Zendesk AI agents review

Zendesk includes AI agents in every Support and Suite plan and bills extra AI work by the automated resolution: $1.50 each when you commit to a volume, or $2.00 on pay-as-you-go. Zendesk says its agents work across social, web, mobile, voice and email channels and support 80 languages, switching automatically based on what the customer writes. They can handle multi-step requests, ask clarifying questions and take actions in connected systems, and the Forethought acquisition adds agents that can run outside Zendesk too. The platform's main advantage is breadth: ticketing, messaging, voice, a knowledge base and a marketplace of more than 1,800 apps under one vendor. The main drawback is cost at scale. Each plan includes only a handful of automated resolutions per agent, messaging and voice need Suite plans from $55 per agent, and Copilot for human agents is a further $50 per agent per month.
