Enabling a Support Service to Provide Automated Problem Resolution Based on Real Time Chat Analytics

An embodiment of the invention directed to a method for resolving a problem detected in a data processing machine includes establishing a chat link between a machine user and a support service agent, for enabling a conversation therebetween. One or more initial messages sent from the user to the agent over the link is analyzed, to generate a goal associated with the detected problem. The goal is applied as an input to an AI planning component, which is operated in response to the goal to produce an initial set of actions for achieving the goal. Messages sent from the user to the agent subsequent to the initial messages are analyzed, and responsive to such analysis, the initial set of actions is selectively changed to an updated set of actions, for use in achieving the goal.
