Automation 13/30+: Put an AI agent inside Zendesk

Support answers the same product question forty times, and the real answer is in a repo they can't read.

What it does

  • A ticket arrives → the AI reads it against your codebase and drafts a reply
  • The draft lands as an internal note, so an agent reads it, edits it and sends it
  • It's actually a bug, not a question → it's escalated as a GitHub issue with the detail engineers need
  • Notes are written in plain language for support, not in developer shorthand

What it does not do

It never replies to your customer. Nothing reaches the requester unless a human sends it.

Honest note: beta — built and smoke-tested, not yet run on a live support queue.

Setup

clone → ./setup.sh → pick Zendesk → answer a few questions
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

~5 minutes. No server, no database, free.
