    Key Features

    • Contextual AI Search: Agents enter natural language queries, and AI understands the context to deliver the most relevant search results.
    • Search and Genius Result Cards: Results are displayed as preview cards allowing agents to view details or take immediate actions. The most relevant answers appear as “genius result” cards at the top.
    • Highlighted Search Terms: Query terms are highlighted within the results to help agents quickly identify relevance.
    • Machine Learning Relevancy Tuning: The system automatically improves result accuracy based on agent selections and interactions.
    • Search Filters and Result Counts: Agents can filter results by search source and see counts of matching records, aiding efficient navigation of search results.

    Benefits

    • Maximizes Efficiency: Reduces resolution time by providing quick access to actionable, relevant knowledge.
    • Leverages Contextual Intelligence: Ensures search results align with the specific case context and agent needs.
    • Summarization Capabilities: Genius results can include summarizations powered by large language models tailored to your knowledge base.

    Configuration and Use

    To enable AI search in Recommended Actions, administrators must activate the AI search tab, map search results with guidance inputs, and customize the component settings. Advanced options include setting the number of results per page, defining genius results criteria, and configuring search sources.

    Agents access AI search via the side panel in the workspace, enter queries, and interact with results through cards that enable viewing or direct action. They can filter results by source and monitor result counts to efficiently manage search output.

    Note that search result visibility depends on security permissions and previously executed guidance actions, which are recorded in the activity stream and action history but excluded from visible search results.

    Enable agents to use AI search in Recommended Actions to find relevant resources or resolutions for customer issues.

    AI search results and genius results are displayed in the Search tab of the Recommended Actions component in the contextual side panel. Agents can initiate actions from the search cards directly to resolve an issue.

    • Accessing AI search: Agents can access the AI search tab in the contextual side panel of the workspace.
    • Finding context-aware results: Agents can enter their search queries in the search bar. AI search uses natural language processing to understand user queries and considers task context to produce relevant results.
    • Showing AI search results: Review AI search results and take actions directly from the search cards.
    • Showing genius results: Agents can view the most relevant results at the top based on criteria defined in the genius results configuration, drawing their attention to the most relevant information first.
    • Narrowing search results: Agents can select a search source from the Search filter field to display results only from that search source and then return to viewing all matching records.
    • Viewing results count: The search tab shows counts of the total number of matching search results. The search filters show the number of matching results for each search source.
      Note:
      Search results displayed and the total search count may vary due to security permissions or if the search result has already been executed. The executed guidances are added to the Activity stream and moved to the Actions history. Executed guidances will be included in the total search count but will not show up in the search results.
