Ticket outcomes.

Where your work lands.

Your AI handles the data entry and organization so you can focus on the actual support work.

NEW

Instant ticket creation

Tell your AI about a new customer issue. It uses the create_ticket tool to log the details in Zammad immediately.

EDIT

Live ticket updates

Change ticket details or add tags on the fly. Your AI keeps the Zammad record in sync with your chat.

READ

Quick issue summaries

Stop reading through long comment chains. Your AI condenses ticket histories into short, readable briefs.

HUMAN

Manual review needed

The AI manages the data, but you still decide when a ticket is finished or needs a human response.

The workflow

What your AI does when a ticket arrives.

The AI acts as a bridge between your chat window and your Zammad dashboard.

  1. Log the issue

    When a customer reports a problem, your AI writes the details directly into a new Zammad record.

    create_ticket

  2. Organize the queue

    You can categorize incoming requests or mark them for specific teams by applying labels.

    add_tagremove_tag

  3. Get the facts

    If you need to know what happened in a specific thread, the AI pulls the data and condenses it.

    get_ticketsummarize_ticket

  4. Respond to users

    Draft a reply to a customer based on the ticket context and send it as a new article.
