Prewritten responses or templates are automatically suggested based on customer questions, promoting faster response times and consistent communication.
Fall 2024 Key AI updates
The following artificial intelligence features have recently been added to BoldDesk.
Ticket triage with AI
The AI auto-triage feature learns from past interactions to suggest ticket field values for new tickets.It automatically populates fields like category, priority, or even custom fields based on keywords and past data.
This frees up your agents to focus on resolving customer issues efficiently.
AI automation
We’ve harnessed the power of AI to automate repeated ticket-related actions to improve agent productivity. For example, you can set triggers to automatically route incoming tickets to specific agents based on their specialty or designated workload.
AI assistant for admins
We’ve added AI features to facilitate easy setup and seamless administration. Whether you’re configuring new settings or seeking guidance on optimizing the platform, this smart assistant provides instant answers to your questions.

Smart article auto-replies
Enhance your customer self-service with our new feature that sends AI-recommended articles directly in email notifications. Customers can find answers to questions and experience swift issue resolution—all without reaching out to an agent.
Categorize and review the AI copilot’s unanswered questions
The unanswered questions by AI page lists queries that the BoldDesk AI copilot could not answer. Administrators can sort these questions into categories to get an overview of the performance of the AI tool, identify trends, and guide further action.
Along with the unresolved questions, this page provides data on how many times similar questions have been asked.
This information can help you prioritize which knowledge base articles to improve or add, making it a richer resource not only for the AI copilot but also for support agents and customers.
Boost the AI copilot’s intelligence with custom responses
To reduce the number of unanswered questions, users have the ability to create custom answers as an additional data source for the AI copilot.
Whether it’s expected customer inquiries or topics the AI struggles to explain, you now can equip the AI with relevant, predefined answers, guaranteeing faster, more accurate responses.
This feature allows you to take customer support to the next level by delivering accurate and context-specific assistance every time.
Evaluate the accuracy of the AI-generated responses
To further improve the accuracy of the AI copilot, we’ve introduced a feature that allows agents to provide feedback on the quality and usefulness of the generated responses. Your team can fine-tune the system results for more accurate answers in the future.
Empower your agents with the Ask AI feature
The Ask AI feature allows agents to ask questions on any page within the agent portal and receive precise answers drawn directly from your documentation. This internal support empowers teams to resolve customer issues faster and more confidently, boosting both efficiency and customer satisfaction.
