Review best practices, common mistakes and the impact each has on SLAs, client data and escalations. [Explore Guidelines](https://www.bolddesk.com/industries/ites/dos-and-donts) - ### Best Practices - ### Common Mistakes - ### Impact ## Frequently Asked Questions ### What is an AI agent for IT services and managed service providers? An AI agent for IT services and managed service providers is software that resolves your clients’ employees’ requests, such as a locked account, a hardware request or an outage report, instead of only logging them. In BoldDesk it works in each client’s identity provider, your asset records and your monitoring tools through API actions or MCP, following that client’s runbook. ### Can BoldDesk’s AI agent reset passwords and handle hardware or software requests for our clients? Yes. Through API actions to the client’s identity provider and your asset or RMM tools, the AI agent can confirm the employee with MFA, unlock the account, check a device against the client’s policy and order a replacement or install approved software. Paid software, admin rights and anything you mark wait for the client’s manager before they run. ### Does BoldDesk work with NinjaOne, ConnectWise or Datto? BoldDesk has no native NinjaOne, ConnectWise or Datto integration. These, clients’ identity providers and asset databases connect to the AI agent as API actions, or as an MCP server that exposes their tools, limited to the clients and actions you allow. Microsoft Teams, Slack, Jira, Azure DevOps, PagerDuty and Zapier are native integrations. ### How does BoldDesk protect and separate each client’s data? Brands and roles keep each client’s tickets, assets and reports visible only to the engineers who serve that client. BoldDesk has a SOC 2 Type 2 report, is GDPR compliant with a data processing agreement, offers HIPAA compliance with a signed BAA, encrypts data with AES-256 and supports SSO and IP restrictions. AI services are turned off in HIPAA mode, so use the AI agent for requests that don’t involve protected health information. ### How do I stop the AI agent from installing software or granting admin access without the client’s approval? Mark paid software, admin rights, new accounts and device replacements as approval-required, and name each client’s approver. The AI agent checks the client’s policy, prepares the action, waits for that approver, then runs it, and each step is saved in its trace log for the client’s review. ### When does the AI agent hand a ticket to an engineer? When it sees a P1 outage it cannot match to an incident, a possible security event such as phishing or a compromised account, a VIP user, a request outside the client’s runbook, low confidence, or when your rules say so, the AI agent passes the ticket to your L1 or L2 engineers with what it checked. Engineers can take over any AI conversation in one click. ### How is BoldDesk priced for an IT service provider with many clients? Plans start at $99 a month, billed yearly, with 500 AI credits and unlimited human agents, so every engineer, service desk lead and account manager works in BoldDesk at no seat cost as you add clients. There are no per-resolution fees, and extra AI credits are $40 per 1,000. ### Which channels and languages can client employees use? Client employees can reach the AI agent in Microsoft Teams, Slack, live chat and email, and through each client’s own portal, and it replies in 40+ languages, translating each exchange for your engineers.
