I'm looking for real experiences from anyone who's actually integrated AI into their customer support system, particularly with platforms like Zendesk or Freshdesk. My team is feeling the pressure to adopt AI solutions aimed at improving customer satisfaction, reducing ticket numbers, and providing instant responses. However, I'm really skeptical about these tools. They seem like they could just end up being costly while providing incorrect answers that could frustrate customers. I'm not looking for sales pitches; I want firsthand accounts. If you've implemented an AI tool, which one did you use?

I recently integrated AI with Zendesk, and I found that having good documentation is crucial. It’s essential to update or create new documentation before setting it up. Even with solid documentation, I noticed a lot of misinformation being produced, leading to annoyed customers. The best tool I came across so far is Inkeep; it has a more involved setup but handles questions quite well and recognizes when it doesn’t have a clear answer, unlike others I’ve tried.
We’re using FreshService for IT tickets, and documentation is just as important for us. It's all about providing quality info; otherwise, the AI isn't going to help anyone. We're currently tweaking it to prepare for external use.
