Product

What ugnAI is and where it fits.

What is ugnAI?

ugnAI is an AI-assisted customer support workspace by DeskXP. It turns customer conversations into structured tickets and keeps messages, customer records, workflows, AI assistance, internal notes, and human handoff in one place.

Is it only a chatbot?

No. The chatbot is only the customer-facing part. Agents work from a ticketing workspace with views, ownership, status, priority, custom fields, customer history, internal notes, knowledge, workflows, and channel controls.

Is ugnAI a Zendesk replacement?

Not for every company. ugnAI is narrower and is designed for growing businesses that want structured customer support without buying and configuring a large enterprise platform.

Who is it best suited for?

Businesses handling repeatable inquiries such as bookings, product questions, order follow-up, lead capture, customer support, and requests that need a controlled handoff to a person.

AI and workflows

What the assistant can and cannot do.

Can I control what the AI says?

Yes. You configure workspace instructions, approved knowledge, workflow behavior, required details, handoff conditions, tone, and topics the assistant must avoid.

Where does the AI get its answers?

It uses approved workspace knowledge, the active workflow, relevant ticket information, and the current conversation. Draft or archived knowledge is not used for customer-facing answers.

Can the AI update ticket fields?

Yes, but only fields that are explicitly configured as AI-collectable and editable, belong to the active workflow, and contain a value clearly provided by the customer.

Does it keep replying after a human takes over?

No. A confirmed handoff disables public AI replies for that ticket. The agent then owns the customer conversation.

Can the AI approve refunds, confirm payments, or confirm bookings?

Not by default. Those actions require verified business data or human authority. ugnAI is designed to collect context and route the request rather than invent or approve a business decision.

Channels

How customer conversations enter the workspace.

Which channels are supported?

The current platform direction includes Facebook Messenger, Instagram messaging, website chat, and email. Availability may depend on workspace setup, provider approval, and the enabled plan.

Can I connect more than one business account?

The standard beta offer starts with one Facebook Page and one Instagram account. Larger or multi-brand setups can be scoped separately.

Do I need administrator access to connect Meta?

Yes. The person connecting the channel needs the required Page, Instagram, and Meta business permissions.

Can a channel be disconnected later?

Yes. An authorized workspace administrator can disconnect an account. Existing ticket data may remain subject to the workspace retention and deletion settings.

Workspace and team

How agents work and how access is controlled.

Can I invite my team?

Yes. Workspace owners and administrators can invite users and assign roles that determine who can respond, manage tickets, configure settings, or administer the workspace.

Can tickets be assigned to specific agents?

Yes. Tickets can be assigned, prioritized, tagged, updated, and organized into working views such as Needs Human, Pending Customer, Unassigned, or My Tickets.

Does ugnAI keep customer history?

Yes. Customer profiles can show contact details, connected identities, previous tickets, conversation history, and structured information already collected.

Can agents add private notes?

Yes. Internal notes remain inside the workspace and are not sent to the customer.

Setup and knowledge

What is configured before launch.

What is included in the setup fee?

The initial setup covers workspace configuration, the first connected channels, three starting workflows, ticket fields, working views, AI instructions, knowledge guidance, and end-to-end testing.

Do I need to prepare a knowledge base?

You need accurate information the assistant is allowed to use. This can include FAQs, service details, operating hours, policies, product information, and escalation instructions.

Can I update the knowledge later?

Yes. Knowledge entries can be added, edited, drafted, published, or archived by authorized workspace users.

Can workflows be changed after launch?

Yes. Workflows can be adjusted as your process changes, including the questions asked, fields collected, default priority, handoff rules, and final customer message.

Pricing and usage

How beta billing and AI limits work.

How much is the current beta plan?

The current offer is ₱5,999 per month plus a one-time setup fee of ₱15,000.

What is included?

The plan includes one Facebook Page, one Instagram account, up to three users, 1,500 AI conversations per month, 5,000 AI replies, up to 10 AI replies per ticket, three workflows, 30 knowledge entries, tickets, customer profiles, human handoff, and basic usage reporting.

What happens when the AI limit is reached?

AI public replies stop, but tickets continue to be created and human agents can still reply. The customer is not shown an internal usage-limit message.

Is a credit card required?

No. Billing is currently handled manually through an invoice and an agreed payment method.

Privacy and security

How customer and workspace information is handled.

Does ugnAI sell customer data?

No. ugnAI does not sell or rent personal information.

Is customer information sent to an AI provider?

Relevant conversation context and approved workspace information may be sent to an AI provider when generating a reply, summary, classification, or structured field. The platform is designed to limit processing to the context needed for the task.

Should customers share passwords or OTPs?

No. ugnAI is not designed to collect passwords, one-time passwords, banking credentials, or complete card information.

Can data be deleted?

Yes. Authorized users and data subjects can request deletion, subject to identity verification, legal obligations, the role of the connected business, and applicable retention requirements.
