RESOLVE / AI IT HELPDESK IN MICROSOFT TEAMS
The tickets aren't hard. They're just relentless.
Password resets. VPN drop-outs. "How do I share this?" The printer, again. None of it is a crisis, so nobody adds it up. But every one of those questions stops an employee working while they wait, and burns an IT person's paid time to answer. Resolve handles the repetitive tier-one questions inside the Microsoft Teams your staff already use, instantly, grounded in your own documentation, and routes anything it cannot answer to your own IT contact, with the full context attached.
Not sure? It goes to your nominated person. Never to us.
Free, no obligation. We look at the questions your team actually asks most and show you honestly how many Resolve would handle on its own, and which ones still belong with a person. The findings are yours to keep, whichever way you decide.

THE HIDDEN DRAG
The drag nobody puts on the balance sheet
Most IT tickets are not difficult, they are repetitive: the password, the VPN, the printer, the same three how-do-I questions every week. Each one costs twice. Your employee downs tools and waits, sometimes minutes, sometimes hours, while a small thing blocks a real job, and meanwhile someone on IT stops what they were paid to do and answers it for the hundredth time. It never looks like a problem because it never looks like a crisis. It just grinds away, all day, on both sides of the desk, and by the end of the month it adds up to real people-hours you never see and never get back. Now picture next Monday: the same questions arrive, nobody downs tools, and your IT people get their morning back for the work that actually needs a human. That is what Resolve is for.

HOW IT WORKS
Three steps, and we do all of them
STEP 01
We learn your world
DeskCrew.ai builds Resolve's knowledge from your own documentation, systems and the questions your team already asks, then configures it in Microsoft Copilot Studio inside your own Microsoft 365 tenant. It answers from what is true for your business, not a generic guess off the open internet. Typically live in about two weeks.
STEP 02
Your team just asks, in Teams
No new app, no portal, no login to remember. Someone types their question in the Teams they already have open and gets a clear, accurate answer in seconds, at 9am or 9pm. The moment of being stuck is over almost before it starts, and most routine tickets never reach a person at all.
STEP 03
Your own person handles the rest
When Resolve is not confident, it does not improvise. It hands the question to your own nominated person, your existing IT contact or office manager, with the full conversation and context attached, so they pick up exactly where it left off and nobody has to repeat themselves. We keep Resolve tuned and report on it every month, so it handles more over time. We build and sharpen Resolve; we do not run your helpdesk.
WHAT YOU GET
Everything, done for you
- A private AI IT helpdesk inside your staff's existing Microsoft Teams, built on Microsoft Copilot Studio in your own Microsoft 365 tenant
- A knowledge base built from your own documentation and systems, so answers reflect how your business really works
- Instant self-service on the repetitive tier-one questions, day or night: passwords, VPN, sharing, the printer and the rest, before they become tickets
- A clean handover to your own nominated person for anything Resolve is not sure about, with the full context attached
- Full setup by DeskCrew.ai: knowledge base build, Copilot Studio configuration and Teams rollout, live in about two weeks
- Ongoing curation by us and a plain monthly report showing what Resolve handled, what it passed on, and where the time was saved
IS IT FOR YOU
A great fit if you
- You run on Microsoft 365 and Teams and your staff already live in Teams all day
- Your IT gets the same tier-one questions on repeat: passwords, VPN, sharing files, printers, access
- You have someone who currently fields IT questions and want the repetitive load taken off them
- You want the AI to hand off cleanly to your own person, not guess
- You would rather a trusted UK partner set it up and run it than build something in-house
Probably not for you if
- Teams that are not on Microsoft Teams or Microsoft 365, there is nowhere for Resolve to live
- All-bespoke IT that rarely repeats the same question twice, where there is little for self-service to catch
- Anyone wanting a bot with no human fallback at all, because Resolve is built to hand the hard ones to your own person rather than guess
- Anyone after a one-off build to walk away from, Resolve is curated and run, not fitted and forgotten
SIMPLE PRICING
One flat price, sized to your business
You already pay for tier-one questions today, in lost hours on both sides of the desk. Resolve swaps that for one flat monthly fee banded by headcount, plus a one-off setup. Two ways to pay: Flex monthly at our published rolling rate, or the 12-Month Plan, billed monthly, with half your setup waived and your price locked. Every plan includes a published number of conversations and a published rate above it, so nothing arrives unannounced.

