Incident Updates: questions

What is AI incident communication?

It is using AI to write the updates customers see during a service incident. With Clone, your clone drafts status updates that follow your standards and helps escalate critical issues the right way.

Do I need to connect an app?

No. Incident Updates works without a connection. Share the latest facts and the clone drafts the update.

Which clones use Incident Updates?

Support agent, customer success manager and engineer clones use it whenever an incident affects customers.

What goes into a good incident update?

What is happening, who is affected, what the team is doing, any workaround and when the next update will come. The clone checks each draft for all five.
