Solution articles are often used by agents to respond to customer tickets. Not only do they contain a lot of information relevant to common customer cases, but they also help agents understand how to deal with certain issue types.
With Freddy AI, agents are now shown Machine Learning-powered solution article recommendations for responding to customers based on the ticket text and other metadata (ex: ticket field values). This saves them the hassle of manually searching for the right solution article to respond with, making the ticket resolution process faster. It also helps new agents get up to speed with common support responses faster.
Note: Solution article suggestions only work on tickets received via email or web.
Let us understand how agents can use the solution article suggestions in this article.