12-Month Plan standard · scoped and agreed up front
All prices exclude VAT. On Flex, Resolve is rolling monthly with no minimum term and thirty days' notice to cancel. Setup is invoiced 50% on order and 50% on go-live, because that is when the build work happens, and your monthly fee starts at go-live, never before. Prices reviewable with thirty days' notice. On the 12-Month Plan, half the setup is waived: you pay the order half and the go-live half is on us. Your monthly fee, your included conversations and your overage rate are fixed for the full twelve months, and at month twelve it rolls onto monthly at the same rate. We never auto-lock you into another year. Your band is set by headcount at signing. If you cross your band ceiling we move you up at renewal, not mid-term, and there is no second setup fee. Escalation always routes to your own nominated person, never to us: we build, tune and report on Resolve, we do not run your helpdesk.
Add-ons
- Tenant-wide (Microsoft Graph) groundingOn request
- Off by default. It answers over content across your tenant rather than the documentation we curate, and it costs Microsoft roughly two and a half times more per question. If you want it on, conversations on a graph-grounded agent count as two against your included conversations.
- Knowledge authoring£595 per day
- Where the documentation needs writing rather than tidying. Quoted at scoping, never a surprise. Our setup fee assumes we are working from documentation you already have.
What you are charged for
Resolve runs on Microsoft Copilot Studio inside your own Microsoft 365 tenant. The Copilot Studio consumption Resolve generates inside your included conversations is metered and paid by us and does not appear on your Microsoft bill. A conversation is one person's question and everything Resolve says back to answer it. Follow-ups on the same thread within thirty minutes count as one conversation. A question Resolve cannot answer, and hands to your nominated person, still counts as one. A conversation where nobody replies to Resolve's opening message is not counted at all. We alert you at 80 per cent and again at 100 per cent of your included conversations, with a projected month-end figure, so an overage is something you see coming rather than something you find on an invoice. If you exceed your allowance for three consecutive months we will talk to you about moving band rather than let overage keep running. If your organisation already holds Microsoft 365 Copilot licences, those users' Resolve conversations consume no Copilot Studio capacity at all, and we will tell you that at scoping rather than after you have signed. Copilot Studio capacity is pooled across your whole tenant, so if other agents in your tenant exhaust it Microsoft can suspend custom agents including Resolve. If that happens we will tell you the same day and it does not count against your availability.
Why the setup fee is what it is
Resolve setup costs more than our AI Call Agents setup because it is a different job. A Call Agent is built on our own platform and pointed at your number, and it is a day or two of work. Resolve is built inside your own Microsoft 365 tenant, so setup includes agent registration, Teams app publishing, admin consent, a data protection review with your IT people, and a knowledge base drawn from your whole IT estate rather than one call script. Our setup fees are the build days at UK contract market rate and nothing more, from four and a half days on Starter, rising with the size of the estate. That is also why we halve it on a twelve-month commitment rather than waive it the way we do on Call Agents.
All prices exclude VAT. On Flex, Resolve is rolling monthly with no minimum term and thirty days' notice to cancel. Setup is invoiced 50% on order and 50% on go-live, because that is when the build work happens, and your monthly fee starts at go-live, never before. Prices reviewable with thirty days' notice. On the 12-Month Plan, half the setup is waived: you pay the order half and the go-live half is on us. Your monthly fee, your included conversations and your overage rate are fixed for the full twelve months, and at month twelve it rolls onto monthly at the same rate. We never auto-lock you into another year. Your band is set by headcount at signing. If you cross your band ceiling we move you up at renewal, not mid-term, and there is no second setup fee. Escalation always routes to your own nominated person, never to us: we build, tune and report on Resolve, we do not run your helpdesk.
