Virtual Agent platform offers user assistance through an intelligent messaging interface that helps you to deliver conversational support when integrated into your Customer and Consumer Service Portals.

## Integration of Virtual Agent {#va-csp-csm-portal__section_lvw_qht_gdc}

Virtual Agent is a conversational bot platform that uses a messaging interface to provide user assistance. When integrated with your portal, it helps automate customer interactions and streamline tasks on your
Customer and Consumer Service Portals. It builds automated conversations with a base system that helps your users quickly obtain information, make decisions, and perform common work tasks with Virtual Agent.

With Virtual Agent, you can offer continuous support, improve response times, and ease the workload on your customer service team.

## Activation {#va-csp-csm-portal__section_sgs_c3t_gdc}
