AI that reads incoming TOPdesk incidents, acts across your systems, and resolves tickets in TOPdesk
An autonomous AI agent that reads incoming TOPdesk incidents from students and staff, understands intent, accesses your campus systems and knowledge articles to answer personally, and responds through TOPdesk. Built for higher education, governed by design.
An agent that takes action
The agent goes beyond conversation. It reads incoming TOPdesk incidents, checks your campus systems and knowledge articles, and actually resolves the incident in TOPdesk - so the enquiry is answered, not just acknowledged.
What could this be worth at your university?
A quick calculator for the specific use case of AI service automation in TOPdesk, across incidents from students and staff.

How we calculate this
This estimates the staff-time value recovered by deploying the agent on TOPdesk email. Defaults sit in the middle of ranges we see in real higher education deployments, not at the optimistic end.
- Ticket volumesIf unknown, we estimate roughly 5 tickets per student per year. This reflects tickets from students and staff combined - UK HE staff headcount is typically 20-25% of student population, so staff-generated tickets are folded into this per-student ratio.
- Handling timeDefault 8 minutes per ticket. UK HE service desk benchmarks typically fall in 5-15 minutes.
- Auto-resolution rateDefault 55%. Adjust to reflect the profile of your own service desk tickets.
- Staff cost£28/hour fully loaded for a professional services role. Adjust to your institution.
- SXP.ai costsDoes not include platform or set-up costs. This is the gross staff-time value to offset against those costs, not a net ROI.
It also does not capture the qualitative benefits: 24/7 availability, consistency, faster response, and the student-experience impact of being answered immediately. This calculator is a planning aid, not a quotation or commitment.
