What is Zendesk AI?
Zendesk AI is the suite of AI features built into Zendesk, the global customer support platform. It auto-classifies support tickets by intent, sentiment, and language, automates routing to appropriate agents, and uses AI agents (bots) to auto-answer customer questions — dramatically reducing human agent workload. Trained on 18 billion+ customer service interactions, Zendesk AI offers exceptional accuracy as a support-specialized AI. Agent Copilot presents real-time response suggestions to human agents, reducing response times. It also offers auto-suggested macros (predefined actions) and ticket summarization.
