Tidio’s Response Assistant is designed to help customer service agents deliver quality, well-crafted responses to customers faster. Powered by artificial intelligence, the Response Assistant can generate responses based on the input provided by the agent. Additionally, for tickets, the tool can also be used to create a summary of the communication so far.

Using the Answer Assistant

Tidio’s AI Response Assistant uses advanced machine learning algorithms to analyze the input given by the agent and create a well-crafted response. You’ll see the AI ​​Response Assistant button to the right of your input field when you’re in a conversation (or ticket):

Rewrite input text

To use the reply assistant, simply type the message you want to deliver, and click the crazy stick button on the right.

The AI ​​will now create a response based on your input, which you can review and edit as needed. The response should be well-worded and grammatically correct even if your input wasn’t optimal:

Of course, you can accept the generated response, or start over with new input and press the stick button again.

Summary of card clusters

The Response Assistant offers an additional option when you use the Help Desk tool. When you are inside a ticket cluster in your ticket folders, you will notice that the crazy stick button now offers two options: Response Assistant and Insert Summary .

The Reply Assistant option is the same as before; it rewrites your input into a properly structured message.

The Insert Summary option is unique to the Supporter method, and produces a summary of the current ticket cluster. This can be useful if you want to leave an internal note with a clear description of the entire interaction or its results.

For example, here’s a basic ticket thread where a customer asked a few questions about a potential order:

In this case, clicking the Insert Summary option produced a short summary of the entire thread:

The agent used this to leave an internal note for quick future use, before closing the ticket completely:

Tips for getting the most out of the Answer Assistant

Provide clear and concise input.

The more information you provide to the response assistant, the more relevant and helpful the response will be. Make sure you clearly express the context of the conversation and the customer’s question.

Be specific in your input.

AI has been trained to recognize specific types of questions and respond accordingly. Be specific about the type of question you are asking and the information you want to include in your response.

Use professional concrete

The Response Assistant is designed to create professional and helpful responses. Make sure you use a tone appropriate for the customer service context.

Review and edit the responses created

While the Response Assistant’s artificial intelligence is designed to generate quality responses, it is always a good idea to review and edit the generated response to ensure it is accurate and relevant to the specific situation.

An interesting use of the Answer Assistant: It can be used to create response templates for frequently asked questions, allowing agents to save time and quickly respond to customers with accurate and consistent information.

Practical tip: When using the Answer Assistant, try incorporating common questions you receive from customers. This can help the AI ​​learn and improve its future responses.
