New SysAid Copilot counters ineffective chatbot deployments with next-gen, generative AI-powered IT Service Management  

SysAid announces General Availability (GA) of SysAid Copilot, a comprehensive, innovative set of generative AI capabilities, providing employees with a consumer-grade, self-service experience and accelerating organizational productivity.

[Toronto, Canada] [January 11, 2024] – SysAid, a leading provider of IT and Enterprise Service Management solutions, proudly announces the commencement of an exciting new chapter with the commercial release of SysAid Copilot, designed to liberate organizations by putting AI to work, for them and their people.

At the core of SysAid Copilot is the AI Chatbot for End Users delivering always-on, 24/7 service. This conversational self-service experience uses generative AI to help employees work through issues by delivering answers, utilizing the organization’s data, from knowledge base articles through ticket resolution history – as well as verified external data sources, links, and documents.

Combatting ineffective virtual agent deployment

According to Gartner®, “Staffing an IT service desk is difficult and a considerable expense. Long phone queues and abandoned calls are not uncommon. Yet, many I&O leaders have experienced issues with the implementation and adoption of virtual support agents, which are aimed at alleviating some of these challenges.” One of the main factors attributed to these issues is that initial deployments of chatbots were ineffective.

With no code zero setup required, SysAid Copilot comes with a feature set designed to counter the potential pitfalls arising from sub-optimal deployment of traditional virtual support agents.

The AI Usage Dashboard clearly reflects the value provided to both agents and end users through usage of SysAid Copilot features. For example, adoption of the AI Chatbot for End Users and Assistive AI features for agents. It also offers insights into AI-contained issues, indicating the rate at which problems were automatically resolved by SysAid Copilot using the organization’s data and averting the need for ticket creation.

In parallel, agents maintain ultimate control over the quality of responses with the ability to monitor, edit, and fine-tune answers provided by the AI Chatbot enabled by a Monitor and Fine-Tune feature.

AI Author enables the provision of consistently professional service by rephrasing replies, elaborating on answers, and breaking down information into simple steps with responses that are comprehensible and accessible for employees. This also exempts agents from the need to grapple with wording and grammar.

Embedded into the channels that employees already use, SysAid Copilot facilitates quick adoption within the organization. For example, employees get service in a single click from the AI Chatbot (one-click ticket creation) or automatically via the AI Emailbot, delivering an immediate response even before an agent sees the ticket.

Increasing productivity

SysAid Copilot leverages cutting-edge generative AI technology, elevating agents to play a strategic role in the organization and improving IT productivity by over 20%.

“The release of SysAid Copilot is a momentous milestone in our quest to lead organizations on a transformative journey toward AI-driven organizational processes and excellence,” said Avi Kedmi, SysAid CEO. “Tapping into specialized data accumulated from thousands of customers and millions of users, SysAid Copilot enables employees to enjoy a fully conversational experience, freeing up agents to focus on more strategic work and become the catalyst for organizational productivity. SysAid Copilot orchestrates service management across the organization, embodying our commitment to infusing intelligence and ease into the workday, reshaping the landscape of service management. And this is only the beginning, as our dynamic roadmap promises a steady stream of groundbreaking features and capabilities ahead, ensuring the success of our customers.”

The General Availability of SysAid Copilot follows a 5-month design partner and beta program in which a diverse and engaged group of active customers played a pivotal role in refining and enhancing the product. The dedication and enthusiasm of the beta partners have been instrumental in shaping the product and ensuring that it is finely tuned to address the unique needs of SysAid’s customer community, not only meeting but exceeding their expectations.

Enhancing CSAT scores and slashing MTTR

SysAid Copilot includes AI Intelligent Categorization automatically categorizing tickets submitted via the AI Chatbot for End Users and routes to the right people while making suggestions for more appropriate categories for tickets that come in through other channels, reducing human error in ticket categorizations by ~40%. In parallel, AI Case Summarization provides agents with a real-time summarization of the ticket content and employee sentiment (AI Emotion) so agents can understand the context, history, and end-user sentiment at a glance.

“SysAid Copilot has helped our organization a great deal in providing support quicker. Since our department is oftentimes understaffed, wait times are higher than normal, and with SysAid Copilot we’ve witnessed those wait times plummeting,” said Nathan Gleed, IT at the City of St George. “One of the most amazing aspects of this new technology is its continual learning, consistently improving performance and generating more accurate and sophisticated output.”

Pricing and Availability

With the release of SysAid Copilot, SysAid has rolled out its generative AI pricing packages, allowing customers to get started quickly and easily.

Launch event

On January 25th, 2024, SysAid Copilot will be demonstrated at a dedicated customer-exclusive virtual event in which the audience will witness the generative AI capabilities in action, be exposed to upcoming features on the roadmap, and have a chance to engage in deep Q&A with SysAid experts.