STRAIGHT ANSWERS
The questions IT managers actually ask
How is this different from just using ChatGPT?
Three ways that matter. Resolve answers from your own documentation and systems, not the open internet, so it knows your policies, your tools and your printers, not a generic guess. It runs inside your own Microsoft 365 tenant on Microsoft Copilot Studio, so your data stays yours. And when it is unsure it hands off to your own person rather than inventing an answer. It is managed and improved every month, not a chatbot your staff have to fact-check. That is the difference between a clever stranger and a colleague who knows how your company actually works.
What happens when it doesn't know the answer?
It hands off, it does not guess. If Resolve is not confident, the question passes cleanly to your own nominated person, your existing IT contact or office manager, with the full context already attached, so they pick up exactly where it left off. Your team always gets a right answer or a real person, never a confident wrong one. We build and keep Resolve sharp; we take the repetitive load off your own support, we do not replace it.
How accurate is it really? I don't want it inventing IT advice.
That instinct is right: a confidently wrong answer is worse than no answer, and Resolve is built around that rule. It only answers from the knowledge base we build with you, grounded in your own systems and documentation, not the wider internet. When it is sure, it answers. When it is not, it hands over to a human. We curate that knowledge and review what it has been asked every month, so accuracy improves over time rather than drifting, and your monthly report shows exactly where it is helping.
Isn't setting this up a big project for us?
No. DeskCrew.ai does the work. We build the knowledge base from your existing documentation, configure Copilot Studio and roll it out across Teams for you. It is typically live in about two weeks, and after that it runs quietly in the background with us curating it. Your team's only job is to ask Resolve the questions they would have sent to IT anyway, and the free helpdesk review tells you what to expect before you commit to anything.
How much does it cost?
One flat monthly fee banded by headcount, plus a one-off setup, so there is no per-head maths and no surprise bill. There are two ways to pay. On the 12-Month Plan, billed monthly, it is £299 a month for up to 50 staff and £799 for 51 to 150, with half the setup waived (£1,250 or £2,250). On Flex, rolling monthly with no minimum term, it is £349 and £899, with setup at £2,500 or £4,500. For 151 or more staff, or across more than one tenant, it is custom, scoped to your estate. Setup covers the knowledge base build, Copilot Studio configuration inside your own Microsoft 365 tenant, the Teams rollout and the data protection review. Every plan includes a published number of conversations each month and a published rate above it, and we alert you at 80 and 100 per cent so an overage is something you see coming. To judge the value, run your own numbers: count the tier-one questions your team raises in a week, put a realistic number of lost minutes on each side of every one, and price those hours against the fee. That is exactly the arithmetic the free helpdesk review walks through on your figures, before you spend a pound.
Why a flat price instead of per user? We might grow.
That is exactly why it is flat. Our work is the same whether 30 or 60 of your people use it, so charging per head would just penalise you for growing. A flat fee banded by size means the price only steps up in coarse bands, and your effective cost per person falls as your team grows. Two things make that promise concrete. Your band is set by headcount at signing, and if you cross a band ceiling we move you up at renewal rather than mid-term, so your bill never changes underneath you and there is never a second setup fee. And because each band also carries a published conversation allowance, a team that grows a little has room to grow into rather than a cliff to fall off.
Do we need to be on Microsoft 365 and Teams?
Yes. Resolve lives inside the Teams your staff already use and is built on Microsoft Copilot Studio inside your own Microsoft 365 tenant, which is exactly what keeps it private, grounded and yours. If your staff already work in Teams every day, that is exactly where it belongs. If you are not on Microsoft 365 and Teams, this is not the right fit, and we will tell you so on the call rather than sell you something that will not land.
