Elastic's Support Assistant: An award‑winning solution

"I haven't used real support, not even once, since I've been using the assistant. There is no need to use other AI tools since it has so much deep knowledge about Elastic."

— Scandinavian Government Agency, Elastic customer

"We could have deployed Elasticsearch without the help of Elastic Support, but it probably would have taken three times as long. And time is something you never have enough of in this business."

Kris BandurskiEVP of Engineering, Green Man Gaming
