When an employee asks for help, IT may already have useful information: the laptop assigned to them, the software the company uses, and an article explaining the fix. Bru brings that information into the conversation so the employee can get relevant help from the start.
Use the device information you already have
With an assigned device recorded in Bru, the assistant can tailor troubleshooting to that device. In the knowledge answer demo, a Mac user gets Mac steps drawn from a company article, with the source shown alongside the reply. The employee can see where the guidance comes from and focus on the instructions that apply.
Hand over the conversation with the ticket
When the answer does not resolve the problem, the employee can escalate with the conversation attached. The agent sees the original explanation and the troubleshooting already attempted. Bru can also offer to attach a related conversation to the requester’s existing open ticket, keeping the issue together.
Turn recurring fixes into shared answers
Once the work is resolved, Bru can look for recurring gaps in the knowledge base and draft an article from the source tickets. A second AI review supplies a verdict and notes; an admin edits and approves the article before publishing. That gives the team a concrete way to turn support work into help other employees can use.
Put the everyday experience to the test
Zendesk supports both customer and employee service, with ticketing, knowledge, AI, and automation. For an employee support comparison, try a device-specific question and then inspect the handoff to an agent. Bru’s demos show the context an employee brings in and the context IT receives.
