Spark

Nexthink Spark is the personal IT agent for every employee. Built on Nexthink’s DEX platform, it combines real-time telemetry, AI-driven diagnostics, and IT-approved end-to-end remediation to resolve issues in seconds - no queues, no handoffs, and no tickets. Organizations cut support cost while boosting productivity.

Nexthink Spark is continually improving. As it evolves, it may occasionally provide information that requires verification. Nexthink recommends confirming your results to ensure accuracy.

Spark capabilities

Spark provides the following capabilities:

  • Agentic AI resolution engine: Understands employee issues expressed in natural language, evaluates DEX data and system context, and executes IT-approved actions to resolve issues autonomously.

  • DEX-powered diagnostics: Uses real-time endpoint, application and experience data from Nexthink Infinity to identify root causes.

  • IT-approved agent automations: Executes out-of-the-box Agent Actions as well as custom actions and multi-step workflows defined by IT.

  • Omnichannel employee interface: Engages employees through supported communication channels as part of the IT self-service workflow.

  • Governance, audit and reasoning: Logs conversations, actions and decisions to provide visibility, tuning and compliance support.
