The problem

Employees don’t want a portal. They want their issue resolved.

An assistant that returns a knowledge article and closes the chat hasn’t helped — it has relocated the work. Employees adopt self-service when the issue is actually fixed at the end of the conversation, and they abandon it the first time it isn’t.

How Rezolve.ai resolves

Sidekick meets employees where they already work

Conversational AI in Microsoft Teams, Slack, email and voice. Every answer is grounded in your knowledge and cited to its source — and then Sidekick executes: password resets, access requests, software provisioning and the rest of the volume that fills a service desk queue.

Rezolve VoiceIQ answers the phones

The phone channel stops being a hold queue and becomes another place issues get resolved, end to end.

Resolve →

Eight specialized agents, one shared conversation

Sidekick is not a single chatbot. Retrieval, execution, verification and escalation each get purpose-built attention, while the employee experiences one coherent assistant.

How it thinks →

Your system of record, or ours

Runs on an AI-first ITSM system of record — or augments the ticketing system you already have.

System of record →
Governed autonomy

Autonomy you can see inside

Every autonomous action is approval-gated where you want it to be, fully audited, and explainable after the fact. That glass-box approach is what lets IT, HR, and Finance leaders expand what Sidekick handles on its own without giving up control.
