Use the virtual service agent in email
In email, the virtual service agent uses Atlassian Intelligence answers (AI answers) to reply to customers. Read more about how the virtual service agent works, or read out more about AI answers.
How it works
Customers send requests to the email address connected to your service project, and a work item is created.
The virtual service agent responds using AI answers. The answer is also added as a comment to that work item for agents to see later.
Customers are given an opportunity to share feedback on whether they find AI answers helpful or not. Feedback is also added to the work item for agents and admins to see.
