# How do you choose the best AI ticketing system?

Choose an AI ticketing system by testing it on your own tickets. Compare how accurately it classifies and routes requests, how many it can resolve end to end, which systems it connects to, how it enforces permissions, how it assists agents, how easily you can migrate, and whether pricing is per seat, per resolution or by usage.

## Eight criteria

| Criterion | How to test it |
|---|---|
| Triage accuracy | Run 500 past tickets through it and check category, priority and team |
| AI resolution | Measure how many tickets it fully resolves, not just answers |
| Data connections | Can it read and act in your CRM, billing, product and identity tools? |
| Permissions | Does AI respect each user's access, including customers in shared channels? |
| Agent assist | Summaries, drafted replies, similar-ticket search |
| Engineering link | Can support tickets connect to bugs and feature requests? |
| Analytics | Can you ask questions in plain language and get trends? |
| Pricing | Per seat, per resolution or usage credits; model the cost at your volume |

## Questions to ask vendors

- What resolution rate do customers like us see, and how is it measured?
- What happens when the AI is not confident?
- How long does migration take, and what history comes across?
- Which actions can require human approval?

## Common mistake

Buying a traditional help desk with an AI add-on bolted on. If the AI cannot reach account data or take actions, resolution rates usually plateau.

## FAQ

### What is an AI ticketing system?

It is a ticketing or help desk system that uses AI to classify, route, summarize and resolve support requests, and to help agents reply faster.

### Is AI ticketing only for large companies?

No. Smaller teams often benefit most, because AI covers volume they cannot staff for.

### How do I measure the ROI of an AI ticketing system?

Compare cost per resolved ticket, time to resolution, CSAT and agent capacity before and after rollout.
