AscendCore is the AI orchestration layer that eliminates Tier-1 ticket backlogs. Instant, automated resolution for password resets, MFA lockouts, and provisioning — with human oversight baked in.
My MFA app stopped working this morning. I can't log in to anything. 😩
Got it, Sarah — I've identified an Okta MFA reset is needed. Staging the fix now for IT approval.

Highly-compensated L2/L3 engineers spend 40% of their week on tickets that a deterministic runbook could resolve in under 60 seconds. See the contrast.
1 of 5 scenarios
Every ticket flows through the same three-stage loop — from natural language to verified fix in under a minute.
Meet employees where they work.
AscendCore listens natively in Slack and Microsoft Teams. Employees describe their issue in plain English — no forms, no ticket portals, no waiting on hold. Our ingestion service normalizes every message into a structured TicketIntent payload and extracts critical entities: User ID, device name, affected system, and urgency.

LLMs don't run code. Our runbooks do.
Once intent is classified, the AI hands off to a strictly-typed YAML playbook. No language model ever touches your production infrastructure. Every runbook undergoes a Simulate → Validate → Execute cycle with built-in rollbacks and idempotency — so retries are always safe.
How the handoff works
The LLM's sole job is classification: it receives a sanitized natural-language payload and outputs a structured TicketIntent JSON object containing an intent label, confidence score, and extracted entities — nothing more. That JSON is matched against an immutable, version-controlled runbook registry, selecting a pre-approved YAML playbook identified by a cryptographic fingerprint. The YAML execution engine then calls production APIs using scoped, least-privilege service account credentials — the LLM is fully air-gapped from this layer and has zero ability to influence the execution path.
Observe. Confirm. Autopilot.
AscendCore offers three operating modes. Start in Observe — the AI suggests fixes but takes no action. Graduate to Human-in-the-Loop— one-click approval before every execution. When you're confident, enable Autopilot for your lowest-risk ticket classes. Every action writes an immutable audit log back to your ITSM.
AscendCore ships with a pre-built library of enterprise-grade runbooks covering the highest-volume L1 ticket categories. Go live in 48 hours.
AscendCore was designed from day one for the CISO and the CIO, not just the help desk manager. Every architectural decision prioritizes auditability, isolation, and least-privilege access.
Your data never touches a shared infrastructure layer. Every customer receives a dedicated, encrypted vault for credentials and runbook secrets.
Every integration is scoped to exactly the permissions required to run its approved playbooks — nothing more. Credentials rotate automatically.
Every runbook runs a dry-pass simulation before touching production. Built-in idempotency and rollback ensure zero unintended side effects.
Every action, approval, and execution is written back to your ITSM as an immutable audit record — ready for compliance reviews and SOC-2 audits.
We are on a structured path to SOC-2 Type II certification. Security controls, data retention policies, and incident response plans are live today.
Admin, Operator, and Read-Only roles enforced at the API layer. OIDC SSO via Okta or Entra ID. Privileged actions require MFA re-confirmation.

Modeled on 30% L1 deflection · 15 min avg. resolution · $85/hr blended IT labor cost
AscendCore is designed to slot directly into your managed services practice — automating the L1 queue your engineers are drowning in, without touching a single thing in your clients' existing ITSM stack.
Your biggest cost center is the engineer answering the same 12 tickets on repeat. AscendCore auto-resolves 70–80% of your L1 queue autonomously — you keep the managed services contract revenue, you just stop paying engineers to deliver it.
70–80% L1 deflection rateYour clients are already on Jira, ServiceNow, Zendesk, Okta, or Entra. AscendCore layers on top via pre-built connectors — no migrations, no retraining, no change management. Deployed in 48 hours, not 6 months.
