FAQ

What are intents?

Intents in the Jira Service Management virtual service agent represent a specific question, request, or problem that the virtual agent might be able to resolve for a help seeker, like VPN troubleshooting or a software access request. When the virtual service agent detects an intent in a customer’s message, it asks them to confirm that the intent detected is correct. Once confirmed, the virtual service agent starts the conversation flow for that intent.

Admins can create intents manually for any issue, or can use suggested intent templates that come pre-built with basic settings based on historical issue data or common requests for a particular team type.

How do intents differ from Atlassian Intelligence answers?

In the virtual service agent, there are two core ways to automate requests: intent flows and Atlassian Intelligence answers.

Intent flows, which can be created manually or by the virtual agent via ‘from your data’ intent templates, are great for requests that require information collection and triaging, guided troubleshooting, and/or an automated action via web request.

Atlassian Intelligence answers, or AI answers, uses generative AI to search across your linked knowledge base spaces and answer your customer questions without needing to create an intent. AI answers requires no setup – you can begin automating responses to requests instantly – and is ideal for customer questions that:

Can be resolved by providing information or instructions
Are covered in (or can be added to) your existing knowledge base articles
Don’t usually need to be escalated to a human agent

You can use one or both of these to automate requests with the virtual service agent. When a customer sends a message, the virtual service agent will always first try to match it to any existing intents. If no intents match, it’ll then try to answer the question using Atlassian Intelligence answers.

How do I set up Atlassian Intelligence answers for the virtual service agent?

To use Atlassian Intelligence answers in the Jira Service Management virtual service agent, an admin must toggle on the AI answers feature in virtual agent settings.
