AI writing assistant for Zendesk agent replies

No — Rewrait works at the operating-system level, over Zendesk rather than inside it. Agents install the Mac or Windows desktop app, and it works in any text field in the agent workspace: public replies, internal notes, the macro editor in Admin Center, and help center articles. There is no marketplace app to install, no admin settings to change in Zendesk, and no Zendesk API token to provision — Rewrait reads only the text an agent selects, at the moment they press Cmd/Ctrl+Shift+P. That has two practical consequences. First, rollout is one installer per agent, not a Zendesk change-management project. Second, the same tool keeps working when agents step outside Zendesk — the follow-up email, the Slack thread with engineering, the help-center rewrite — so your team's voice doesn't stop at the ticket boundary.

Neither — it sits in the gap between them. Zendesk's AI features handle triage, deflection, and summarization inside the platform (agent copilot add-ons run around $50 per agent per month). Macros handle the repeatable answer. Rewrait is the layer for what your agents actually type: the reply that starts from a macro but needs this customer's details, the de-escalation that can't sound canned, the answer that exists in an agent's head but comes out tangled. The stale-macro problem is the clearest case: insert the macro, select it, press the hotkey, and rewrite it to fit the customer's tone and situation — current, specific, still on-voice. Keep Zendesk AI for volume and macros for structure; Rewrait makes the human messages — the ones that decide whether a frustrated customer stays — sound like your best agent wrote them.

With workspace styles on the Team plan. A support lead creates shared styles — say, Support reply, De-escalation, and Tier 2 handoff — and every agent gets them under the same hotkey. Styles can pull from approved company context: connect Notion, Confluence, or Google Docs, whitelist your voice guide and product docs, and rewrites match your terminology instead of generic AI politeness. The workspace owner manages seats and billing centrally; agents just install the app and write. Team is $20 per seat per month billed annually ($25 monthly), with no seat minimum, and includes a no-training guarantee covering workspace text. Every signup starts with a 14-day free trial of Team — no card required — which is enough time to put real styles in front of a pilot group of agents and compare a week of replies before paying anything.

Only the text an agent selects, only when they trigger a rewrite. Rewrait is not a browser extension and does not scrape the page: it has no access to the rest of the ticket, the requester profile, or your Zendesk instance. Selections are processed on demand and never used to train models, and rewrite history is off by default — unless someone opts in, no copy of the text is kept. On the Team plan that is backed by a contractual no-training guarantee for the workspace. Context integrations (Notion, Confluence, Google Docs) use read-only scopes and encrypted tokens, and the workspace owner approves the specific documents used. If your security review currently blocks agents from pasting ticket text into public chatbots — it should — Rewrait is the version of that workflow you can actually approve.
