Automation 15/30+: Put an AI agent inside Freshdesk

The slowest part of a ticket isn't typing the reply. It's finding out what's true.

What it does

  • A ticket lands → the AI checks it against your codebase and drafts an answer
  • The draft is added as a private note, ready for an agent to send or rewrite
  • Looks like a defect → it's escalated as a GitHub issue instead of bouncing around the queue
  • Written for support staff to read, not for engineers

What it does not do

It never sends the reply, never closes the ticket, never changes its status.

Honest note: beta — built and smoke-tested, real queues will teach it more.

Setup

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

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

Get it

The recipe is open source: github.com/akshaypatel-ai/ai-automations
