Set up auto-summarization for conversations

Agents can collaborate with other agents and contacts directly while they're working in Dynamics 365 Customer Service. To help agents easily recap an ongoing customer interaction, turn on auto-summarization for conversations. Agents can generate a conversation summary when they either transfer a conversation, add a user to consult, or start a linked Teams chat. The summary quickly provides context and relays any steps taken.

Components of an auto-summarize conversations

The conversation summary feature uses an AI natural language model to summarize a transcript of an active conversation. Summaries are limited to the first 7,000 characters of a transcript.

A summary includes the following components:

• Issue description: Summarizes the key customer problems to solve in a conversation. The model needs at least three customer messages to generate the issue description.

• Resolution tried: Summarizes any troubleshooting steps or possible solutions that agents have tried. If the model can't identify a resolution from the transcript, this section is blank. If the case is resolved or the conversation ends, the application displays this label as Resolution.

Regional availability and supported languages

The auto-summarization of conversations is available in United States and Europe.

This feature is supported only in English.
