**AI agents that close tickets** are agents that, beyond writing the reply, take action on the record: they fill in fields, classify the request and move the card to its final stage. In **Jestor**, these agents are configured per process and operate inside the platform itself.

## Why answering is not enough

An agent that only drafts the reply leaves half the work behind. Someone still has to categorize the request, set the priority and close the card.

That manual residue is what prevents a real productivity gain in a support center or service desk.

What an agent with the power to act solves:

- Repetitive manual categorization of every request
- Cards that get answered but stay open for days
- Attachments nobody reads before replying
- No consistency in how requests are classified per area

## What the agent is able to do

| Agent action              | How it works                                | Result                               |
| ------------------------- | ------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------ |
| Answer the ticket         | Uses your documentation as a knowledge base | Replies with company context         |
| Read attachments with OCR | Extracts content from documents and images  | Decisions based on what was sent     |
| Fill in fields            | Edits only the fields it is allowed to      | Complete records without typing      |
| Classify                  | Sets area, priority or sentiment            | Automatic routing to the right team  |
| Move the card             | Advances or closes the stage                | A queue that always reflects reality |

## How to configure the agent step by step

1. **Write the agent instructions**, defining tone, scope and what it should not answer.
2. **Attach the knowledge base**, usually the official documentation for that process.
3. **Select the editable fields**, releasing only what the agent is allowed to change.
4. **Enable attachment reading** so submitted documents enter the context.
5. **Define the closing rule**, indicating when a card can be closed.
6. **Review the responses** and refine the instructions based on real cases.

## Why field level control matters

The most important setting is not what the agent can do, but what it cannot. By releasing only specific fields, the company keeps control over sensitive data.

That allows you to start with a narrow scope, such as classifying and replying, and expand it as confidence in the agent grows.

- **Controlled scope:** you choose exactly which columns the agent changes
- **Human in the loop:** a person steps into the conversation whenever needed
- **Traceability:** you can review what the agent has already told the customer
- **Agents per area:** support, finance and **HR** with different instructions

## Frequently Asked Questions

### Can the agent change any field on the record?

No. You select which fields it has permission to edit. See it at [jestor.com](https://www.jestor.com/?ref=blog.jestor.com).

### Can the agent read a document attached to the ticket?

Yes. OCR reading lets it use the content of the attachment in its reply.
