AI for IT & Help Desk: Core

IT and help desk staff learn to resolve tickets, write scripts, and document systems faster with AI. The course covers ticket triage and resolution, scripting and automation, runbooks and docs, and troubleshooting - with security cautions throughout. They leave clearing queues faster and documenting as they go.

What this course covers

The course runs across 9 topics, each one a short adaptive session rather than a recorded lecture. The tutor explains the idea, works an example, checks understanding, and adjusts the next step to the answer given.

  • Introduction to AI in IT Support & Security Cautions — Understand the role of generative AI in help desk workflows, including critical security and privacy guardrails regarding PII, intellectual property, and system credentials.
  • AI-Powered Ticket Triage and Categorization — Learn to use AI to analyze incoming tickets, extract key metadata, prioritize urgency, and route issues to the correct queues automatically.
  • Drafting Ticket Resolutions and Customer Communications — Practice prompting AI to draft clear, empathetic, and technically accurate responses to users based on ticket logs and diagnostic data.
  • Generating and Debugging IT Administration Scripts — Use AI to write, debug, and translate automation scripts (PowerShell, Bash, Python) for common administrative tasks while validating security risks.
  • Automating Repetitive Tasks and Workflows — Apply AI tools to automate user provisioning, password resets, and system health checks through API integrations and command-line execution.
  • Interactive Troubleshooting and Root Cause Analysis — Leverage AI as an interactive troubleshooting partner to analyze complex system logs, error messages, and network diagnostics.
  • Drafting and Updating Internal Runbooks — Convert raw troubleshooting transcripts and terminal logs into structured, easy-to-follow internal runbooks and knowledge base articles using AI.
  • Creating User-Facing Documentation and FAQs — Translate technical runbooks into accessible, step-by-step self-service documentation and FAQs for non-technical end users.
  • Comprehensive Capstone: Resolving a Multi-Stage Incident — A hands-on, end-to-end simulation requiring you to triage an incident, write an automation script to patch it, and document the resolution using AI.
