What are Zendesk AI Agents?
Zendesk AI agents integrate with your customer service platform to automate complex support workflows while maintaining the quality and empathy customers expect. These digital teammates handle ticket triage, knowledge base optimization, and multilingual support—enabling your team to focus on high-value interactions that require human expertise.
Instead of manually sorting through tickets and responding to repetitive inquiries, AI agents work continuously to route issues intelligently, generate contextual responses, and proactively identify customers who need assistance before they even reach out.
