Can I use the AI agent within a mobile app?
Can I use the AI agent within a mobile app?
Yes, though My AskAI does not currently offer a native mobile SDK. There are several supported routes for embedding your AI agent in a mobile app:
- Intercom integration — If your mobile app already uses the Intercom Messenger SDK, connecting My AskAI to your Intercom account automatically brings AI support into the app.
- Zendesk Messaging — If your app uses the Zendesk Mobile SDK, My AskAI’s Zendesk Messaging integration works within that.
- HubSpot integration — Similarly, if HubSpot’s chat widget is embedded in your app, My AskAI connects through it.
- Zendesk Tickets via in-app contact form — Users can submit support tickets from within your app; the AI agent answers them as it would any Zendesk ticket.
- Email via API — You can route in-app support requests to My AskAI’s Email Assistant via your own backend.
- Custom API integration — Use the Chat API to build a fully custom in-app support experience with your own UI.
Can I route tickets to different agents?
Can I route tickets to different agents?
Yes. Ticket routing is available through several mechanisms depending on your support platform:Pre-handover routing (triage)
On Zendesk, you can combine My AskAI’s Ticket Tagging feature with Zendesk Triggers to route conversations to the correct AI agent or human team before the AI responds. This is useful if you have multiple agents handling different product lines or customer segments.For Intercom, equivalent routing functionality is available — contact support to configure it.Post-handover routing (escalation)
When the AI agent cannot resolve a conversation on supported channels (Zendesk, Intercom, HubSpot, Freshdesk, Freshchat), it either automatically escalates or offers the user the option to speak to a human. On escalation, a tag or message is applied to the ticket or conversation, which can then trigger routing rules in the respective platform to direct to the right team or agent.Playbooks
On Zendesk, Intercom, and HubSpot, Playbooks let you define conditional flows — for example, “if the conversation topic is billing AND the agent cannot answer, route to the billing team.”
How do I manage spam tickets, chats, or conversations?
How do I manage spam tickets, chats, or conversations?
For most businesses, spam accounts for less than 0.1% of all support traffic, so it rarely requires special handling.My AskAI relies on the spam identification and filtering built into your helpdesk platform (Zendesk, Intercom, Freshdesk, HubSpot, Gorgias) to block spam before it reaches the AI agent. These platforms are well-equipped to handle the vast majority of spam automatically.If your account has been targeted by a spike in spam — such as a bot attack — contact the My AskAI team via chat. If spam credits have been consumed unfairly, the team can issue a refund.My AskAI also offers dedicated spam filter controls for additional control at the agent level. You can configure keyword blocks and conversation patterns that should be automatically dismissed without consuming a conversation credit. See the Customization settings for details.
How do I add macros or stock responses to the AI agent?
How do I add macros or stock responses to the AI agent?
Custom Answers are My AskAI’s equivalent of macros. They let you define exact trigger phrases and the precise response the agent should give — overriding the normal retrieval process for specific questions.How to add them:
- Go to Improve → Custom Answers in your dashboard.
- Click Add Custom Answer.
- Enter the trigger question or phrase (e.g. “What is your refund policy?”).
- Enter the exact response the agent should give.
- Save. The Custom Answer takes effect immediately.
How do I connect a live chat channel?
How do I connect a live chat channel?
My AskAI supports native integrations with several major live chat and helpdesk platforms. To connect a channel:
- Go to Channels in your My AskAI dashboard.
- Find your platform and click Connect.
- Authorise My AskAI using your platform admin account (OAuth or API key, depending on the platform).
- Follow the platform-specific setup steps.
Authorization requires an admin account on the target platform. Agent-level or read-only accounts do not have sufficient permissions to complete the integration.

Can I translate conversations live?
Can I translate conversations live?
Yes, via the Intercom Live Translation feature. When enabled, every message sent by a customer in a non-default language is automatically translated and shown as an internal note in your default language — so your agents can follow the conversation in real time without using Google Translate.When a human agent wants to reply, they type in their own language and click “Translate & Send” — the message is automatically translated into the customer’s language before being delivered.Setup: Contact the My AskAI team via the chat widget to enable Live Translation on your Intercom account.Pricing: Translation costs $0.05 per ticket or conversation, charged as an add-on at the end of each billing period, regardless of conversation length.
Live Translation is currently available for Intercom only. If you need this feature for another platform, contact support to discuss availability.
