AI use case: Level 1 Helpdesk agent
This use case presents the implementation of a Level 1 Helpdesk agent integrated into Microsoft Teams, capable of automatically handling recurring IT requests.
It is intended for internal IT teams and IT managers who want to reduce support workload, speed up resolution times, and improve the user experience.
For internal IT teams and IT service providers
The problem: recurring IT tickets that overwhelm support
60 to 70% of IT tickets concern repetitive questions:
"I forgot my password"
"I can't connect to the VPN"
"Outlook is no longer syncing"
"How do I share a file on Teams?"
"My external monitor is not detected"
These tickets overwhelm support teams, lengthen response times for higher-value incidents, and generate frustration:
users wait, technicians repeat the same explanations.
For a company with 500 users:
Approximately 200 Level 1 tickets per month
Approximately 15 minutes per ticket (diagnosis, resolution, closure)
That's 50 hours per month spent on repetitive support tasks.
The solution: an AI helpdesk agent available 24/7 in Teams
The solution is based on a Teams agent accessible to all employees, available 24/7, capable of:
Answer frequently asked questions using your internal knowledge base
Perform simple actions via secure connectors:

Escalate intelligently to a human when necessary, with the context already collected
Example of interaction with the Helpdesk agent
User
"I can no longer open my emails on my phone."
Agent
"I'll help you. A few questions to diagnose the problem:
- Have you changed your password recently?
- Is the problem with Outlook or another email application?
User
"Yes, I changed my password yesterday."
Agent
"That's probably the cause. Here's the procedure:
- On your iPhone, go to Settings > Mail > Accounts
- Select your business account
- Delete it and then add it again with the new password.
