Definition of conversational AI

Before we explore how ChatGPT can enhance your helpdesk, let’s start with the basics.

Today, conversational artificial intelligence (AI) is taking the world by storm through intelligent chatbots and virtual agents – enabling users to interact with them as if they were talking to a real person. In 2020, the global chatbot market was valued at $2.6 billion and is expected to reach $9.4 billion by 2024. Talk about exponential growth!

At its foundation, conversational AI is the development of computer programs that use natural language processing and machine learning algorithms to simulate human conversations with machines. It enables users to ask questions, request services and resolve issues within seconds and more naturally than traditional methods.

Think of a conversational AI chatbot as an addition to your support team. They can field tier 0 and 1 inquiries, freeing human agents to focus on more strategic tasks.

OpenAI in Helpdesk tickets

Responding to customer inquiries and issues can be extremely time-consuming for support teams. Sometimes you don’t know exactly what to say – or how to say it – properly. Other times you may need to recap a lengthy conversation thread or summarize a list of next steps. Luckily, these problems can be solved with Capacity.

When responding to a ticket on the Helpdesk, there’s a button listing various OpenAI features. Here’s each one explained in detail:

Suggest a response: Unsure of how to respond to a helpdesk ticket? We’ve all been there. The bot will write a reply based on the information cited on the ticket within seconds.

Make my response longer: When you start writing an answer on the ticket, the bot will help fill in the gaps and make your reply a complete thought from beginning to end.

Improve my response: Sometimes, words are hard – Especially when responding to a complex or sensitive customer issue. After you write a response, the bot will go in and suggest areas of improvement or ways to make your reply sound clear and concise.

Summarize this issue: Support ticket history can extend for days, weeks, and even months. No one has time to read pages and pages of in-depth every single ticket reply, especially if you are coming into the issue halfway through. The bot can go in and instantly summarize the ticket history in a simple paragraph.

List action items: Stuck on what the next steps should be? No worries. The bot can craft a list of action items for each related party based on the helpdesk ticket.

OpenAI in the Knowledge Base

Capacity’s Knowledge Base allows users to find important documents and data easily. Using AI, NLP, and machine learning tech; companies can transform how they handle knowledge management.

Using Capacity, users can add a piece of data to the Knowledge Base by adding an exchange (what we refer to as inquiries and responses). Inquires are inbound questions from users that, when triggered, tell Capacity which responses to return. Responses are what is produced by Capacity when it matches an inquiry. 

With OpenAI, inquiry variants are automatically generated based on other similar ways to ask a question or find a piece of information.
