Route and triage issues automatically
Understand what's happening across your customer base
Support customers in any language
Stay ahead of issues before they escalate
Whether you're a frontline rep, a team lead, or a support manager — AI Assistants have something for you.
Reply to customers faster with AI-assisted responses
You shouldn't have to start from scratch every time a customer question comes in. AI Assistants can help you draft faster replies, get up to speed instantly, and find the right answer without leaving the issue page.
Message Copilot — Draft a response, adjust the tone, or translate a reply from inside the issue. You get a solid first draft you can refine and send in seconds.
Ask AI: Issue — Ask questions in the issue sidebar and get an answer right there, without tab-switching or searching.
AI Issue Suggestions — Automatically surface related issues and relevant docs to help solve an issue. Less searching on your end.
Issue Summaries — Get an always up-to-date summary of what's happened. No more reading through long threads before responding or handing off.
Cursor Integration — Pull in answers from your product's codebase to handle technical questions, without needing to ping engineering.
In practice: You receive a complex technical question. You open the Cursor integration, ask AI to confirm the product behavior, and draft a clear reply — all without leaving the issue page.
Keep your knowledge base current and complete
Knowledge base is only useful if it's accurate and complete. AI Assistants handle the time-consuming parts of drafting so your team can focus on reviewing content that matters.
AI Article Generation — When your team resolves an issue, that knowledge shouldn't stay buried in an issue. AI Article Generation turns resolved issues into draft knowledge base articles automatically, so your docs grow with your product.
Common Topics & Knowledge Gaps — See exactly what customers are asking most and identify which questions your knowledge base doesn't yet answer. Instead of guessing what to write next, you'll know.
Knowledge Base Copilot — Need to update an article or refine the wording? Knowledge Base Copilot helps you iterate and polish content quickly, so keeping docs current doesn't feel like a chore.
Unlimited Training Data — Connect your knowledge base, any publicly accessible URL, or upload files to make sure AI Assistants are always working with accurate, up-to-date information.
In practice: After closing a tricky issue about an integration, you click into AI Article Generation - a draft article appears in seconds, ready to review and publish in minutes via Knowledge Base Copilot — so your team has the answer ready the next time a customer asks
Route and triage issues intelligently
Manual triage is slow and inconsistent. AI Assistants help your team route issues intelligently and keep data clean.
AI Trigger Conditions — Route issues based on what a customer actually means, not just the words they used. Use AI conditions in the "IF" block of your triggers to route by intent, sentiment, or topic.
AI Autofill — Automatically populate custom field values as issues come in, so your data stays clean and reportable without reps doing it manually.
In practice: A frustrated customer writes in about a billing charge. AI Trigger Conditions routes it to the billing team. AI Autofill tags the issue type and priority — before any rep opens it.
Understand what's happening across your customer base
Individual issues tell you what one customer is experiencing. AI Assistants help you see the full picture — so your team and your cross-functional partners can make smarter decisions.
Ask AI — Ask questions across all your issue and account data in Pylon. "What are the most common complaints this month?" or "Which accounts have had the most escalations?"
AI Reports — Get proactive digests delivered straight to Slack. Top feature requests, customer sentiment summaries, escalated issues — sent on a schedule, so you're never the last to know about a trend.
Product Intelligence (Feature Requests) — Automatically extract and organize customer feedback into feature requests your product team can act on, instead of letting it get lost in ticket threads. @kelly
In practice:
A CSM is prepping for an upcoming customer call and asks Ask AI: "Summarize how Sardine is using the product?" — and gets an instant summary in seconds, no ticket-digging required.
AI Reports can do the heavy lifting overnight, dropping a Slack digest of the week's top escalations so CSMs walk into every customer call knowing exactly where things stand. @kelly
When it's time for the monthly product sync, Product Intelligence surfaces the most-requested features across their book of business, ranked by revenue impact — so the CSM can finally walk into that meeting with a concrete, data-backed case for prioritization, not just anecdotes from their loudest accounts.
Stay ahead of issues before they escalate
By the time your team notices a problem manually, customers are already frustrated. AI Assistants help you detect and address issues in real time — before they become outages or quality crises.
Issue Anomaly Detection — When an unusual spike in ticket volume hits, AI detects it in real time and alerts your team. Whether it's a product bug, an outage, or a confusing new feature — you'll know before it becomes a fire.
AI Issue QA — Maintaining consistency across your support team is hard to do manually. AI Issue QA reviews responses against your own rubrics at scale, giving managers visibility into quality without having to spot-check every issue.
In practice: At 2pm on a Tuesday, ticket volume triples. Issue Anomaly Detection flags the spike immediately, your on-call engineer is notified, and the team identifies a broken checkout flow — 45 minutes before it would have shown up in a dashboard report.
Support customers in any language
Language shouldn't be a barrier to great support — and it shouldn't require you to hire multilingual staff or maintain separate article sets.
Issue Autotranslation — Reps work in their native language while customers receive responses in theirs, automatically.
Knowledge Base Auto-translation — Keep help articles up-to-date in multiple languages without maintaining separate versions. When you update the source, translations stay in sync.
In practice: A customer in France writes in with a billing question — in French. Your English-speaking agent reads it in English, responds in English, and the customer receives the reply in French. Neither side had to do anything differently.
The business impact of AI Assistants
AI Assistants isn't just about efficiency and automation — they directly move the metrics that matter most to support teams and businesses. Customers using AI Assistants have seen:
Faster first response times — less time searching and drafting, more time resolving

How Sardine cut first response time by 90%
