Request management with AI that reads first

Requests arrive complete. Your team starts informed.

Assist Engine is the request workspace for teams that take in work. Adaptive portals and email bring requests in with the right details. AI reads each one as it arrives. Your team replies, decides — and keeps what it learned.

Label printer not printing

Ava Morales · Pinecrest Supply Co.

Our shipping workstation SHIP-04 stopped printing labels about 20 minutes ago. We have 32 paid orders waiting and our last carrier pickup is in about 90 minutes. The printer is on and shows Ready, but Windows shows 8 jobs stuck in the queue. Other PCs can print normally. We have not restarted anything yet because we do not want to lose the labels already in the queue. Can someone look at this right away?

AI analysis Stored with the ticket on arrival

Summary

The shipping workstation SHIP-04 is unable to print labels, with 8 jobs stuck in the Windows print queue. Other PCs can still print normally, and the issue is affecting 32 paid orders with a carrier pickup in about 90 minutes.

Priority High · raised from MediumPrint Services · AI assigned 97%

Likely Root Cause

Requires more information. Likely causes include a stuck Windows print spooler, a corrupted print queue, a workstation-to-printer connection issue, or a driver problem on SHIP-04.

Needed details: printer model/name, whether the queue jobs show an error status, whether the printer is networked or USB-connected…

02Moments later the analysis is stored with the ticket: what matters, a priority and category, what is still unknown, and suggested next steps.

02 — One request, end to end

Everything the next person needs is already on the ticket.

The same demo request after the team worked it. Whoever opens it — the owner, a colleague covering, a manager — starts from the same facts.

  1. The request, as it was asked

    The requester’s own words, their client and contact, and any portal answers or files stay attached to the ticket.

  2. Ownership in plain sight

    Status, priority, owner and the service target sit at the top. The team sees who else has it open.

  3. The analysis, next to the work

    Summary, likely cause, what is missing and suggested steps — stored when the request arrived, ready to check against the facts.

  4. Two kinds of conversation

    Customer-visible replies and internal notes are separate. Notes never reach the portal or a forwarded copy.

  5. The fix, written down once

    Resolution notes can generate a knowledge-base draft, which a person reviews before anyone relies on it.

Jordan Ellis · Reply · visible in the portal

Thanks for reporting this — we’re treating SHIP-04 as urgent… I’ll call the shipping desk in five minutes so we don’t lose the queued labels.

Internal note · only visible to your team

Check whether last night’s label driver update reached SHIP-04 before clearing anything.

How was this resolved?

SHIP-04’s print queue was paused after a label driver update. Restarted the Print Spooler service and resumed the queue; all 8 stuck labels printed and none were lost. Ava confirmed the remaining orders printed before the carrier pickup.

03 — One engine, configured for the work

Same engine. Your team’s words, forms and review rules.

A work profile is chosen when a workspace is set up. It changes what a request is called, how time is tracked, which starter form requesters see, what the analysis looks for, and whether AI output needs human review.

Automations

Rules you set

One trigger, one action — assign, route, notify, confirm receipt. Every run is logged with its result.

Runs when a request arrives; suggested replies stay drafts.

Copilot

Help on request

Answers from records the person may read, with sources. Proposes changes — replies, notes, documents, portals.

Acts only after someone confirms.

Copilot, for example: bring the form you already use.

Upload a document and say who the portal is for. Copilot proposes the fields, layout and access. You review it, confirm it, and the portal exists — after the same permission checks as any other change.

Copilot is activated per workspace and follows each person’s permissions. It is not switched on automatically by a plan or the trial.

Who is Assist Engine for?
Teams that take in requests from other people: IT and MSP service desks, marketing and creative teams, internal services, product development, and finance or procurement. A work profile sets each workspace’s vocabulary, tracking, starter form and AI guidance; a custom profile covers mixed teams.
How does starting free work?
Create a workspace and it begins on the Free plan with a 30-day Pro trial. No card is requested. When the trial ends, the workspace reads as Free again unless you upgrade; nothing is deleted, and new additions stop at the Free limits. Prices are per workspace, per month.
Does the AI reply to people on its own?
No. Suggested replies arrive as drafts, and a person decides what to send. Product, finance and custom profiles also require human review of AI output by default. Rule-based automations you configure — such as a receipt confirmation — run on their own, and each run is logged.
What does Copilot need?
Copilot is activated per workspace; it is not switched on by a plan or the trial. It only uses records the person asking is allowed to read. By default, admins can apply its proposed changes and technicians can ask questions and draft. Talk to us to activate it.
Can we keep using email?
Yes. Use an Assist Engine address, or forward your existing mailbox to the workspace after verifying it. Replies thread into the same ticket, next to anything that came through a portal.
Are the examples on this site real?
The films are recordings of the product in isolated demo workspaces with fictional people and companies; shortened waits are marked. Drawn product scenes are labeled as illustrations and use text the product stored in those runs. The sample request runs only in your browser.
