- Language Detection: Identifies up to 20 languages in case records and updates the Language field and Task Skills table, supporting routing to agents with matching language skills.
- Document Intelligence: Extracts relevant data from PDFs and images (e.g., credit card numbers, vendor names) to auto-populate case fields, reducing resolution time.
- Task Intelligence Admin Console: A business-friendly interface to create, train, and deploy machine learning models for predictions, sentiment, and language detection with configurable options for auto-fill, recommendations, or background monitoring.

Task Intelligence for Customer Service offers several AI capabilities such as language detection, record categorization, Sentiment Analysis, and Document Intelligence. These capabilities automate several routine tasks across the case lifecycle and enable agents to focus on complex case resolution.
| Feature | Description |
|---|---|
| Record categorization | Task Intelligence for Customer Service provides the following types of categorization:
|
| Sentiment Analysis | Detect and display the initial and ongoing sentiment of customer service cases by evaluating the following text:
Sentiment Analysis is currently available in English. |
| Language detection | Identify the language used to create a customer service case and add the language to the Language field for the case record. This feature can identify up to 20 different languages. Add the identified language to the case as a skill, which is stored in the Task Skills table. This table can be configured as a related list on the Case form. Use the identified language to route cases to assignment groups and agents with the necessary language skills. |
| Document Intelligence | Document intelligence reduces the time needed to resolve the case by automating some of the routine case tasks, which enables agents to focus on more complex case resolution. Extract relevant information from PDF and image files, such as credit card numbers, vendor names, or customer addresses, and add that information to fields on the case. |
| Task Intelligence Admin Console | The Admin Console provides a business friendly interface that you can use to create, train, and deploy machine learning models to predict field values for records, extract sentiment, and detect language. The models provide flexible options to either auto-fill values on the records or to provide recommendations only, depending on the sensitivity of those fields. An option is also available to run the model in the background only for monitoring purposes. |
| DocIntel Admin experience | The Document Intelligence application includes the DocIntel Admin experience, which provides an easy-to-use interface that you can use to do the following:
|
| Similar case recommendation | Use the Similar Case Recommendation feature to quickly locate similar cases that offer valuable insights into the current issue. Also, use this feature to suggest cases that might be related to major problems, helping you provide more informed and efficient support. |

AI Prediction Banner Display Behavior
AI prediction banner display in CSM Configurable Workspace: AI prediction banners in CSM Configurable Workspace are controlled by specific client-side and back end configurations that determine when and how prediction results are displayed to agents.
Client-side control: The AI Banner Display Client controls the functionality of prediction banners in CSM Configurable Workspace. This is the current implementation that replaces the deprecated version.
Default display behavior: The displayBanner property is set to false by default in the back end logic. This means that AI prediction banners are not automatically displayed unless explicitly configured to do so.
Default page requirement: AI prediction banners only work on the default page of the workspace. If you have customized workspace pages or are using non-default page layouts, the prediction banners will not display.
Standard UI Form versus workspace display: There is a clear distinction between how prediction results are displayed in the Standard UI form (back end) and how they are displayed in CSM Configurable Workspace. Predictions may be available and processing correctly in the Standard UI form, but the CSM Configurable Workspace display requires proper client-side configuration through the AI Banner Display Client to surface these predictions to agents.
