Pipedrive AI: Sales assistant in Pipedrive CRM: deal tips, emails and summaries.

Zendesk AI: AI agents and agent suggestions in the Zendesk support suite.

Deal tips work only when managers log activities: without call records the assistant stays silent
The model writes client emails from a template: add a detail from the last conversation
Email sync gives the CRM access to the manager's correspondence: set which emails the team can see

Automatic sentiment classification gets irony and slang wrong: do not tie priority to it without checking
The agent sends a suggested reply only after reading it: the model mixes up terms of different plans
Customer tickets with personal data are stored in Zendesk's cloud: set up deletion after a retention period
