Our 12 Days of Agents series rolls on to day three with one of the most popular use cases we saw throughout 2025: the IT Support Agent. And it’s easy to understand why. Whenever you sit down with IT support teams or those who rely on them, the same themes come up again and again. Teams are burdened with high volumes of routine questions, knowledge spread across different places, and the pressure to respond quickly while juggling everything else happening in the background.
The IT Support Agent steps in to smooth out that everyday experience. It can be built in a few different ways depending on what your organisation needs, from an employee-facing version that answers common tech questions, to an internal tool that support analysts use while they triage issues. It can even connect into systems like ServiceNow to help create tickets, surface known fixes or guide someone through troubleshooting.
The strength of this agent is its flexibility. You can keep it lightweight and focused on FAQs, or expand it into a more advanced assistant that supports your IT processes end-to-end. Either way, it gives people faster access to the information they need, and helps IT teams stay focused on the work that matters.
Challenge
IT teams hear a lot of the same questions every day. It’s everything from password resets to software installs to “why won’t this connect?”. None of these are hard on their own, but they take time to answer, especially when the information sits across SharePoint pages, old PDFs, knowledge articles or past tickets. Analysts often jump between systems to double-check steps, look up the right form or confirm a workflow before helping the next person in the queue.
At the same time, employees just want fast, clear guidance so they can get back to work. Small issues can stack up quickly, and even a short delay can slow down a project, a meeting or a whole team.
It’s a shared challenge on both sides: lots of questions, lots of places where answers live, and a constant need to keep things moving smoothly.
How the program agent solves these problems
The IT Support Agent gives teams a simple, reliable way to move through their work. Instead of searching through multiple systems or navigating long documents, teams or IT support can ask the agent a question in plain language and get the right information in seconds.
It brings together approved knowledge from places like SharePoint, ServiceNow and internal guides, and presents it in a way that’s easy to act on while supporting a user.
Depending on how your organisation sets it up, the agent can take different forms. Some teams use it as a tool for employees, helping them troubleshoot common issues on their own. Others deploy it as a sidekick for the service desk, helping support teams quickly check known fixes, find the right article, or pre-fill a ticket when escalation is needed. It can also connect into your existing systems, so creating a ticket, checking a device record or confirming a known error becomes a single step.
Across all these variations, the agent purpose remains the same. At it’s core, it is designed to reduce the small frictions that slow IT support down, and make it easier for people to help each other. The agent gives teams a quick starting point, supports consistent guidance across the team, and frees up space for humans to focus on the more complex parts of IT support.
Expected outcomes
With the IT Support Agent in place, everyday support becomes faster and easier for everyone.
Employees get practical answers without needing to hunt through documentation or wait in a queue. IT teams gain a reliable tool to help them triage, troubleshoot and keep work moving, especially during peak times.
The agent reduces time spent on repetitive lookups, gives people clearer steps to follow and supports more consistent guidance across the board. And when an issue does need a human, the agent hands it over with the right context already captured.
The result is a supportive workflow for IT teams and a better experience for the people they help. a simple, genuine improvement to day-to-day work, built on the strengths of both AI and human expertise.
