before confirming webhook error was resolved. Recommendation: Reopen and assign to senior engineer.
Support Ops

Bulk Ticket Triage, Spam Cleanup & Routing Rule Governance.

Support Ops engineers drown in custom trigger maintenance, misrouted tickets, and duplicate requests. Your AI assistant audits routing triggers, merges duplicate tickets from the same user, and executes bulk updates with 1-click approval.

"Find duplicate tickets submitted by the same customer in the last 24 hours."
"Bulk-close 40 spam tickets generated by unmonitored automated bouncebacks."
"Show me tickets missing mandatory custom fields (e.g. Product Line or Tier)."
"Audit our Zendesk triggers — which triggers haven't fired in the last 6 months?"
"Reassign all open tickets from deactivated agent Mark S. to the general queue."
"Generate a weekly ticket volume and tag distribution report."
