Magic Agents — active participation

Magic Agents actively participate in the service workflow to handle repetitive tasks, gather information, and resolve standard requests. Triage Agent — your 24/7 conversational AI for the initial wave of customer requests:

• Auto Responder: Instant, customized acknowledgment to the user.
• Automation Triggers: Kicks off external workflows or RPA scripts based on the request.
• Auto Triage: Collects scope, priority, and missing details before a human technician takes over.

• Auto Resolve: Executes resolutions for known, common issues without human intervention.
• Listening Mode: Monitors stalled conversations and gently re-engages the user.
• Intent-Based Catalog: Applies custom handling rules for specific request types.

Reminder Agent — stops tickets from stalling by sending personalized AI follow-ups to non-responsive customers, keeping your board clean.
