AI Agent Desktop Application Installation
The look and functionality of the Windows-based AI Agent Desktop application is identical to the web browser-based client application, providing all available U-Assist features, and also handling the secure communications required to conduct the Agent session.
The application needs to be installed on the Agent's local machine. While this installation can be done on a single machine at any time by a user with the role Account Admin, it will often need to be performed on many machines at once by the customer organization's IT staff.
The current version of the AI Agent Application can be obtained either directly from a Uniphore Support representative, or by downloading it from the X-Console.
To download the latest version from the X-Console, from the Resources menu, select Applications. The Applications page will be displayed.
