Coveo
Application
Case creation and deflection for support sites: machine-learning models narrow the case classification choices and recommend articles while the customer types, so cases arrive complete and many are never submitted.
Conversational search for websites, service portals and workplace search: users ask in natural language and follow up, and Coveo's Search Agent reasons through each question and answers from the customer's approved content, asking or escalating when it is unsure.
Question-answering model that shows a rich snippet from the best matching content directly on a search results page, so customers and support agents get a direct, non-generated answer without opening articles.
Zendesk
Application
An AI assistant that helps Zendesk administrators manage operations and configure their environment.
Contact-centre add-on on the Zendesk Resolution Platform that puts voice, digital and self-service in one agent workspace; its Voice AI agents understand caller intent, apply the company's policies and resolve calls end to end, while Voice Copilot takes notes, summarises and reads sentiment in real time for human agents.
An AI assistant add-on for Zendesk that gives human support agents in-workspace guidance, auto-assist suggestions and intelligent triage, and gives admins proactive workflow recommendations.
AI-assisted knowledge-base building and maintenance: unifies service and third-party content, generates ready-to-use articles, and grounds AI/human agents with a single knowledge foundation.
An AI-powered support QA add-on that auto-scores human and AI agent conversations via AutoQA, flags high-risk interactions with Spotlight, and drives targeted coaching.
Forecasting and scheduling add-on for Zendesk support teams: it analyses a team's historical ticket data to predict how many agents a day, month or season will need, builds schedules down to the minute, and tracks what agents are working on in real time.
