CrushBank, the Natural-Language AI Solution for IT Help Desks, Reaches 500,000 Query Milestone
SYOSSET, N.Y., Oct. 29, 2020 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- CrushBank, developers of an artificial intelligence (AI) solution purpose-built to provide answers used in IT support, today announced its Ask module has reached a major usage milestone, providing answers to more than 500,000 queries. Achieving this level of usage since general availability highlights not only CrushBank's broad user acceptance but also its high-performance capabilities.
The revolutionary product, which accurately answers natural-language-query questions in seconds, has become a go-to resource for IT help desk engineers to pose questions about hardware, software, business data and more.
"We analyzed our 500,000 query database and found that 20% of CrushBank user searches were to find detailed, hardware-related information, such as an IP address, a configuration or other supporting documentation specific to that product," said CrushBank CTO David Tan. "Additionally, in nearly 9% of searches, CrushBank was utilized to expedite identification of CRM information, such as a phone number buried in a note. We perform these analyses regularly to help us determine future enhancements that better serve our clients and their staffs."
Born of a service-ticketing solution developed by two IT managed services experts, CrushBank is the first IT Help Desk application built on Watson, IBM's breakthrough cognitive technology. CrushBank's developers are working on numerous modules, including not only Ask but also Insight and Resolve. Once Insight is integrated with Ask in the upcoming months, the solution will be able to share anonymized top issues from as many as 10 million support tickets.
"We are very pleased with all the modules we developed, but Ask is perhaps our greatest achievement," said Tan. "It interacts so seamlessly and quickly with the underlying CrushBank database that users perceive no delay in obtaining the answers they need to maintain productive operation."
