AI reply assistant

A first draft that already knows your answers

The assistant reads the thread, your knowledge base, your canned responses and how similar tickets were resolved, then writes a reply in your tone. The agent edits and sends. Nothing leaves the desk without a human pressing send.

  • Grounded in your docs, canned responses and resolved history
  • Cites the sources it used so the agent can check them in a click
  • Summarise a long thread before you reply, or before you escalate
  • Human approval required - no autonomous sending

I have been billed twice this month, can you check?

Inside the workspace

What your team actually sees

The assistant sits inside the composer: draft, adjust tone, insert a canned response with variables filled from the ticket, then send.

Our March invoice shows 14 seats but we only have 11 active agents. Can you check before we pay?

Internal note - not visible to the customer

Billing exported the seat log: 3 seats deactivated on 12 March, pro-rata credit due.

AI draft - grounded in docs + 42 past resolutions

Hi Priya, you are right - three seats were deactivated on 12 March. I have raised a pro-rata credit of £186 against invoice INV-2291 and it will appear on your next statement...

Capabilities

Built for this job, not bolted on

Draft in one click

A complete reply, not a sentence starter, built from the specific facts on this ticket.

Knowledge grounded

Answers come from your internal docs and past resolutions, so the assistant cannot invent a policy.

Canned responses

A managed library with variables for customer, ticket and agent, filled in automatically as you insert.

Thread summaries

Turn a forty-message escalation into five lines before handing it to an engineer.

Tone and length

Shift a draft warmer, shorter or more formal without rewriting it from scratch.

Reviewable

Every AI-assisted reply is marked in the audit trail with who approved and edited it.

How it runs

From arrival to answer

  1. 1

    Read

    The assistant parses the customer thread and the account context beside it.

  2. 2

    Retrieve

    It pulls matching docs, canned responses and similar resolved tickets.

  3. 3

    Draft

    A reply appears in the composer with its sources listed underneath.

  4. 4

    Approve

    The agent edits, sends, and the outcome feeds back into future suggestions.

End to end

Everything this part of the platform covers

Each block below is a working part of the product, not a roadmap item.

Grounded drafting

Drafts are written from your own material, so the answer matches how your team actually replies.

  • Context from the live thread, the customer record and their history
  • Retrieval across your docs and previously resolved tickets
  • Citations to the source used, so an agent can check before sending
  • Tone follows your saved replies rather than a generic assistant voice

Human approval

Nothing is sent automatically. The assistant produces a draft; a person decides.

  • Approve and send, edit, or discard in one click
  • Edits are the reply - no separate copy-paste step
  • Insert a doc or canned response into the draft mid-edit
  • Every generated draft recorded in the ticket audit trail

Triage assistance

The assistant helps before the reply too, by summarising and classifying inbound work.

  • Thread summaries for long or escalated tickets
  • Suggested tags and priority based on content
  • Duplicate detection that points at the merge candidate
  • Suggested next action when a ticket has gone quiet

Control and cost

AI is a feature of the workspace, not a separate product with its own rules.

  • Turn assistance on or off per workspace
  • Admin-only configuration, enforced server side
  • No customer data used to train third-party models
  • Usage visible so the value is measurable against volume

Who it is for

What each person gets out of it

Agents

A solid first draft in seconds, with the sources to sanity-check it.

New starters

Ramp on how your team answers by editing rather than starting blank.

Team leads

Consistent tone and accuracy without policing every reply.

Customers

Faster answers that still read like a person wrote them.

Features inside this area

Go a level deeper

Detail

The small print that matters

Data handling

Drafting happens per request against your workspace content; ticket content is not used to train shared models.

Coverage gaps

When the assistant cannot find grounding it says so and suggests a doc to write, instead of guessing.

Per-workspace tone

Set the house voice once - greeting, sign-off, formality - and every draft follows it.

Measurable

Reports show how many replies started as drafts and how heavily they were edited.
