This extremely useful AI agent is designed for those situations where someone writes to you, but you still need to ask a few questions before a manager can assist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The concept is simple: the Interviewer chats with clients or partners, asks the necessary questions, and then enters the answers exactly where they belong in Planfix. This completely eliminates confusion about where to copy a phone number.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"aioseo-how-the-ai-customer-service-agent-conducts-interviews\">How the AI Customer Service Agent Conducts Interviews<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Imagine someone <a href=\"https:\/\/planfix.com\/features\/contacts\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">contacts<\/a> you on Instagram, WhatsApp, email, or wherever. Planfix can automatically turn that message into a task or request. The moment the message comes in, the AI Interviewer activates, says hi, and starts asking the questions you\u2019ve set up beforehand.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/planfix.com\/blog\/wp-content\/themes\/breek\/assets\/images\/transparent.gif\" data-lazy=\"true\" data-src=\"https:\/\/s.pfx.so\/pf\/5v\/Ic3Pye.png\" alt=\"AI Agent Asks the Customer Pre-set Questions\" title=\"AI Agent Asks the Customer Pre-set Questions | Planfix\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>From the client\u2019s perspective, it\u2019s just a normal chat in the messenger they chose. Planfix doesn\u2019t present any strange bot windows or ask them to switch to another app.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once the Interviewer collects all the answers, it automatically fills in the fields in the task or contact card (1). If you tell it to, it will even bring in a human manager to continue the conversation (2).<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/planfix.com\/blog\/wp-content\/themes\/breek\/assets\/images\/transparent.gif\" data-lazy=\"true\" data-src=\"https:\/\/s.pfx.so\/pf\/lm\/KkUlTK.png\" alt=\"AI Agent Filled In The Contact Fields And Connected The Manager To The Task\" title=\"AI Agent Filled In The Contact Fields And Connected The Manager To The Task | Planfix\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>Even more convenient is the fact that a manager can summon the Interviewer at any time, not just at the beginning. For example, suppose the manager is already chatting and realizes they need to record the client\u2019s details or clarify the service. All they need to do is add the agent to the task, and the mini-interview runs automatically.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/planfix.com\/blog\/wp-content\/themes\/breek\/assets\/images\/transparent.gif\" data-lazy=\"true\" data-src=\"https:\/\/s.pfx.so\/pf\/7y\/Y4GS53.png\" alt=\"Connecting an AI agent to a Task Manually\" title=\"Connecting an AI agent to a Task Manually | Planfix\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>While the AI handles the routine questions, the manager isn\u2019t left waiting. They\u2019re now free to move on to the next chat or focus on <a href=\"https:\/\/planfix.com\/features\/tasks\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">tasks<\/a> that actually require a human.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"aioseo-what-if-the-automated-interview-needs-human-backup\">What if the Automated Interview Needs Human Backup?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Even the smartest interview can go sideways. A client may go silent, start typing random things, or simply say, \u201cI\u2019m not providing that information.\u201d Rather than devolve into an annoying bot that keeps repeating the same question, it quietly pulls a human into the conversation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This way, the dialogue isn\u2019t lost, the client doesn\u2019t get irritated, and they see there\u2019s a real team behind the process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"aioseo-set-up-ai-agent-interviewer-for-crm-data-automation\">Set Up AI Agent Interviewer for CRM Data Automation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Setting up the Interviewer into your <a href=\"https:\/\/planfix.com\/crm\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">CRM<\/a> workflows is quick and easy.&nbsp; The primary thing you need to decide is what you want the agent to ask.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here\u2019s how you do it.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>First, go to Employees and select a bot (or create one). Next, enable the AI agent, and choose \u201cInterviewer\u201d as the type. Then, tell Planfix where to store the answers the agent collects.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/planfix.com\/blog\/wp-content\/themes\/breek\/assets\/images\/transparent.gif\" data-lazy=\"true\" data-src=\"https:\/\/s.pfx.so\/pf\/cY\/ARwSQb.png\" alt=\"How to Create an AI Agent in Planfix\" title=\"How to Create an AI Agent | Planfix\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>Now you want to specify which fields it should fill.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/planfix.com\/blog\/wp-content\/themes\/breek\/assets\/images\/transparent.gif\" data-lazy=\"true\" data-src=\"https:\/\/s.pfx.so\/pf\/5x\/3tKjbZ.png \" alt=\"Specifies the Fields that the AI Agent Must Fill In\" title=\"Specifies the Fields that the AI Agent Must Fill In | Planfix\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>You can also fine-tune the behavior to your needs. For instance, you might specify:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Who to send <a href=\"https:\/\/planfix.com\/features\/notifications\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">notification<\/a> after the interview. Maybe you want to add the sales rep to the task as soon as the agent finishes, or set a timeout: \u201cIf the client doesn\u2019t reply for N minutes, invite a manager.\u201d<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>What the agent says. You can set the greeting, the message for successful completion, and the message for failure. This way, the dialog remains neat and consistent.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/planfix.com\/blog\/wp-content\/themes\/breek\/assets\/images\/transparent.gif\" data-lazy=\"true\" data-src=\"https:\/\/s.pfx.so\/pf\/wm\/tiH8FN.png\" alt=\"Configuring AI Agent Phrases for Different Scenarios\" title=\"Configuring AI Agent Phrases for Different Scenarios | Planfix\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>There\u2019s also a convenient field for Additional instructions, where you can specify the agent\u2019s tone, such as:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>\u201cWrite in a formal style,\u201d<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>\u201cBe friendly,\u201d<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>\u201cYou can use emojis,\u201d<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>\u201cKeep it short.\u201d<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>This ensures the Interviewer matches your brand\u2019s voice rather than sounding like just another \u201c generic chatbot.\u201d If your workflow requires the agent to join every client task, simply add this to the Object from which your requests are created, and it will be included by default.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/planfix.com\/blog\/wp-content\/themes\/breek\/assets\/images\/transparent.gif\" data-lazy=\"true\" data-src=\"https:\/\/s.pfx.so\/pf\/S8\/kJzX9A.png\" alt=\"Connecting an AI Agent at the Object Level in Planfix\" title=\"Connecting an AI Agent at the Object Level | Planfix\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"aioseo-benefits-of-customer-onboarding-automation-with-ai\"><strong>Benefits of Customer Onboarding Automation with AI<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The AI Interviewer agent is more than just a new Planfix feature.

It keeps client conversations friendly and structured, relieves employees from having to answer routine questions, and ensures all data ends up in the right place without gaps or typos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With each new AI agent, Planfix moves closer to becoming not just a task manager, but a smart partner that helps you run your processes.

The platform is currently developing a comprehensive ecosystem of smart tools that can read data, automate routine tasks, and provide a clear overview of what\u2019s happening in your business.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Each AI agent has a specific role: some manage conversations, while others handle data or <a href=\"https:\/\/planfix.com\/features\/reports\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">reports<\/a>.&nbsp; But what\u2019s most important is that they work together, not separately. This is what allows teams to react faster, improve service quality, and reduce manual work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Bundled together, the agents represent a powerful business solution.&nbsp; The AI Interviewer asks the client for the needed details, the Dataminer uses those answers to fill the fields, and the Summarizer turns a long comment thread into a clear status update. This creates a dynamic system where information is transformed into actions and results, rather than getting lost in shuffle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can learn more about AI Agents here: <a href=\"https:\/\/planfix.com\/blog\/use-cases\/planfix-ai-agents-automate-tasks-with-ai-in-crm\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">https:\/\/planfix.com\/blog\/use-cases\/planfix-ai-agents-automate-tasks-with-ai-in-crm\/<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We\u2019ve already introduced the Summarizer and the Dataminer, and now it\u2019s the Interviewer\u2019s turn.
