How to classify HappyFox Support Tickets & Chats with generative AI
As a customer support team, you want to ensure that your customers’ concerns are addressed promptly.

In this post, we’ll show you how to use generative AI to automatically classify HappyFox support tickets and chats, reducing the time it takes to process support tickets and ensuring that tickets are routed to the correct point of contact.
What is Text Classification?
Text classification is a natural language processing (NLP) technique that involves using machine learning algorithms to automatically assign one or more predefined categories or labels to a given piece of text. The algorithms typically learn from a training set of labeled text data and use statistical models to identify patterns and features in the text that can be used to classify new, unseen text data.
Text classification is used in a wide range of applications, from spam detection in emails to sentiment analysis in social media posts and reviews. It has become an essential tool for many industries that rely on large amounts of text data, helping to automate tasks and extract valuable insights from the data.
