With our AI releases, we're taking the next step in how TOPdesk supports operators and administrators in their daily work. No black-box AI, practical features that help process incidents, create and find knowledge, and reduce repetitive work. 

AI in TOPdesk is designed to support, not replace. It helps your team get to the right answer faster, without losing control over processes, decisions, or data. 

With the new release, that idea comes into its own. TOPdesk Robin joins your team as an AI teammate, MCP connects TOPdesk safely to the AI tools you already use, and the AI Readiness Dashboard gives every customer a straight answer on how ready they are for AI. Searching, sorting and digging through old tickets keeps shrinking, so more of the day goes to the work that actually needs you. 

Please note: this post covers new and updated AI features. Other newly released, non-AI features (like the Knowledge Base Explorer and the operator UI refresh) are mentioned briefly below, with a link to their own product update.

AI as a natural part of your workflow

Our AI features fit seamlessly into the way you already work with TOPdesk. They help with:

  • interpreting and categorizing incidents
  • summarizing information
  • (re)using and creating knowledge
  • writing clear, consistent replies
  • translating incoming messages
  • connecting TOPdesk to the AI tools your team already uses 

All of this happens within the existing TOPdesk environment, no extra tooling or complex new steps required.

When will AI be available in your environment?

Features roll out gradually, it may take a few weeks before a new feature appears in your environment. The most recent features will be available to you in October 2026. Here's how to check:

  • See a new AI feature in AI settings? → It's available and ready to activate at no extra cost.
  • Don't see it yet? → Either the rollout is still in progress, or the feature requires a different plan.

Questions about availability? Contact your account manager, reach TOPdesk Support, or email productupdate@topdesk.com .

The full rollout can take 4–5 weeks.

 

Safety and transparency first: our AI policy

We know AI raises questions, especially when it comes to data, privacy, and control. Our answer is simple:

You stay in control. Always.

Our AI features are developed according to a clear AI policy:

  • your data stays within TOPdesk
  • AI only uses information you explicitly make available
  • data is not used to train AI models
  • you always have insight into what AI does and what it doesn’t

Transparency is essential here. We want you to understand how AI in TOPdesk works, which choices we make, and why. You’ll find the full and most up-to-date explanation in our AI policy:

Update: 30 June 2026

The post has been updated with three new releases:

AI Answer Assistant: now available in the incident card. It automatically suggests a reply based on your knowledge base, helping operators respond faster and more consistently.

AI Writing Assistant — incident management: the Writing Assistant is now also available in the incident card. Draft clear, professional replies without ever leaving the incident.

Knowledge Base Explorer: the knowledge base has been fully redesigned. Real folders, an archive filter, and a cleaner structure make it much easier to build and maintain knowledge — for your team and your AI.

All features roll out gradually. Don't see them in your environment yet? The full rollout can take 4–5 weeks. Questions? Reach out via productupdate@topdesk.com.

Update: AI Translation is live!

If your team handles tickets in more than one language, this one's for you. One click and the full ticket is translated into your own language, without ever leaving TOPdesk. Read all about it in the product update.

Update: 17 September 2026

Product Launch 3 is live! The table above now includes four new AI releases, all available in October 2026: 

AI Readiness Dashboard: a straight answer on how ready your environment is for AI, based on your knowledge base's volume, freshness and use. Available to every customer. 

AI Triage: suggests the category, priority and operator group the moment you open a ticket, so you spend less time sorting and more time solving. Engaged customers get more accurate AI Categorization as part of the same update. 

TOPdesk Robin: your new AI teammate. It answers questions for end users right in the Self-Service Portal, and gives operators a hand summarizing, drafting, and turning fixes into knowledge items. 

MCP: connects TOPdesk safely to the AI tools your team already uses, like CoPilot, Claude or ChatGPT, read-only and scoped to your own data. 

Alongside these, TOPdesk's operator environment also got a fresh new look. Read the full story in our launch post, or dive into each feature's own product update linked in the table above.
