AI Draft Replies help your support team respond faster by allowing human agents to generate suggested responses directly within the Chatbase Help Desk. The draft is generated using the conversation context and your AI agent’s connected data sources. Human agents can then review, edit, and approve the response before sending it to the customer. This allows your team to benefit from the AI agent’s knowledge while maintaining full control over every response.

How AI Draft Replies work

When a human agent is handling a ticket, they can click the AI Draft Reply button in the message composer. Chatbase will generate a suggested response based on:
  • The customer’s conversation history
  • The latest message in the ticket
  • The AI agent’s instructions
  • The AI agent’s connected data sources
The human agent can then:
  • Review the generated response
  • Edit or personalize the content
  • Add any missing information
  • Send the response when ready
Each generated draft uses message credits, just like a reply generated directly by the AI agent.

  3. Wait for the AI agent to generate a suggested response.
  4. Review and edit the draft as needed.
