[Explore Guidelines](https://www.bolddesk.com/industries/entertainment/dos-and-donts) - ### Best Practices - ### Common Mistakes - ### Impact ## Frequently Asked Questions ### What is an AI agent for entertainment and fan support? An AI agent for entertainment and fan support is software that resolves fan requests, such as a missing ticket, a stream that will not load or a refund for a postponed show, instead of only answering questions about them. In BoldDesk it works on chat, email, WhatsApp and social channels, reads the order in your systems through API actions or MCP and takes the action there, with your rules deciding what runs on its own. ### Which fan requests can the AI agent resolve on its own? The AI agent resolves lost-ticket and QR code resends, seat or date swaps, venue and lineup questions, stream playback and login help, and refunds within the limits you set. Each action runs in your ticketing, streaming or payment system through an API action or MCP server, and anything outside your rules goes to a person. ### Does BoldDesk integrate with our ticketing and streaming platform? BoldDesk has no native ticketing or streaming integrations. Your ticketing, streaming, venue or membership platform connects to the AI agent as API actions, or as an MCP server that exposes its tools, limited to the orders and actions you allow. Stripe, Salesforce, HubSpot, Slack and Microsoft Teams are native integrations. ### Can BoldDesk handle a surge when tickets go on sale or a stream drops? Yes. The AI agent answers every channel at once, so a surge does not queue fans behind your team. The Background Agent tags outages and VIP requests as urgent on arrival, and SLA and surge rules route them to the on-call crew while a status update goes to every affected fan. ### How do I stop the AI agent from issuing a ticket refund on its own? Mark the refund action as approval-required, or set a rule such as refunds over $100 needing the Box Office Manager. The AI agent prepares the action, waits for the named approver, then runs it, and every step is saved in its trace. ### How does BoldDesk protect fan and payment data? BoldDesk holds a SOC 2 Type 2 report, complies with GDPR and supports HIPAA with a signed BAA. Data is encrypted with AES-256, access is role-based with SSO, personal data can be masked in tickets and reports, and your data is not used to train models. ### When does the AI agent hand a fan to a person? When a fan asks for a person, is upset, is a VIP you route to a named team, or the case needs a decision outside your rules, the AI agent passes the conversation to an agent with the history and the steps it took, so nobody repeats the story. ### How is BoldDesk priced for an entertainment company? Plans start at $99 a month, billed yearly, with 500 AI credits and unlimited human agents, so every venue, event crew and shift can add agents without seat fees. There are no per-resolution fees, and extra AI credits are $40 per 1,000.
