What an AI service desk agent is and is not, what the published numbers actually cover, and the stakes behind each decision.

- An AI service desk agent takes internal IT requests in chat and acts in connected systems. How it differs from ChatGPT, what labels hide, and four questions to check.
- Ticket Deflection: What the Number Covers
- A deflection rate counts one event over one population in one window. What to ask a vendor before setting two published figures side by side.
- What Autonomy Means for an IT Agent
- Autonomy is a set of settings an administrator can read: which actions run alone, who approves, how a trial runs, what can be undone and what the log keeps.
- AI Service Desk with SOC 2: What to Read Before Granting Rights
