Set up your virtual agent in Jira Service Management

If your organization uses Slack to provide support, Jira Service Management’s virtual agent can help resolve common problems, answer frequently asked questions, and help to triage requests – saving your agents hours of work.

The virtual agent uses machine learning to recognize questions and requests. It can automate repetitive tasks in your help channels using turn-by-turn conversation flows, artificial intelligence connected to your knowledge base, or a combination of both.

You need to be a project admin to set up the virtual agent.
