Virtual assistant overview
Use the virtual assistant from any page to troubleshoot PC issues such as slow performance and hardware issues or chat
with a Dell technical support agent. To troubleshoot an issue, the virtual assistant may prompt you to update your drivers, run
optimizations, or create a support request, if necessary.
Using the keywords or phrases you enter in the chat, the virtual assistant understands your intent and provides links to
knowledge base articles, video tutorials, or provides troubleshooting instructions. If it is unable to understand your intent, it
displays various categories of issues that may occur on your PC. When you select an issue category, the associated resolution
or troubleshooting links are displayed. If the issue is not understood or resolved, you are redirected to a Dell technical support
agent.
You can view the past chat transcripts, details of actions that were performed, and check the support request status on the
History page.
