About Zendesk AI

Zendesk AI bundles AI agents, Copilot for human reps, Quality Assurance, and Workforce Management into one of the world’s most-deployed helpdesks. Essential AI agents (included on every Suite plan) generate answers from your knowledge base; Advanced AI ($50/agent/mo add-on) unlocks the AI agent builder for custom flows that take real actions — refunds, order lookups, CRM updates. Per-resolution pricing runs $1.50 (committed) to $2.00 (pay-as-you-go). Suite plans run $19/agent/mo (Support Team) to $169/agent/mo (Enterprise).
