100-word summary
BoldDesk's March update promises 70% faster ticket resolutions and a 3x productivity bump for support agents, though the company hasn't shared sample sizes or independent benchmarks. The trick: AI now predicts which team should handle each ticket before a human touches it, killing the "sorry, wrong department" loop. It also writes replies and detects when customers are angry. The platform exports knowledge bases in a format built for feeding to language models, which should make AI answers less hallucinatory. Proactive WhatsApp and SMS campaigns are still in beta. One catch: 92% customer satisfaction sounds impressive until you realize we don't know what it was before.
