In the context of Halo, they are numerical representations of Ticket data, generated when passing that data through to the AI model via the indexing process. </p><p>The embedding captures the semantic meaning of the Ticket, and allows Halo to mathematically compare it against other Tickets or Articles in Halo to find semantically similar content. </p><p><br></p><p><strong><span style="font-size: 14pt;">Importance of Embedding Optimisation</span></strong></p><p><span style="font-size: 11pt;">Embeddings are leveraged by the majority of AI functionality in Halo. If the content that is fed through to the AI model is poor quality, or contains low signal wording, the resulting embedding that is outputted by the model will also be of poor quality. This results in the dependent functionality being less reliable. It is therefore important to ensure that the content being fed through to generate the embeddings is optimal and will result in high quality vector embeddings. </span></p><p><br></p><p><span style="font-size: 11pt;">This guide will outline the process by which you can optimise the embeddings for new Tickets coming into the system, as well as for historical Tickets if you wish to also optimise previous embeddings. It is advisable to optimise both new embeddings and historical, as this provides a store of consistently high quality embeddings which Halo can reference. </span></p><p><br></p><p><span style="font-size: 11pt;">The optimisation happens using an AI Ability to prompt AI to generate a compact summary of the Ticket content that contains high signal words; this helps the AI model to better understand the semantic meaning of the Ticket. This field is then fed to the model, instead of all Ticket content, to produce the embedding, reducing the token usage and improving the quality of the embedding returned.</span></p><p><br></p><p>The processes outlined in this guide includes the use of both AI Abilities and Runbooks, and so this guide assumes a basic understanding of both. For more information on either AI Abilities or Runbooks, please do refer to their relevant guides linked in the Related Guides section above.</p><p><br></p><p><strong><span style="font-size: 14pt;">Embedding Field</span></strong></p><p>When configuring how embeddings are created for Tickets in Halo, you can choose which Ticket data is sent to your AI model to produce the embedding. This is done using the "AI Embedding Field". </p><p><img src="https://halo.haloservicedesk.com/api/attachment/image?token=eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiIsInR5cCI6IkpXVCJ9.eyJpZCI6ImEyZTM5YzRjLWNlMTUtNDg4MS1iN2YwLTAxODFhOTMzNmMwZiJ9.fbRisgvTmEmEm4oLXklyltfLQhGQe364GWMVw_KN5TA" class="fr-fic fr-fil fr-dib" width="865" style="width: 867px; height: 373.567px;" height="374"></p><p><strong><span style="font-size: 10pt;">Fig 1. AI Embedding Field</span></strong></p><p><br></p><p>Only the data in the field chosen here will be used to create an embedding, therefore the quality of your embeddings is highly dependent on the data in this field. </p><p><br></p><p>Choosing the AI Insights Field here will give you the greatest level of customisation, and therefore control, over the data that is used to create an embedding. However, choosing other fields will involve less initial setup. </p><p><br></p><p><strong>Details -</strong> Only information in the "Details" field on a <span style="font-size: 11pt;" data-pasted="true">Ticket </span>will be used to create an embedding for that ticket. Results will vary based on the content you have in this field when the <span style="font-size: 11pt;" data-pasted="true">Ticket </span>is closed.</p><p><strong>AI Generated Summary - </strong>Only the AI Generated Summary for the <span style="font-size: 11pt;" data-pasted="true">Ticket </span>will be used to create an embedding for that <span style="font-size: 11pt;" data-pasted="true">Ticket</span>. As the AI summary is intended to be a concise summary of the ticket, this field will contain the least amount of information about/context on the <span style="font-size: 11pt;" data-pasted="true">Ticket</span>, therefore generally yields poorer embedding results. </p><p><strong>AI Insights Field -</strong> Information in the AI Insights Field will be used to create an embedding for a <span style="font-size: 11pt;" data-pasted="true">Ticket</span>. The AI Insights Field itself can be customised to determine the data it contains. Having the AI Insights field populated with custom data using $-variables allows you to completely customise the information stored here. Provided you use $-variables that adequately encapsulate the context and activity on the <span style="font-size: 11pt;" data-pasted="true">Ticket</span>, this can provide the greatest quality embeddings. </p><p><br></p><p>In this guide we will outline how to optimise embeddings using a method which populates the AI Insights field with high signal wording and context, so this data can be used to generate a high quality embedding for the <span style="font-size: 11pt;" data-pasted="true">Ticket</span>. </p><p><br></p><p><br></p><p><strong><span style="font-size: 14pt;">Optimising Embeddings</span></strong></p><p><strong><span style="font-size: 12pt;">AI Ability</span></strong></p><p><span style="font-size: 11pt;">The first point of configuration for embedding optimisation is to create the <a href="https://www.usehalo.com/guides/2776" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">AI Ability</a>.</span></p><p><br></p><p><span style="font-size: 11pt;">The AI Ability will provide the AI model with information about a Ticket and instruct it on how to interpret this data so the AI model can output a structured optimised summary of the Ticket.

The AI then interprets this information and provides an optimised Ticket summary.</p><p>- The response (optimised summary) is then posted into a custom field against the Ticket that triggered the runbook. </p><p>- The Ticket is re-indexed, using the optimised summary to generate embeddings rather than raw Ticket data. </p><p><br></p><p><strong><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Runbook - Optimize Embeddings for Historical Tickets</span></strong></p><p data-pasted="true">Once the AI Ability and custom field have been fully configured, you will need to create the runbook that will trigger the Ability and re-index historical Tickets. </p><p><br></p><p data-pasted="true">The runbook adds a standardised summary to older Tickets that were closed/imported before automatic summarisation was enabled.
