AI-assisted service management

AI does the busywork. Your team helps people.

With AI behind them, operators get the full picture on any ticket fast. Your team’s knowledge at their fingertips. And the words to help anyone, in any language. Built into TOPdesk, ready to use, and in your control.

Meet TOPdesk Robin, your AI teammate

TOPdesk Robin answers employees’ questions directly in the Self-Service Portal, so they no longer have to contact your team for everything. You’ll also find it inside every ticket, ready to give operators a hand.

Ask TOPdesk Robin a question and it digs through your knowledge base for the answer, gets long conversations up to speed and drafts replies, helping operators solve tickets faster without switching tools or tabs.

Pick up any ticket, without guesswork

Tickets reach the right team, correctly categorized and prioritized — so Heather no longer has to scroll through 23 categories first. Picking up a complex ticket? AI summarizes it for you, so you’re up to speed immediately. Less manual work = more time for solving.

AI you can trust from day one

Too many teams get stuck in expensive AI rollouts that overpromise, then underdeliver. That’s why TOPdesk helps you adopt AI with confidence: practical features, expert guidance, and AI that’s always under your control.

Get set up for success

Built into TOPdesk: just turn AI on when you’re ready. Our own experts help you get your data, knowledge and workflows in shape, and point you at the AI features that pay off first.

Your data stays protected by default

Your data stays in your region and never trains external models. No configuration, no extra cost.

Trust AI gets it right

AI works from your own knowledge, so answers fit how your organisation actually works. Review suggestions yourself, or let guardrails do the work. Either way, full transparency into what AI produced, so you trust it on your terms.

Not everyone’s a great writer. And not everyone speaks French. AI Writing Assistant polishes your rough draft in seconds, improves grammar, spelling, and tone, and translates tickets in one click.

Frequently asked questions about AI-assisted service management

Does TOPdesk have AI features?

Yes. TOPdesk AI is built into the platform on select plans, not sold as a separate module or add-on. It handles the repetitive parts of service management, from suggesting a ticket’s category to drafting knowledge items, and TOPdesk Robin, TOPdesk’s AI teammate, answers questions in the portal and works alongside operators in the ticket.

What AI features does TOPdesk offer?

AI Triage, AI Summarization, AI Knowledge Item Generation, AI Answer Assistant, AI Writing Assistant, AI Translation, AI Search, and TOPdesk Robin, TOPdesk’s AI teammate, in the portal and in the ticket.

What is TOPdesk Robin?

TOPdesk Robin is TOPdesk’s AI teammate. It knows your TOPdesk inside out, from your knowledge base to the tickets you’re working on. In the Self-Service Portal it answers employees’ questions and writes up a request when it can’t help. In the ticket your operators can ask it anything, and it goes looking through your knowledge base for the answer. TOPdesk Robin comes with the Excellent plan.

How does AI-assisted service management differ from traditional approaches?

Traditional service management relies on your team to manually categorize every ticket, write every knowledge item, and answer every recurring question. AI-assisted service management handles that repetitive work automatically. Your team still makes the decisions, AI just removes the busywork that gets in the way.

Does TOPdesk's AI replace human operators?

No. AI doesn’t replace your team, it makes every operator more capable. It takes the repetitive work off their plate, categorizing, summarizing, drafting, and gives them more to work with: your team’s best answer on any ticket, clearer writing, help in any language. So whoever picks up the ticket, new hires, experienced operators or non-native speakers, delivers the same great service, and your people stay focused on what needs real human judgment. The role evolves. The people stay essential.

Is TOPdesk's AI safe, and does it use customer data to train models?

Your data stays in your region by default, with no configuration and no extra cost. EU customers’ data stays in the EU, US customers’ data stays in the US, on every plan rather than a premium tier. Your data is never used to train external AI models. You always know where your data goes, how it’s processed and who can access it. The same security and compliance standards that apply to the core platform apply to our AI features, and we’re actively aligning with the EU AI Act.

Can I control what AI does?

Yes. AI features are off by default and you decide which ones to switch on. Your team reviews and approves anything that goes out to a customer, and guardrails built into TOPdesk set the limits everywhere else. Everything AI produces is labelled, so you can always see what it made.

How do customers get access to TOPdesk's AI features?

AI features are built into TOPdesk, so there’s nothing to buy separately. Switch them on in your AI settings when you’re ready.

How do I get the most out of TOPdesk's AI?

AI works from your own knowledge and tickets, so the shape they’re in decides how good the answers are. Our Get Ready for AI service pairs you with one of our own consultants to structure your knowledge base and get it AI-ready. Knowledge Base Explorer keeps it that way: group articles in real folders, hide a whole folder from the portal in one go, and filter out archived items so AI only works from what’s current.

Which TOPdesk plans include AI features?

AI Search, AI Knowledge Item Generation and AI Categorization are part of the Engaged plan. AI Summarization, AI Writing Assistant, AI Translation, AI Answer Assistant, full AI Triage and Robin are part of the Excellent plan. All included in your subscription, and you know what AI costs at each stage of adoption, so you can plan the budget alongside the rollout.
