It reduces ticket volume by helping customers find answers in the Help Centre or ASAP widget without agent involvement.<\/div>\n<div class=\"gt-section\">\n<h2>How Answer Bot Works<\/h2>\n<p>When a customer types a question in the ASAP widget, chat window, or customer portal, Answer Bot searches the knowledge base for relevant articles and presents them as suggested answers. If the customer confirms their question is resolved, no ticket is submitted.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"gt-section\">\n<h2>Answer Bot Escalation to Agent<\/h2>\n<p>If Answer Bot&#8217;s suggestions do not resolve the customer&#8217;s question, the customer can choose to escalate to a live agent or submit a ticket. Answer Bot records the queries it could not resolve, helping the knowledge management team identify content gaps.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"gt-section\">\n<h2>Configuring Answer Bot<\/h2>\n<p>Answer Bot is configured in Zoho Desk&#8217;s Zia settings. Administrators select which departments and channels it is active for, set confidence thresholds for article suggestions, and define escalation behaviour when the bot cannot resolve a query.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"gt-example-box\"><strong>Example:<\/strong> An HR software company enables Answer Bot on their ASAP widget. 35% of customers who interact with Answer Bot find an answer and do not submit a ticket. The support team reviews the unresolved query logs monthly to identify new articles needed.<\/div>\n<div class=\"gt-related-pills\"><a href=\"https:\/\/aaxonix.com\/resources\/glossary\/asap-embedded-widget-zoho-desk\/\" class=\"gt-related-pill sp-content-link\">ASAP (Embedded Widget)<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/aaxonix.com\/resources\/glossary\/zia-zoho-desk\/\" class=\"gt-related-pill sp-content-link\">Zia (Desk)<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/aaxonix.com\/resources\/glossary\/knowledge-base-article-zoho-desk\/\" class=\"gt-related-pill sp-content-link\">Knowledge Base Article<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/aaxonix.com\/resources\/glossary\/help-centre-zoho-desk\/\" class=\"gt-related-pill sp-content-link\">Help Centre<\/a>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"gt-faq-item\"><strong>What is the Answer Bot in Zoho Desk?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The Answer Bot is an AI chatbot that suggests knowledge base articles to customers before they submit a ticket.
