3.1.2 AI extension function

The AI extension function enables you to enter simple instructions (prompts) to quickly search incident tickets, case tickets, and knowledge articles. If a failure occurs or you receive an inquiry, you can immediately consult similar tickets or knowledge articles from the past, so you will be able to respond more quickly. This function can also be used to generate knowledge articles automatically based on information in tickets, facilitating the efficient solution of problems.
The AI extension function is available on the chat panel (Co-Operator chat panel).
This section explains the components and operations of the chat panel.

Users of the AI extension function must be billing users who have “ai_extension_user” with Primitive role assigned.

Clicking the chat icon Figure: Chat Figure: Chat on the upper right corner of the Ops I window displays the chat panel in the right pane. You can adjust the panel width by dragging the frame border of the chat panel.
The chat panel allows you to do the following operations:

  • Search for knowledge articles by phenomenon
  • Search for incident/case tickets by phenomenon
  • Search for knowledge articles by phenomenon in incident/case ticket
  • Search for incident/case tickets for a similar phenomenon by phenomenon in incident/case ticket
  • Create a knowledge article from an incident/case ticket*
  • Create a summary of an incident/case ticket
*To create knowledge articles, you must go to the ITSM application from the chat panel. Therefore, users who will create knowledge articles must have "itsm_user", "itsm_manager", or "itsm_admin" with Primitive role assigned.

NotesNotes

  • The chat icon is also displayed in windows other than those for the task application and the knowledge application. These windows support only the operations explained here.
    If no response can be provided, the following message is displayed: "Sorry, this is an unsupported question. Please review and submit again."
  • Only relevant phenomena or tickets can be specified as conditions for searching tickets or knowledge articles. Furthermore, conversations in the chat area are not reflected in the search results.
    For example, this function does not support operations for addressing a request such as "Show five more tickets besides the displayed results."
  • The target tickets are incident tickets (incident) and case tickets (case) only.
  • The chat language is determined by the language specified in the Ops I window by the user.

    NotesNotes

    • Files attached to knowledge articles or tickets are outside the scope of the search. Only character strings will be searched.
    • If you use a phrase such as "about this ticket" to indicate a specific ticket when the Ticket Zoom window is open, the system might not properly recognize whether the ticket is displayed on the Ticket Zoom window and whether the ticket exists in the conversation history.
    • When you click a link to the [Add New FAQ] window to create a knowledge article, an error might occur if you are not logged in to the ITSM application. If an error occurs, you should open another window from the ITSM application, verify that you are logged in, and click the link again to create the knowledge article.
    • If you close the chat panel or move to another page before the answer to your prompt is displayed, the processing will stop and the answer will not be displayed.
    • The system builds a search index after a ticket or knowledge article is created or modified. For this reason, it might take some time until the results from the search from the chat panel change.
      In addition, the processing for applying the registered work notes is performed at one-hour intervals. For this reason, it might take about one hour until the updates are reflected in the search results.
      If the search does not produce the desired results, wait for a while and then perform the search again. If the search results do not change after one day, contact our support team.
