Definition

What is agent assist?

Agent assist is the class of AI features that help a human agent during a live conversation without taking over. It drafts replies, suggests answers from the knowledge base, summarizes long threads, and flags policy-relevant moments.

What it offers

Suggested replies grounded in the knowledge base. Real-time summarization of incoming messages so the agent can skim. Auto-tagging by intent and sentiment. One-click translation. Tone adjustment (formal, friendly) before sending. Wrap-up notes that summarize the resolution.

Why it works

Replacing agents wholesale produces brittle automation. Augmenting agents reduces handle time, improves consistency, and lets junior agents perform at senior-agent level on common requests. The customer still talks to a human; the human just has a faster brain behind them.

Implementation

In message.com, agent assist surfaces inline in the chat composer with a one-tap accept. The agent always has the final word. Suggestions that are repeatedly rejected feed back into the model to improve future ones. See the Agent assist feature.
