Service descriptions are critical to defining the scope of work you are delivering. Any form of fixed fees requires a clearly defined scope of work in writing. Taking extra time initially to clearly outline your services will allow for easier management of scope creep later on.
Quickly create professional, compelling service descriptions using AI within Ignition to save time creating or refining your services and put you and your clients on the same page from the start.

How to create AI-enabled service descriptions
To use the AI-enabled service description feature, navigate to the Services → select a service.
🚀 This feature uses the Service Name to generate a description. Adjust the service name field as needed.
Click Suggest description and wait up to 30 seconds for a description to be generated based on the service name.
To refine the AI-generated description, open the Refine dropdown:
Elaborate
Shorten
Simplify
Review the description and click Use to have the description replace the content in the service description. This will remove any existing text in the service description field.
We recommend that you review and edit the description as needed before you, hit Save. Once you’ve saved the service, it will overwrite any existing description for the service.
Security
This feature follows the same level of security as Ignition’s other features. See our Security Statement for more information or reach out to our Support team.
The only data that is provided to the AI is the Service name, Industry and Country - nothing else. This means your data is secure and always has been.
Filter service library for service without a description
Easily identify what services are in need of a description using the filtering in the Service library. To filter, click Filters → Has a description: No.
