Atlassian Intelligence answers in the virtual agent

The virtual agent for Jira Service Management is in beta, and some features may not be available for all customers.

If you’re on a Premium or Enterprise plan, learn how to set up the virtual agent.

In the virtual agent, Atlassian Intelligence answers uses generative artificial intelligence to search across your linked knowledge base spaces and answer your customer questions in Slack — without needing to create an intent. Learn more about intents, or about using Atlassian Intelligence.

Atlassian Intelligence answers is ideal for customer questions that:

  • can be resolved by providing information or instructions

  • are covered in (or can be added to) your existing knowledge base articles

  • don’t usually need to be escalated to a human agent

To use Atlassian Intelligence answers in your customer-facing request channels, you need to activate it for the virtual agent, and then for each request channel you want it to work in. Learn more about your virtual agent channels.

How it works

When a customer sends a message, the virtual agent will first try to match it to an intent. If no intents match, it’ll try to answer the question using Atlassian Intelligence answers. Learn more about the match intent standard flow.
