If you’re part of an IT team, you know the feeling. The inbox or helpdesk is flooded daily with a steady stream of level 1 (L1) requests — password resets, access issues, basic troubleshooting. These repetitive, low-complexity requests clog the pipeline and take valuable time away from IT admins who should be focusing on higher-impact projects.

But what if those routine tickets didn’t have to drain your team? What if employees could get faster answers, and IT admins could reclaim their time to work on strategic initiatives?

That’s exactly where Siit’s AI Agent shines. By automating, triaging, and enabling self-service, it helps IT teams dramatically reduce L1 ticket volume while streamlining internal operations and boosting employee satisfaction.

1. Automate Repetitive Tasks with AI Powered Workflows

Manual handling of repetitive service requests from employees is a huge time sink. Siit’s AI Powered Workflows lets you build no-code, customizable automation for frequent L1 tasks like password resets, application access, and device requests.

Thanks to integrations with Slack, Microsoft Teams, Jira, and Zendesk, these automated workflows connect smoothly with the tools your team already uses.

By automating these workflows:

  • IT admins save hours of manual work every week

  • Common errors and missteps get eliminated

  • Resolutions happen faster, boosting employee satisfaction

The best part? You don’t need to be a developer to set these up. Siit’s intuitive interface means your team can tailor workflows to your unique processes — no code required.

2. Smartly Route Tickets Using AI Triage

Not all tickets are created equal, and manual triage can be slow and error-prone. Siit’s AI Triage automatically categorizes incoming requests and routes them to the right IT admin or team, or resolves simple issues on the spot.

This intelligent routing accelerates responses and ensures tickets are triaged to the correct team instantly, removing bottlenecks and reducing backlogs. Siit’s integrations with BambooHR and Okta help enrich ticket data, improving routing accuracy.

Over time, the AI learns and adapts, improving accuracy and efficiency.

3. Empower Employees to Self-Serve via Slack Bot and Teams Bot

Sometimes the best way to reduce L1 tickets is to prevent them altogether. Siit’s Slack Bot and Teams Bot bring support directly to the communication channels employees use every day.

With these bots, employees can:

  • Submit and track service requests from within Slack or Microsoft Teams

  • Get instant answers to common questions without opening a ticket

  • Access relevant articles suggested automatically by the AI

By providing seamless, contextual self-service, you reduce ticket volume and speed up resolutions — all while improving employee experience by meeting them where they work.

4. Maintain Service Quality with SLA Management

Automation and self-service are great, but you still need to ensure timely support for employees. Siit’s SLA Management helps your team set clear resolution goals and monitor performance against them.

With transparent SLAs, you can:

  • Keep employees informed with realistic expectations

  • Prioritize urgent requests effectively

  • Continuously improve response times

This guarantees that reducing L1 volume doesn’t come at the expense of service quality.

5. Speed Up Responses with Response Templates

Repeating the same answers is tedious and inefficient. With Response Templates, IT admins can save pre-crafted replies to common questions and send them quickly, maintaining consistent and clear communication.

This small but mighty tool helps cut response times and reduces cognitive load on the team.

6. Gain Insights with 360° Employee Profile

When IT admins have all relevant employee information at their fingertips, they resolve requests faster and more effectively. Siit’s 360° Employee Profile provides a unified view of each employee’s history, devices, and prior requests.

Thanks to integrations with Google Workspace, Workday, and device management tools like Microsoft Intune, the profile is enriched with all the context admins need.

Benefits include:

  • Personalized and informed support

  • Faster diagnosis and resolution of issues

  • Reduced back-and-forth communication

It’s like giving your IT admins a cheat sheet for every request.

7. Continuously Improve Support with Satisfaction Surveys

Great support is always evolving. Siit’s Satisfaction Survey collects instant feedback from employees after each interaction, giving IT teams actionable insights to refine workflows and improve employee experience.

This ongoing feedback loop helps ensure your internal support stays responsive and aligned with employee needs.
