Why AI matters for customer satisfaction

AI is transforming customer support by enabling faster responses, personalized interactions, and 24/7 availability. With 64% of service professionals reporting improved satisfaction through AI, the potential is clear.

AI helps meet those expectations by:

  • Automating repetitive tasks
  • Reducing resolution times
  • Supporting agents with relevant insights

The result? Higher CSAT scores, stronger loyalty, and a more scalable support operation.

Empowered agents create better experiences

Customer satisfaction is directly linked to how smoothly your team can work. When agents don’t have to copy-paste, search for context, or triage manually, they’re free to focus on meaningful conversations.

AI improves the agent experience by:

  • Reducing switching between tools
  • Prioritizing intelligently
  • Enabling faster, more confident replies

How AI tools improve CSAT

To increase satisfaction, support operations must do more than respond quickly. They need smart workflows that understand context, adapt to changing needs, and allow agents to engage more effectively.

The Challenge

How Knots handles it

Automate repetitive tasks

Repetitive work like categorization, tagging, and field entry slows down your team. Automating these tasks:

  • Saves time

  • Increases consistency

  • Improves speed to resolution

Knots provides an advanced suite of tools to automate repetitive tasks, including

Anticipate user needs

 

Proactive support builds trust. Detect emotional tone and conversation goals to:

  • Proactively prioritize

  • Escalate when needed

  • Offer targeted help

Sentiment analysis

Sentiment Analysis   

Sentiment Analysis uses artificial intelligence to detect emotional nuances, enabling teams to anticipate customer needs and provide targeted, timely intervention before escalation occurs.

Provide around-the-clock support

Customers expect help whenever they need it, but maintaining a 24/7 support team can be costly. Use automation and AI-driven workflows to:

  • Maintain fast replies outside of business hours

  • Improve accessibility

  • Raise first contact resolution

Improving agent efficiency

We do not yet offer standalone chatbots for Zendesk – they are already available through the Chat Conversations API. But with GPT Sidebar and Editor, we help agents generate high-quality responses quickly, so they can efficiently handle queries even during peak hours.

Help agents stay efficient

While speed is important, customers value empathy in their interactions. AI doesn’t replace humans – it enables them to:

  • Focus on empathy

  • Avoid burnout

  • Build relationships that last

Enabling human-AI collaboration

Knots’ GPT Sidebar and GPT Editor augment human expertise, not replace it – because fast answers are important, but empathy drives satisfaction.

Maintaining trust and security

AI systems rely on customer data for personalization, making ethical use of AI and data privacy a top priority. Mishandling sensitive information can damage trust and lead to compliance violations.

Data protection is Key

Privacy isn’t optional. Knots ensures GDPR and HIPAA compliance, with no data stored on our servers.

With Ticket Export and Redact Tickets / Redact Attachments, we also provide applications to help you handle sensitive information.

Integrating AI into existing workflows

Adopting AI tools shouldn’t disrupt existing workflows. Seamless integration is essential to achieve efficiencies without introducing new challenges.

Optimizing Zendesk

New tools should enhance, not disrupt. Knots’ apps are specifically designed to easily integrate with Zendesk, ensuring quick onboarding and compatibility with existing systems.
