How it works
- Query intake and capture

Benefit: Ensures quick and seamless query registration.
- Query understanding and classification
The AI Understanding Engine identifies user intent and entities, understands the process or service request, detects the relevant business function, and classifies the request type.
Benefit: Improves response accuracy through intelligent intent recognition.
- Knowledge base search
The agent searches configured repositories for relevant information. Supported knowledge sources include SharePoint, OneDrive, and Dataverse.
Benefit: Provides quick access to the right documentation and process information.
- Response generation and document sharing
The Conversational Response Engine provides a summarized answer, shares related document URLs or links, displays process guidance, and suggests next steps.
Benefit: Enables users to resolve issues quickly through self-service support.
- Notifications, status and audit logging
The agent provides status updates through Teams, Audit Logger, and Outlook while maintaining traceability. It logs request and response details, shares progress updates, captures success or error feedback, and sends responses by email.
Benefit: Improves transparency, monitoring, and compliance tracking.
- Exception handling and helpdesk escalation
The agent handles cases where information is unavailable or response confidence is low. It detects no-result scenarios, identifies low-confidence responses, displays fallback or error messages, and suggests helpdesk ticket creation.
Benefit: Reduces turnaround time and improves user satisfaction through faster issue resolution.
