Customer emails come in, AI drafts a reply using your knowledge base, you review and send. 30 seconds instead of 5 minutes. Unlike generic AI, ElkDesk actually knows your product. Add your docs, FAQs, and policies to the knowledge base. The AI drafts replies with your real pricing, your real workflows, your real policies. No more “I’ll get back to you on that.” WHAT HAPPENS WHEN AN EMAIL ARRIVES Every incoming email is instantly analyzed. You get a one-line summary so you don’t have to parse a 500-word email. Priority is auto-detected. Sentiment tells you who’s frustrated before you read a word. Tags are assigned automatically. And a draft reply is waiting, written from your knowledge base, in the customer’s language. Review it. Edit if you want. Send. Done. WORKS IN EVERY LANGUAGE Your customer writes in Spanish. You see it in English. Reply in English. They get it in Spanish. Automatically. TEACH IT ONCE, USE IT FOREVER Your knowledge base gets smarter over time. When you send a great reply, ElkDesk suggests adding the key facts back to your knowledge base. You approve, and future replies improve. Set your tone (professional, friendly, or casual) and add custom guidelines so every response sounds like you wrote it. STAY ON TOP OF THINGS • Filter tickets by status, priority, sentiment, or tags • See every customer’s history and previous conversations • Get push notifications so nothing slips through • Reply from anywhere.
