Pricing

Also: Suite Professional: $115/agent/mo (annual) · Copilot add-on: $50/agent/mo (annual) — AI Agents included in Suite/Support plans but billed consumption-based (pay per AI-resolved request). Suite Enterprise + advanced AI is custom-priced.

Tips & Best Practices

1. Target high-volume repetitive requests first: password resets, order status, shipping, FAQs
2. Invest in knowledge base accuracy and structure; AI agents heavily rely on it for answers
3. Use intent, sentiment, and language detection to auto-tag, prioritize, and route tickets to best-suited agents
4. Deploy AI copilot to suggest replies and summarize context; encourage agents to edit and personalize suggestions
5. Combine generative automation with manually designed flows for sensitive or regulated use cases
6. Use Zendesk AI QA to automatically score both AI and human interactions and find improvement areas
7. Launch with limited scope (1-2 use cases, 1-2 channels), measure results, then expand
