AI Summary
Halo AI has analysed the request, found relevant solutions, and generated a recommended response.

Native to Your Platform, Not an Add-On

Halo has long been committed to providing a unified platform that simplifies IT service management across the entire organisation. With the introduction of AI, we're extending that commitment by offering advanced, built-in intelligence without additional licensing or modular fees. By making AI a standard part of the platform, Halo ensures that every customer, regardless of size or scale, can benefit from smarter workflows, faster resolutions, and more consistent service delivery.

AI is reshaping how service management works — and unlike most SaaS platforms that place it behind a paywall, Halo is completely committed to all-inclusive pricing. AI will always be included as part of the standard Halo licence, even as Halo continues to innovate and set the standard for intelligent service management.

Knowledge That Builds Itself

Halo AI helps your team convert resolved issues into draft knowledge articles (structured, tagged, and ready for review). It also surfaces the right knowledge at the right moment for both agents and end users, making knowledge-sharing easier and more consistent.

Public Knowledge Discovery

AI analyses the content of incoming tickets and surfaces relevant articles or solutions from the public-facing knowledge base, reducing agent intervention and improving self-service rates.

Internal Knowledge Discovery

Within your organisation, AI recommends relevant internal documentation and past resolutions to support agents, accelerating problem resolution and ensuring consistent responses.

One-Click Article Creation

After issue resolution, Halo AI drafts knowledge articles using RAG, complete with structure, steps, and tags. Fully controlled and reviewed by your team, so your KB grows with every closure.

Emotion AI & Smart Email Detection

Halo AI reads the human side of every interaction: understanding sentiment, measuring satisfaction, and even knowing when a "Thank you" is just a "Thank you."

  • Sentiment Analysis

    Every user message is assessed and summarised into how they are feeling, with a satisfaction score from 1 to 10, giving service teams early warning of dissatisfied users.

  • AI-Powered Surveys

    Halo AI evaluates the agent-user conversation to generate a satisfaction score and summary, replacing traditional surveys with continuous, automatic feedback on every closure.

  • Thank You Detection

    AI detects when an incoming email reply is simply a "Thank you" and prevents it from re-opening a closed or pending closure ticket, eliminating false re-opens and keeping queues clean.
