Build an AI Chatbot to Automate Service Request Submissions

This Dify workflow template creates an intelligent Service Request Chatbot that automates the initial stages of customer support. The chatbot uses a form to capture user requests, then leverages an OpenAI-powered question classifier to understand the user's intent. Based on the classification, it either confirms the request submission or provides a helpful AI-generated response, ensuring every inquiry is handled efficiently and instantly.

    Pro Tips

    1
    To create a more robust system, connect the 'Process the request' branch to an external tool like a ticketing system (e.g., Zendesk, Jira) or a database (e.g., Airtable) using an API call to automatically create a new ticket.
    2
    Enhance the 'LLM' node's prompt by providing it with context from your knowledge base. This will enable it to answer 'Other topics' with more specific and helpful information related to your business.
