Automate Level 1 IT support in Slack and auto-file Jira tickets

Employees ask IT questions in Slack and get instant, accurate answers, with a Jira ticket opened automatically when needed.

How the work actually flows

It branches. Exactly one path is taken; a person is alerted when a step fails.

The problem it solves

Your IT team fields the same handful of questions over and over, which eats up time that could go toward real problems. Meanwhile employees wait for replies to simple questions like password resets or software access. Requests that do need a human often get buried in a busy channel instead of turning into a proper ticket.

Who it fits

IT teams and support organizations that want to automate routine Level 1 support requests.

How it works

  1. An employee posts a question or reacts with an emoji in Slack
  2. The AI searches the internal knowledge base for a relevant answer
  3. If it finds a match, it replies directly in the Slack thread
  4. If a ticket is needed, it creates one in Jira and links it back to the conversation
  5. The employee gets an answer or a ticket confirmation without leaving Slack
What you get

Questions answered without opening a ticket

Employees get instant answers to common IT questions in Slack, with a ticket filed automatically when one is needed.

What you get

An instant Slack answer or a properly filed Jira ticket, plus a searchable record of the conversation.

What you need

A Slack workspace, a Supabase account, a Jira Cloud instance, and an OpenAI 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.
