Want to extend ticketing beyond IT?
If HR, Finance, or Operations need their own ticketing workflows, Risotto can handle that natively.
Get features like ticket categorization, auto-deflection and resolution, status tracking, and KB updates without buying more Freshservice licenses.
Wondering if Risotto can replace Freshservice ITSM?
We're not a heavyweight ticketing platform, and we won't pretend to be.
But if your needs are relatively straightforward (multi-channel intake, categorization, triage, resolution, escalation), we can cover the full loop end-to-end.

Risotto AI didn’t answer these (but it could have).

From custom workflows to advanced access policies, our support team helps you get the most out of every integration.

How long does implementation take?

Most teams are live within 3-7 days. Setup includes connecting Risotto to Freshservice, Slack, and your identity provider, configuring access workflows, and training the AI on your knowledge base.

What happens to our existing Freshservice tickets and workflows?

Nothing changes. Risotto creates new tickets in Freshservice for every conversation and syncs all interactions. Your existing workflows, SLAs, and processes continue working normally.

Does Risotto do ticketing end-to-end?

Yes, Risotto logs every IT query as a ticket, categorizes and labels it, resolves it if possible or routes it to the right person, and follows up until it’s closed.

Do we have to replace Freshservice?

No. Risotto integrates with Freshservice via bi-directional sync. You keep using Freshservice exactly as you do today. Risotto just adds an AI automation layer on top.But if your ticketing needs are simple, Risotto can handle all of it.

What if I have Freshservice and a third-party AI assistant already?

Risotto isn’t an AI assistant add-on OR a Freshservice replacement. It’s an autonomous AI agent that plugs into your Freshservice and independently solves and closes tier 1 tickets.Our customers see a 50% boost in IT automation, on average, after getting Risotto. You don’t have to rip out an established system like Freshservice. You can avoid paying for AI add-ons that need IT to step in all the time.
