Integrate Inkeep Agent Copilot, or Keep, with Zendesk.

Overview

Keep's Smart Assist mode analyzes the ticket you're currently looking at to generate intelligent suggestions to move the ticket forward.

Suggestions can include:

  1. Draft Answers: Editable responses that are likely to resolve the ticket.

  2. Quick Links: Relevant sources for the ticket, such as docs, previous support tickets, and Slack threads.

  3. Summaries & To-Do's: Summaries of long conversations and actionable remaining to-dos.

  4. Other: Quick replies, sentiment analysis, and other helpful insights.

Keep is fully conversational - you can ask for clarifications or even request modifications to suggested answers.

Note
Note

Generated FAQs should already be sanitized of sensitive information and could be used as customer-facing FAQs. However, you can choose to use the FAQ source from only your private project. By default the FAQs are used only by the project that the Support Copilot was created in.

Add Private Sources

The Support Copilot can leverage your private content, like Slack conversations in internal channels and historical support tickets, in addition to your public docs and help center content.

Contact us to set up a separate project with those sources.
