AI-powered customer service tools built into Zendesk for automated support.
What is Zendesk AI?
AI Built Into the World's Leading Support Platform
Zendesk AI brings advanced artificial intelligence capabilities to the Zendesk customer service platform — used by over 100,000 businesses worldwide. Powered by a combination of OpenAI models and Zendesk's own proprietary AI trained on billions of real support interactions, Zendesk AI provides intelligent triage, automated resolutions, agent assistance, and workforce management.
AI That Understands Customer Service
Because Zendesk's AI is trained on customer service-specific data rather than generic text, it understands support intent more accurately than general models. Features include intelligent triage that automatically routes and tags tickets, the AI Agent (formerly Answer Bot) for self-service resolution, agent copilot tools for suggested responses and macro recommendations, and advanced analytics for identifying support trends.
