AI Fields

Automate field population, tagging, and classification of support requests

ClearFeed’s AI Fields are intelligent, auto-filled fields powered by our AI engine. They extract key details from Slack-based support conversations and populate fields like request category, urgency, or sentiment—without manual input.

Traditionally, categorizing or tagging support requests has been manual and error-prone. As Slack volumes grow, this becomes inefficient. AI Fields eliminate that burden, improving speed, consistency, and visibility across your support workflows.

With AI Fields, your team can:

  • Reduce manual effort with intelligent auto-fills

  • Improve consistency in request classification

  • Surface key details early for faster triage and resolution

  • Make smarter, data-driven support decisions

Types of AI Fields

ClearFeed supports two types of AI Fields:

  1. Custom Field-Based AI Fields: You define custom fields and give AI instructions to auto-populate them.

  2. System-Defined AI Fields: Prebuilt fields automatically populated by ClearFeed, no setup required.

Custom Field-Based AI Fields

You can create your own custom fields and configure AI to populate them automatically. This is useful when you want structured data specific to your workflows — such as urgency, product area, or escalation risk.

How to Set It Up

  1. Create a Custom Field

    • Go to Fields → Create New Field.

    • Choose the field type (Text, Single Select, or Multi Select).

    • Add AI Instructions: Describe how AI should understand and use this field.

  2. Set Up an Automation

    • Go to Automations → Create New Automation.

    • Add an action → Auto-fill Fields.

    • Provide a prompt to guide AI and select which fields to auto-fill.

    • Example:

      • Trigger: When a request is created

      • Action: Auto-fill the “Issue Category” field using AI

      • Configure additional conditions and delays as needed in the Automation Builder.

  3. Preview & Test

    • Run the prompt on real request data to verify output accuracy before enabling.

  4. Save the Field

    • Upon saving, you’ll see a confirmation message suggesting you create an automation to trigger AI-based auto-fill.

Use Cases for Custom AI Fields

  • Categorize Request Type Automatically classify requests as a Bug, Feature Request, or Billing issue, based on message content.

  • Identify Urgency in Requests Update the urgency field based on words like “ASAP” or “immediately.”

  • Generate a Request Summary Fill a text field with a short summary for quick triage or sync with tools like JIRA.

  • Auto-Categorize by Product Area Identify if the issue is related to Billing, Reporting, or Integrations, and tag it accordingly.

  • Detect Sentiment or Tone Create a field like “Sentiment” and use AI to populate values like Neutral, Frustrated, or Positive.

  • Flag Escalation Risk Early Populate an “Escalation Risk” field based on signals like repeated follow-ups or dissatisfaction.

System-Defined AI Fields

ClearFeed also offers built-in AI Fields that require no configuration:

Auto-Category

Automatically classifies requests into one or more of the following categories:

  1. Feature Requests: Requests for new product features or enhancements to existing features.

  2. Bug: Issues where the user reports a malfunction or error in the product.

  3. How to Question: General queries from users on how to use the product or specific features.

  4. Problem Report: Requests for reporting issues with a product or service that might not be a bug.

  5. Requests: General requests from users to enable a feature or get some service.

Auto-CSAT

Predicts the customer’s satisfaction with the interaction, updated dynamically as the conversation evolves into the following:

  • Very Positive

  • Positive

  • Neutral

  • Negative

  • Very Negative

Represents the overall sentiment detected in the conversation. The following values are added as a part of the sentiment analysis:
