Suggested Responses

Suggested responses surface Ari generated draft replies directly in the composer using your knowledge sources and the full thread context.

Suggested responses are only available on the Horizon or Frontier plans.

How it works

When a new support request comes in, Plain will generate a suggested reply if there is enough information in your knowledge sources and the full thread context to provide the answer. The suggestion appears directly in the composer, ready for review, edits, or sending.

The more knowledge sources you connect, the better suggestions become. This is especially effective for teams handling technical, policy heavy, or product specific questions where accuracy matters.

If Plains AI doesn't have enough information, a reply won't be generated. This helps ensure that suggested replies are always useful.

Enabling suggested responses

  1. Go to Settings → Plain AI

  2. Toggle Suggested responses

Once enabled, suggestions will appear automatically in the composer whenever they’re available.

Team members who prefer not to see suggested responses can toggle their visibility using the icon button directly in the composer.

Make suggestions smarter with knowledge sources

To provide deeper and more accurate suggestions, connect your support documentation. Plain will index it and use it alongside past conversations to generate better replies.

This is especially powerful for B2B teams handling technical, policy-heavy, or product-specific issues. See knowledge sources to get started.

You can rate any suggested response with a thumbs up or thumbs down directly in the composer. You can also leave an optional comment explaining why the suggestion was or wasn't helpful. This feedback is used to improve future suggestions.
