Meet TOPdesk Robin, your AI teammate

Related products:Incident ManagementSelf-Service PortalAI

TOPdesk Robin is joining the team. It's an AI teammate that sits right inside the Self-Service Portal and inside the ticket, ready to help end users find answers and give operators an extra pair of hands. 
 

For end users: no more digging through the portal 

When someone doesn't know where to start, they ask TOPdesk Robin instead of searching, or giving up and calling your team. Ask “How do I claim back my travel expenses?” and get the answer, the source article, and the form to act on it, all in one go. Anything still unclear? TOPdesk Robin asks a clarifying question and answers in the same conversation. Your visitor is helped on the spot, and your team is one ticket lighter. 
 


For operators: an extra pair of hands on every ticket 

TOPdesk Robin also sits inside the incident card, already up to speed on the ticket in front of you. Stuck on how to reply? Ask in your own words, and TOPdesk Robin digs through your knowledge base for the answer. At introduction, TOPdesk Robin for operators helps with: 

  • Summarizing long ticket threads 

  • Suggesting an answer 

  • Turning the fix into a knowledge item, so the answer isn't lost next time 


 

Who it's for 

TOPdesk Robin, for both end users and operators, is part of the Excellent plan. 
 

How to get started 

TOPdesk Robin is available from October. There's no extra setup beyond switching it on for your organization.

More information on how to activate Robin for Operators can be found on our documentation portal. Want to learn how to activate Robin for end users, you can find that here. 
 

What do you think? 

Would your team put TOPdesk Robin to work on the questions people ask again and again, or on digging through long ticket threads first? Tell us what you'd want it to take off your plate.

There are no specific timelines for this yet, but we are currently looking into it and will provide an update in due course through the usual channels as soon as we have more details to share.

Hi, Just reviewing Robin in our Test Environment, however, it looks like the Knowledgebase Suggestions has been removed and Robin is not bringing all results back - you have to be fairly specific for it to bring back a response. 

Is this the plan going forward or will the KI Suggestions remain? We use operator scripts as our standard responses and these are stored in the KI Bank, but as they are not detailing a fix, Robin is not providing them to the operator as an option.

Correction: The current state is that the suggestions widget is not accessible while Robin is active. There will, however, be an option to still enable the suggestions widget next to Robin.

​@Caroline Wilmot Robin will replace the suggestions widget as Robin should give you the most probable KI's that can solve the incident.

Jammer dat gekozen is om dit soort uitbreidingen enkel in Excellent beschikbaar te maken. Ook in de andere plans kan dit een waardevolle toevoeging zijn.

Can we rebrand the name Robin in the nearby future? Our Self Service portal has another name. It will be strange if the chatbot has a different name.

In the new SSP, we don't directly mention the name “TOPdesk Robin” in the interactions with end users. 
But we're very interested in hearing what kind of rebrand you'd like to see in regard to Robin within the new SSP. 
Please let us know via TIP.

Begrijp ik het goed dat Robin alleen voor Topdesk intern werkt? Wij krijgen bijvoorbeeld via de mail “uit-dienst”-meldingen, zou Robin daar ook een rol kunnen spelen? Dus in de vorm van automatische meldingen op basis van binnenkomende mail.

TOPdesk Robin will definitely take on even more tasks in the future, and the use cases aren’t limited per se.
So please let us know via TIP which use cases and situations you’d like Robin to handle for you or at least make your work easier.
