The Linked Services section lets you enhance the capabilities of Agent AI by integrating it with external services. It includes two subsections-Search AI and Agentic Configurations. While linking with Search AI enhances Agent AI’s search capability across web and mobile platforms, Agentic configuration allows you to configure, manage, and connect the Agentic Copilot apps to enable autonomous, end-to-end management of conversations.

Search AI

Search AI provides an intelligent, contextual, and personalized experience in every interaction across web and mobile channels. To enhance the search capabilities of Agent AI and allow restricted access for targeted users, you can configure up to three Search AI apps with the following scopes:

• Internal Information: This feature can be leveraged to send internal notes to agents. Agents can’t share the search results with customers as it doesn’t include the Send / Copy buttons. The following screenshot shows internal information related to the search words “national pension.”
  
  
• External Information: This feature helps fetching external information through the Search AI apps, and this information has Send / Copy buttons for sharing with customers.
  
  
• Auto-Suggestions: Access to auto-suggestions (prompts) only. The following screenshot shows auto-suggestions related to the search word “pizza.”
  
  

How Does It Work?

1. Set up Search AI Apps: Add all the segregated information sources (internal information, external information, and auto-suggestions) the targeted agents might need in their searches, like web pages, data, documents, and content from apps like ServiceNow and Confluence. Learn more.
2. Link Search AI with Agent AI: Administrators can link up to three Search AI applications with Agent AI, as explained in this document. Once linked, Search AI content is automatically available for Agent AI as a service in runtime. Learn more.
3. View Search AI data in Agent AI: In the Agent AI widget, agents can view relevant snippets and articles from the Search AI application, and Dialog Tasks and FAQs from the XO Platform or the Use Cases of the Agent AI application. Learn more.

11. Click Test Connection & Save to verify the configuration. The Connection Established Successfully message displays, if the connection is successful.
12. Add more Search AI apps, as required by following the above steps.

Configuration Rules

• Choose either Internal Information or External Information with Auto-Suggestions.
• Internal Information and External Information can’t be combined in one app.
• Auto-Suggestions can be configured for only one Search AI app.
• Knowledge AI settings are available only when selecting either Internal Information or External Information.

Knowledge AI

This section lets you gain access to the Knowledge AI features within the Agent AI widget during customer interactions. Here, you can set channel-specific display of Knowledge AI search results. It has the following sub sections:

• Search Results: Gives you the control over Knowledge AI search results. Agents can select between Always Show, Show with XO Results, and Show as a Fallback event.
  • Always Show: Shows all results of Knowledge AI regardless of bot intents. This is the default selection.
  • Show with XO Results: Shows results of Knowledge AI only when relevant bot events such as Dialog Tasks or FAQs are detected.
  • Show as a Fallback event: Shows results of Knowledge AI as a fallback when no bot events are detected.
• API Integration: You can optimize your search experience with the advanced Knowledge AI API configuration. Choose Basic to use the default Knowledge AI configurations or Advanced to configure how you want to use the Knowledge AI. The Advanced option lets you use your own API. The default selection is Basic.
• Control expand behavior of Answers: You can now customize the number of answers that appear for your Knowledge AI search in the Agent AI widget. For example, if you select “3” on this field, only three answers will appear in the widget. The default number is “4” and the minimum number to be selected is “2”.

How Does It Help Agents?

When Agent AI is integrated with Search AI, data from all the sources configured in the Search AI application are accessible to agents via the Agent AI widget > Search tab. In the search results, Snippets and Articles are shown from the Search AI application, and Dialog Tasks and FAQs are shown from the Use Cases of the Agent AI application. Agents can quickly review the search results and share relevant information with the customers. This feature also enables sending internal notes to agents with important, agent-only information that can’t be sent or copied to customers.

Agentic Configurations

The Agentic Copilot app is an agent’s aide. Once an Agentic app is successfully configured and linked with Agent AI, it manages end-to-end conversations autonomously. Agents supervise the conversations and focus more on the quality of service. They can cancel, override, or edit the Agentic conversations, as needed. Agents can also use the “custom tab” to run dialog tasks and perform LLM-powered searches.

This section lets you configure and manage the Agentic Copilot apps. You can configure, test, and save multiple apps simultaneously. Once configured, link these apps with Agent AI to have autonomous, end-to-end task execution.

Configuring an Agentic Copilot app

Follow these steps to configure an Agentic Copilot app:

1. Sign in to Agent AI.
2. Go to Configuration > System Setup > Linked Services, and click Agentic Configurations.
   
3. Click + Add Agentic Copilot App.
   
4. Enter the following information under the App Information section:
