Help Desk / IT Support (Level 1)

Be the first line of IT support: answer common technical questions, walk users through standard fixes, handle access and account requests within policy, and triage complex issues to human engineers.

What it does

• Answer common IT questions and walk users through fixes.
• Handle password resets and access requests within policy.
• Triage and categorize tickets by type and urgency.
• Guide users through standard troubleshooting steps.
• Document resolutions and update the knowledge base.
• Escalate unresolved or complex issues with diagnostics attached.

What goes in, what comes out

Tools & integrations

ITSM (Jira Service Mgmt, Freshservice, Zendesk), identity tools (Okta, AD), remote-support and KB systems.

Guardrails, built in

Hard limits enforced as code — not suggestions. This is what makes it safe to run.

• Grant access only within role-based policy and approvals.
• Never bypass security controls or share credentials.
• Verify identity before any account change.
• Escalate anything touching security or infrastructure.

When it hands off to a human

It knows the edge of its lane. It escalates — it never guesses — when:

• A suspected security incident or breach.
• Access requests exceed policy or need approval.
• An issue requires admin/infrastructure changes.
• Troubleshooting exceeds standard runbooks.
