  • Translate to: Translates the text's responses by AI into different languages.


Allow agent to chat with AI in the agent assist panel
The feature enables agents to chat directly with OpenAI, allowing for real
-time conversations with the AI. This facilitates seeking assistance, clarification, or generating responses interactively.


Enable generative AI for auto answer errand
This feature enables CentionAI to integrate with the Agent Assist panel, allowing you to chat
with the AI and access relevant answers. Once activated, you can upload and update essential information to improve the AI's support capabilities through documents and the knowledge base library.

How to upload documents to the AI:
