Automation vs agent assist

Zendesk AI focuses on automation. Macha focuses on assisting agents while they work.

Control vs flexibility

Zendesk AI applies rules globally. Macha adapts per agent and per ticket.

Native coexistence

Macha works alongside Zendesk AI — not instead of it.

Automation at scale

Zendesk AI is primarily built to automate repetitive support tasks. It excels when teams want to:
- Route tickets automatically
- Trigger macros and workflows
- Deflect tickets using bots or help centers
- Enforce consistent rules across tickets
‍
Zendesk AI works best when decisions can be made without human judgment.
However, this also means:
- Limited flexibility per agent
- Less control over generated language
- Less transparency during ticket handling
- Minimal agent-side assistance while replying
For teams handling complex, nuanced conversations, automation alone is often not enough.

Helping agents work faster and better

Macha AI Copilot is built specifically for agent-in-the-loop workflows inside Zendesk.
Instead of replacing agents, it helps them:
- Draft accurate replies in seconds
- Summarize long ticket conversations
- Translate inbound and outbound messages
- Maintain brand tone across replies
- Understand sentiment and context quickly
‍
Agents stay in control.
AI assists — but never sends replies automatically unless you explicitly allow it.
This makes Macha ideal for high-touch support, multilingual teams, and quality-sensitive environments.

Zendesk AI + Macha = best of both worlds

Most teams don’t replace Zendesk AI — they complement it.
A common setup looks like this:
- Zendesk AI handles routing, macros, and deflection
- Macha AI Copilot helps agents draft replies, translate messages, and understand tickets
- Agents remain confident and in control
- Automation runs in the background without disrupting human judgment
This layered approach improves speed without sacrificing quality.

Maintain consistent tone across agents and languages.

“We have been using Macha AI and are super satisfied. Accessing the app is super integrated in Zendesk itself and with a few keywords a customer message can be written in no time at all. We had to contact the team with a question and our request was implemented within a few hours”
