It reads the tickets your team has already solved and checks them against your articles. Your team approves every change. Whoever answers your tickets, a person or an AI, answers from a help center that is complete and current.
A work email, approved by a person within a day or two. You get a made-up help center with 30 solved tickets to try, and can add your own. See how it works
Your help center, built up and kept right from the tickets your team has already solved. Your team approves every change.
base9 writes the fix before you open it. You read it and approve, edit or skip.
Made-up examples. The numbers and articles are illustrations, not results.
One ticket, start to finish
Here is what that looks like for one ticket whose answer wasn't in the help center.
Your team
An engineer solves something newThe fix is written in a reply on the ticket. The ticket closes, and the answer stays there.
base9 reads it
It keeps what was asked and what fixed itThe ticket itself isn't stored. The summary is compared with your help center: was this answer written down anywhere?
A gap
The same question turns up in other ticketsTickets that asked the same thing are counted together, so you see what's missing in order of how often it's asked.
A draft
The article is written before anyone asks for itFrom what your team wrote on those tickets, with the words each sentence came from. Your knowledge owner approves, edits or dismisses it.

Next time
The answer is where everyone looksOnce the article is in your help center, the next agent finds it, and so does any AI agent that answers from your help center.
Made-up example. Nothing here reaches a customer: base9 reads resolved tickets, and your team approves every change to your knowledge.
Why not the AI built into your helpdesk?
The AI that comes with a helpdesk answers from your help center as it is. It doesn't tell you what's missing from it, or fix what's wrong in it.
base9 works alongside your helpdesk and anything built into it. Better knowledge makes both better.
Who it's for
Business customers, a technical product, a help center with real answers in it, and engineers as the last stop.
Hardware and devices
Many models, versions and setups.The same question has different right answers per product and version, and one firmware or release issue can reach every customer on that version.
Technical B2B software
APIs, integrations, admins.Engineers end up doing support, and the help center grows faster than anyone can keep it consistent.
Outsourced or offshore frontline
What your best agent knows, written down.Fixes stop living in one person's replies, so the answer doesn't depend on who picks up the ticket.
Not a fit: thousands of simple consumer questions a day (a customer-facing chatbot is the better tool), or no help center yet.
How we start
Either way it is read-only and yours to stop, and it ends with numbers you can decide on.

Questions
No. A chatbot answers your customers directly. base9 works behind your team: it keeps your help center complete and current for whoever answers, a person or an AI, and your people approve every change.
Because it answers from your help center. Where an answer is missing, out of date or contradicted by another article, the AI agent is wrong or silent in the same place. base9 finds those places from your resolved tickets and writes the fix.
No. base9 sits alongside your helpdesk and reads from it. You keep your queues, your agents' workflow and anything built in. How base9 differs from built-in AI.
An optional addition, on request. It runs your support logic on every new ticket: your tiers, rules and guardrails decide where a ticket goes, and a reply is drafted from your knowledge for an agent to approve. It is one product, configured for each team and tested on that team's own tickets. It works best once your knowledge is in shape, so nobody has to decide on it at the start. About Triage.
Read-only access to your helpdesk and your knowledge base, about an hour with your support lead, and a few minutes a week to review. Nothing has to be exported or anonymized. If you would rather not grant access, an export of your tickets works too.
Tickets are read from your helpdesk and sent to the AI model over its API to be analyzed. Your data is kept in your own workspace in our database (US East), separate from every other customer's. Which AI provider reads it, on what terms, and how long anything is kept are agreed in writing before we start.
Next step
A work email and your website is all we need. Before we talk, we'll look at your public help center.
