The ChatGPT for Zoho Desk extension is only accessible to Paid edition Desk users and is limited to US and India data centers to comply with GDPR regulations. 

The ChatGPT for Zoho Desk extension enables agents to provide fast and efficient support to customers through a conversational interface. The extension is designed to understand customer inquiries and provide personalized support within Zoho Desk. By leveraging advanced natural language processing and machine learning algorithms, ChatGPT can accurately interpret and understand customer questions, and provide relevant, timely responses.

Consider a customer who reaches out to a business with a complex issue. The customer writes a lengthy and detailed support request, outlining their issue and concerns. With this extension, ChatGPT's generative AI reads the customer's support request and analyzes the tone and sentiment to predict the customer's mood.

Based on the customer's mood and the key information provided in the message, ChatGPT generates a relevant response that addresses the customer's concerns and provides a potential solution to their issue. The generative AI can also summarize the key points of the customer's message, making it easier for live agents to understand the customer's needs and provide more personalized support. This not only saves time for support agents, but provides customers with a fast and efficient customer service experience.

Key benefits of using the ChatGPT for Zoho Desk extension

1. Improved response times: With ChatGPT's generative AI handling common inquiries, response times are improved along with overall customer satisfaction.
2. Personalized customer support: With its natural language processing capabilities, generative AI can understand and interpret customer questions, providing personalized responses based on the customer's mood and the requests outlined by their ticket.
3. Increased agent productivity: By automating routine tasks, the extension enables support agents to focus on more complex issues, boosting productivity and helping them provide better service to customers.
4. Increased availability: The ChatGPT for Zoho Desk extension can provide support to customers at any time, reducing the workload on support agents and providing greater convenience to customers.

Working with the ChatGPT for Zoho Desk extension 

Anlyzing the tone and emotion of tickets   

Ticket Prediction summarizes customer inquiries and detects the underlying emotion. This helps agents address issues more efficiently. Additionally, it gives agents insights into the customer's emotional state, so they can empathize and deliver a personalized response.

Customer Mood Summary detects the sentiment or emotion behind a customer's inquiry. It works by analyzing the customer's message for specific language patterns, such as positive or negative words, and considering the overall context of the message. The extension then assigns the customer a mood label, such as happy, angry, sad, or frustrated.

Suggesting optimal replies 

Reply Assistance suggests the ideal response to customer inquiries. This saves agents time, ensures consistency, and improves response quality. 

Reply Assistance will function only if Zia is enabled and there are at least 30 articles in the Knowledge Base. 

Generating responses from open domain data 

Enabling Open Domain Data allows ChatGPT to generate a response based on public data when a reply cannot be generated using KB articles.

Points to remember

1. OpenAI only utilizes the customer's support request to predict and generate a ticket response.
2. To generate a ticket response, at least 30 published articles in the knowledge base are required. If the knowledge base contains fewer than 30 articles, and the Allow Open Domain Data option is enabled, ChatGPT can utilize public domain information to find a suitable response.
3. For authentication you have to enter the API key from your paid OpenAI account. If you don't have an OpenAI API Key, you can generate the same from Creating OpenAI API key. 
4. If agents are not satisfied with the ticket prediction and response generated by the extension, they can choose to regenerate. There is no limit to the number of times a response can be regenerated.
5. The availability of the Ticket Prediction and Reply Assistance options in the Ticket Detail view will depend on the features that were selected during the extension's configuration.
6. When Reply Assistance is enabled, but the Allow Open Domain Data option is disabled, the extension will attempt to find answers based on your KB articles. If the criteria for the minimum number of articles is not met, no results will be shown.
7. When the Response Generation Preference is set to Auto-Generated, a ticket summary, mood analysis, and response will be automatically generated. If auto-generation is not enabled, these must be manually predicted by clicking the Predict button for each ticket.
