Documentation
Everything you need to set up, configure, and get the most out of ITSM Autopilot.
Getting started
What is ITSM Autopilot
ITSM Autopilot is an AI automation layer on top of your existing ITSM/ESM platform. It classifies tickets, finds solutions in your knowledge base, and learns from every resolved incident.
Supported ITSM platforms:
- Freshservice
- ServiceNow
- TOPdesk
- Zendesk
- Jira Service Management
- Halo PSA
- + custom integrations via webhook
You provide your own OpenAI API key. This gives you full control over your data processing and costs.
Creating an account
- Go to the sign-in page and register with your email.
- You get a 30-day free trial. No credit card required.
- After registration you are directed to the onboarding wizard.
Onboarding
The onboarding consists of three steps:
- Step 1: Enter your OpenAI API key. You can create one at platform.openai.com.
- Step 2: Connect your ITSM platform. Choose your platform, enter the domain and credentials.
- Step 3: Your 4 pre-configured AI agents are ready.
ITSM Connection
Supported platforms
ITSM Autopilot integrates with the most widely used ITSM/ESM platforms:
- Freshservice
- ServiceNow
- TOPdesk
- Zendesk
- Jira Service Management
- Halo PSA
- + custom integrations via webhook
Each platform connects via API key, Bearer token, Basic Auth, or OAuth 2.0.
Setting up connection
- Go to Settings > Integrations.
- Select your platform.
- Enter your domain (e.g.
company.freshservice.com). - Enter your API credentials.
- Click "Test" to verify the connection.
- Copy the webhook URL and configure it in your ITSM platform.
Webhook configuration
ITSM Autopilot receives tickets via webhooks from your ITSM platform.
- Configure your ITSM to send webhook events on ticket create and update.
- The webhook URL is shown in Settings > Integrations.
- Optional: enable HMAC signature verification for extra security.

AI Agents
Agent overview
ITSM Autopilot includes 4 pre-configured agents covering the full ticket lifecycle:
Agent phases
Each agent can be in one of four phases:
Agent instructions
Each agent has a customizable system prompt that controls its behavior:
- Write behavior rules in plain language (NL or EN).
- Configure trigger conditions (when the agent should run).
- Set system scope (which applications/systems the agent handles).
Example system instruction: "Only answer tickets about Microsoft 365. Route Exchange-related tickets to the email team."
Tools
Each agent has one or more tools (workflows). A tool consists of steps:
- Knowledge search - searches the knowledge base
- AI reasoning - lets the model reason
- Condition check - checks conditions
- API call - calls external APIs
Each step has configurable thresholds and constraints. You can enable or disable individual tools per agent. System tools cannot be deleted, only enabled or disabled.
Knowledge Base
How the knowledge base works
The Knowledge Curator automatically extracts solutions from resolved tickets. Each article contains:
- Title
- Symptoms
- Root cause
- Workaround
- Instructions
- Tags
Articles start in "pending review" status until you approve them. Approved articles are used by other agents to resolve future tickets.
Managing knowledge articles
- View all articles on the Knowledge page.
- Approve or reject pending articles.
- Edit existing articles to improve quality.
- Add your own articles manually.
- The system tracks how often each article is matched (occurrences).
The knowledge flywheel
The knowledge flywheel is the core mechanism that continuously improves your service desk:
Dashboard & Monitoring
Dashboard
The dashboard gives you an at-a-glance overview of:
- Setup checklist - OpenAI key, ITSM connection, active agent
- Tickets processed - total and success rate
- Average AI confidence - confidence score
- Tickets per day - chart
- Agent performance - overview per agent
- Recent runs - latest processing results
Runs (Activity)
Every ticket processing is logged as a "run".
- Each run shows which agents triggered, which steps ran, and the confidence scores.
- Timeline view with step-by-step execution details.
- Filter by agent.
Audit Log
The audit log records all system events:
- Agent created, key saved, connections updated
- Configuration change tracking
Settings
AI Model
- Default model: gpt-5-mini (fast, cost-effective)
- Per-tool override: select gpt-5 for tools that need stronger reasoning
- Knowledge Curator tools use gpt-5 by default for better extraction quality
- Model settings are in Settings > AI & Data
Users
- Invite team members via email.
- Three roles: Admin (full access), Operator (run agents, edit knowledge), Viewer (read-only).
- Manage roles in Settings > Users & Access.
Secret Vault
- Store API keys, OAuth tokens, and credentials securely.
- Encrypted at rest.
- Referenced by agents when making API calls.
- Manage in the Vault page.
Security & Privacy
Data security
- All data encrypted in transit (TLS) and at rest.
- Row-level security: organizations cannot see each other's data.
- ITSM credentials stored in encrypted vault.
PII masking
Personal data is automatically detected and masked before storage:
- Email addresses
- Phone numbers
- Employee IDs
- IP addresses
- Credit card numbers
- SSN
Knowledge base articles are always PII-free. Ticket activity logs are masked before persistence.
OpenAI & Data processing
- You provide your own OpenAI API key.
- Your data is sent to OpenAI via YOUR key (you are the data controller).
- ITSM Autopilot does not maintain its own OpenAI accounts for customer data.
- Review OpenAI's data usage policies for your key type.
