Use Protodesk Assist
Configure Assist and review grounded reply suggestions, writing tools, translations, follow-ups, and ticket context.
Updated
Protodesk Assist provides private writing and context tools inside Threads. It can prepare grounded reply suggestions, improve text, translate content, draft follow-ups, and summarize ticket context. A teammate decides what to use and what to send.
Where Assist appears
- Reply box: generate reply suggestions and follow-up drafts.
- Reply toolbar: improve or polish text you have written.
- Thread and reply toolbar: translate messages and drafts.
- Thread sidebar: review ticket context and relevant knowledge.
Assist does not require you to create an AI Agent first.
Configure reply defaults
Workspace admins can open AI → Assist and choose defaults for:
- tone;
- reply length;
- one best reply or multiple approaches;
- customer or workspace language;
- paragraph or list formatting;
- greeting and sign-off;
- preferred and avoided terminology; and
- an example reply used for style.
Custom instructions and example replies influence style. They do not replace verified facts or trusted Knowledge.
Review a suggestion before sending
- Confirm that it answers the latest customer question.
- Check names, dates, amounts, links, and policy details.
- Review the supporting Knowledge when facts are important.
- Remove unsupported assumptions or private internal context.
- Edit the tone and wording for the conversation.
- Send only when you are satisfied with the final reply.
