How to choose an AI help desk

  • AI features that matter. Look for AI-drafted replies, automatic tagging and routing, and answers drawn from your help center.
  • Channels. Confirm it covers the channels your customers use, such as email, chat, social and phone.
  • Reporting. Check response time, resolution and satisfaction reports before you commit.
