What Flint AI Assistant Does
Flint AI Assistant is a native Zendesk Support app that gives your agents an AI-powered copilot directly inside the ticket sidebar. It reads your help center articles, uploaded PDFs, and connected knowledge sources, then drafts accurate, context-aware replies grounded in your actual documentation — not generic web results.
Chat with your knowledge base in real timeOpen any ticket and ask Flint a question. It retrieves the most relevant articles from your indexed help center using semantic search (RAG) and synthesizes a clear, citable answer in seconds. Responses stream in real time so agents never wait for a loading spinner.
Connect multiple knowledge sourcesIndex one or more Zendesk Help Centers, upload internal PDFs, connect Intercom help centers. Flint searches across all of them in a single query.
Automate first responses with webhooksSet up a Zendesk trigger and webhook so Flint analyzes and drafts a response the moment a ticket arrives — before any agent opens it. Customers get fast acknowledgment; agents get a pre-drafted answer to review.
Choose your AI modelSelect frontier models from OpenAI, Gemini. Adjust temperature and token limits per conversation to match your quality and cost targets.
Manage prompts with version historyEdit the system prompt that shapes Flint's personality and accuracy. Every change is versioned so you can compare diffs, roll back, or activate a previous version instantly.
Track usage per agentAn admin-only analytics dashboard shows daily token consumption broken down by agent, with date-range filters and visual charts. Monitor adoption and costs in one place.
Built-in billing and subscription managementSubscribe, upgrade, or manage your plan without leaving Zendesk. Usage meters and plan badges display right in the header so you always know where you stand.
