AI agents
A digital colleague that helps your people, day and night.
It answers questions, handles requests and passes things to your service desk when a person is needed.
What it does
Answers questions in your people's own language
Handles requests, like new software or access
Checks what's already open, so nothing gets asked twice
Hands over to your team with all the details
Why AI agents can get expensive
- You pay for every conversation, and the meter never stops.
- Some platforms charge far more per conversation than others.
- Without limits, nobody sees the cost until the invoice arrives.
How we keep it affordable
- Usage limits per person, managed by your own IT team.
- We choose the most cost-efficient technology for each task.
- A clear overview of what the agent costs, every month.

Every version gives your people the same help. They differ in cost and in who looks after them.

Microsoft's latest technology. The most advanced, and the most expensive to run.
