Category Insight uses machine learning to suggest categories for incoming requests based on their content. To make suggestions available, create a selection of existing requests, train the model, and enable suggestions. Request handlers choose whether to apply each suggestion.
Category Insight requires the SuperOffice AI Platform and a Categorization license, or CRM Suite Growth. SuperOffice AI is available for CRM Online only.
First, enable AI functions for your organization.
