What happened

Babbel uses Zendesk AI agents to automate routine support requests such as subscription status and management or changing the preferred language, across messaging, email and chat. It also uses Copilot for ticket summaries, suggested macros, writing tools, and for classifying tickets by topic and language to route them to agents with the right skills.

Summary written by usedby from the source page, in English. The figures are those of Zendesk AI and Babbel, not ours.
