What is an MSP answering service?
It is what picks up when clients call a managed service provider and the engineers cannot. Zanus AI does it with AI, not a room of operators: it answers every call on your number, asks your triage questions, opens a ticket with the answers and transfers or books the work by your rules. The website chat, e-mail and forms get the same treatment.
Can the AI triage requests before an engineer is pulled in?
Yes, that is its main job here. You write the questions for each kind of request: the client and user, the device or system, the exact error message, when it started, what was already tried and how many people are affected. The answers sit in the ticket, so the engineer who picks it up does not have to call back to find out what is wrong.
Does it log into client systems or fix problems remotely?
No. It has no access to your clients' computers, networks or accounts, and it resets no password. If you give it a short list of checks for a symptom, such as restarting a router or reseating a cable, it reads them out and notes the result. Anything past your steps becomes a ticket, a transfer or a booked visit.
How does it handle outages and after-hours calls?
You define urgent. A server down, a whole office offline or a suspected breach can be transferred at once to your on-call engineer, with the AI saying who is calling and why. Anything that can wait is logged as a ticket for the morning, and the caller hears exactly what happens next, in your words.
Does it suit a computer repair shop with drop-offs and walk-ins?
Yes. Customers who call or chat are asked the model, the symptom and what happened, hear the steps your bench wrote, and book a drop-off slot in the bench calendar, with a reminder before they come. Repair quotes go out from your own price list after your yes, and warranty or return requests are checked against your rules.
Can a software company use it as an AI chatbot for SaaS customers?
Yes. The chat runs on your own help pages and website, by text or voice, in 40 languages, and answers from the knowledge base you give it, so users get the documented answer at any hour. When the answer is not there, it opens a support ticket with the account, the steps tried and the error, and prospects can book a live meeting with your sales team.
Will it replace our service desk technicians?
That is not the point. The AI takes the intake, the repeat questions, the overflow and the nights, so your technicians spend their hours on the tickets that need skill. You set each department to AI only, AI first or person first, and change it whenever the workload changes.
Do we have to give up the tools we use to monitor and fix client systems?
No. Zanus AI brings its own help desk, CRM and booking calendars, filled from every call, chat, e-mail and form, so intake, ticket and visit sit together from the first day. It does not take over the tools your engineers use to monitor, patch or repair your clients' systems; those stay exactly as they are.
Can we keep our support number?
Yes. Keep the number on your stickers, e-mail signatures and contracts and forward it to the AI, as you would to any IT support answering service. Nothing is ported, nothing is installed, and you can turn the forwarding off whenever you choose.
Which languages can it use with our clients and users?
Theirs. Each caller is answered in their own language, the website chat works in 40 languages by text or voice, and a call can be passed to the engineer who speaks it. Whatever the language, the answers land in the same ticket format your desk already reads.
How much does an MSP answering service from Zanus AI cost?
Zanus AI is priced per company, never per seat, so every engineer, technician and office person works under one subscription, however large the team grows. Choose the modules your company needs; the plans are on the pricing page, and the whole front office can run free for a week before you decide.
What is the difference between the 7-day free trial and the demo?
The free trial builds a sandbox of your own company from your website: for 7 days a phone line answers as your help desk, Lisa sits on your website and the tickets show in your dashboard, with no card asked. The demo needs nothing from you: a ready-made AI front office, sent by e-mail in about 2 minutes.
