Zendesk Guide is a smart knowledge base that helps tap into that institutional knowledge and puts it to work. With Guide, you can quickly build a customizable help center, online community, and customer service portal so customers get better self-service and agents see improved efficiency and faster resolution.

Zendesk Guide is more than just a collection of articles. It’s a solution that helps you capture and leverage your team’s know-how. It works natively (seamless integration) with Zendesk Support to deliver better self-service for customers and improve agent efficiency. 

Zendesk Support works with Guide to make your self-service knowledge base smarter. When customers use self-service, Guide tracks that activity and sends it to Support in the form of contextual insights that help agents analyze customer activity and solve tickets faster. This info is fed back into Guide, which continuously improves and refines the info it offers to both agents and customers.
