The AI Agent helps you handle customer conversations by replying, using your knowledge, and taking actions inside tickets.
This article gives a clear overview of its capabilities and limitations.
What the AI Agent can do
Respond to customers
The AI Agent can read incoming messages and generate replies based on your setup. It understands customer intent and adapts its tone to match your brand.
Use your knowledge
The AI Agent answers questions using the information you provide, including:
- Help Center articles
- Snippets
- Notion (if connected)
Understand images and PDF files
The AI Agent can analyse images and PDF files sent by customers. It reads the text, tables and images in a PDF, so it can use details from documents like invoices, booking confirmations or order forms in its reply. For example, it can recognise a damaged product in a photo or find an order number in a PDF receipt.
You can also attach a PDF when you test your AI Agent in the preview.
Take actions in tickets
The AI Agent can perform actions directly in Trengo:
- Add internal comments
- Assign conversations to a team or user
- Apply labels
Follow Skills
The AI Agent can execute predefined skills, such as:
- Order status questions
- Returns and refunds
- Information collection
It gathers the required information and determines the next step based on your setup.
What the AI Agent cannot do
Access systems that are not connected
The AI Agent can only use data and tools that are available in your workspace. If a system (like Shopify or Notion) is not connected, it cannot access that information.
Perform actions outside integrations
The AI Agent cannot take actions in external systems unless an integration is configured.
Read video messages
The AI Agent can't read video messages.
Handle every situation independently
Some conversations require human involvement, especially when:
- The request is complex
- The situation is sensitive
- Additional context is needed
Guarantee perfect answers
The AI Agent depends on the quality of your setup. If knowledge is missing or unclear, responses may be incomplete or incorrect.
Handle undefined processes
The AI Agent performs best when skills are clearly defined. If a process is not set up, it may not handle the situation correctly.
Summary
The AI Agent is designed to handle a large part of your customer conversations and support workflows.
Its performance depends on the knowledge, instructions, and integrations you provide.
