AI-Powered Classification

DZDESK uses artificial intelligence to automatically classify and categorize support requests.

Overview

When a new request is created, DZDESK's AI analyzes the content and automatically suggests:

  • Category classification
  • Priority level
  • Relevant tags
  • Potential assignee group

How It Works

Text Analysis

The AI examines:

  • Request title
  • Description text
  • Keywords and phrases
  • Contextual patterns

Classification Process

1. Request submitted
2. AI analyzes content
3. Suggestions generated
4. User reviews/accepts
5. Request created with classification

Category Classification

Automatic Category Suggestions

Based on content, AI suggests categories:

KeywordsSuggested Category
"laptop", "computer", "printer"Hardware
"outlook", "excel", "application"Software
"wifi", "internet", "VPN"Network
"password", "login", "access"Access Request

Confidence Levels

AI provides confidence scores:

ConfidenceAction
High (>90%)Auto-apply (configurable)
Medium (60-90%)Suggest with highlight
Low (<60%)Show as option

User Override

Users can always:

  • Accept the suggestion
  • Choose different category
  • Ignore suggestions

Priority Suggestion

Priority Analysis

AI considers:

  • Urgency keywords ("urgent", "critical", "asap")
  • Impact indicators ("all users", "production")
  • Business context
  • Historical patterns

Example Triggers

ContentSuggested Priority
"System is down"Critical
"All users affected"High
"When you have time"Low
"Cannot complete my work"Medium-High

Tag Suggestions

Automatic Tagging

AI suggests relevant tags:

  • Based on content keywords
  • Historical similar requests
  • Common tag patterns

Example Tags

ContentSuggested Tags
"Outlook crashes"email, outlook, crash
"New employee laptop"new-hire, hardware, setup
"VPN from home"vpn, remote, network

Group Routing

Smart Assignment

AI can suggest assignment to:

  • Appropriate support group
  • Specialists with relevant experience
  • Available team members

Routing Logic

Based on:

  • Category classification
  • Historical assignment patterns
  • Current workload
  • Expertise matching

  • New categories added

Feedback Loop

1. AI makes suggestion
2. User corrects (if needed)
3. System records correction
4. AI improves over time

Manual Training

Administrators can:

  • Add keyword associations
  • Define category rules
  • Review classification accuracy

Accuracy and Improvement

Measuring Accuracy

Track classification performance:

  • Acceptance rate
  • Correction rate
  • Accuracy by category

Continuous Improvement

AI improves through:

  • More training data
  • User feedback
  • Regular model updates

Best Practices

For Users

  1. Write clear titles
  2. Include relevant details
  3. Review AI suggestions
  4. Correct when needed

For Administrators

  1. Monitor accuracy metrics
  2. Review common corrections
  3. Update category definitions
  4. Provide feedback data

Privacy Considerations

Data Usage

AI classification:

  • Processes text within tenant
  • Does not share across tenants
  • Follows data privacy policies

Sensitive Content

  • AI does not expose sensitive data
  • Classifications are generic
  • Personal data not used for training

Limitations

When AI May Struggle

  • Very short descriptions
  • Unusual or new issues
  • Ambiguous requests
  • Multiple issues in one request

Human Oversight

Always recommended:

  • Review suggestions
  • Verify accuracy
  • Apply human judgment
