The problem it solves

When a message comes into your support chat, someone has to decide if it's an urgent incident, a routine request, or just a question, then manually create the right ticket. That triage work slows down response times and pulls your team away from solving actual problems.

Who it fits

IT support and help desk teams running ServiceNow who want incoming chat messages triaged automatically.

How it works

  1. A message arrives through your support chat
  2. AI reads the message and classifies it as an Incident, a Request, or something else
  3. Incidents are created directly in ServiceNow with a clear summary
  4. Requests are submitted automatically to your service catalog
  5. Anything else is answered by an AI assistant that can search the web and remembers past context
What you get

Chats sorted into the right queue automatically

Incoming support chats get classified and logged into ServiceNow as the right kind of ticket automatically.

What you get

A ServiceNow incident, a submitted service request, or a helpful AI reply, depending on what the message needed.

What you need

A ServiceNow account, an OpenAI API key, and optionally a web search API key.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.

That is what a Fractional Chief AI Officer figures out with you, before anyone writes a line of code.
