View similar conversations to find solutions in past inquiries [open beta]

Edited

Overview

Front’s similar conversations feature automatically finds conversations related to the one you’re currently working on. Use this feature to quickly learn from previous solutions to resolve your current inquiry.

The benefits of using similar conversations include:

  • Handling complex inquiries faster and more efficiently

  • Reducing the need to manually search through previous conversations

  • Learn from prior conversations to identify trends and improve processes


Prerequisites

To participate in the beta:

  • Enable the Similar conversations setting via the AI tab in company settings.

  • You must have shared inboxes containing emails in English.


How it works

Find similar conversations

When AI can find past conversations that are similar to the one you are working on, an indicator will appear at the top of the conversation.

Hover over the indicator to see a list of email conversations from the past month. You’ll see up to three conversations in shared inboxes you have access to.

Conversation previews

Hover over any conversation to either see a summary of a long conversation if it exists or the latest message. A summary will display if an AI summary was generated for the conversation.
