Zendesk voice AI agents
AI customer service agents
Zendesk voice AI agents answer inbound calls on a Zendesk voice (Talk) line before a human agent does. They are set up in Zendesk's AI agents workspace and resolve what they can using the customer's knowledge and procedures. Each call creates or updates a Zendesk ticket, and unresolved calls go to the phone queue with a transcript, an AI summary and the detected intent. The feature is for existing Zendesk Suite or Support-with-Talk customers.

- Zendesk publishes unit prices, but voice AI agent cost is spread across several meters. (1) A Zendesk plan with voice is required: any Suite plan, or Support with Talk; Talk Partner Edition is not supported. Seat prices are per human agent per month; $55 is Suite Team billed annually, and $69 billed monthly. (2) AI agent usage is billed in automated resolutions at $1.50 each committed or $2.00 pay-as-you-go. Zendesk's voice AI agent help article says calls 'can also consume automated resolutions'. (3) Per the Talk pricing article, a $0.005 per-minute 'AI agent connection' charge applies while a voice AI agent is connected, on top of normal telephony minutes and recording charges. per_minute_usd records only the AI-connection charge, not total call cost. Zendesk also describes a newer 'resolution tiers' model that accounts move to at renewal with 30 days' notice; its rates were not reviewed.

Zendesk's pricing page says its BAA 'is available for execution by Subscribers', and its Trust Center says customers who want a BAA covering AI features must have the Advanced Compliance add-on. Zendesk does not specifically say whether voice AI agent calls are in BAA scope. The voice AI agent help article says the feature is not intended for emergency calls or emergency healthcare triage.
“Unconfirmed” means Zendesk voice AI agents's public pages don't say either way. Rules for AI phone calls
