Customer Service Support

Use AI to handle common inquiries, draft responses, and support your customer service team.

Common Applications

FAQ Chatbots

AI-powered chat widget answers common questions 24/7. Reduces ticket volume by 30-50%.

Email Response Drafts

AI reads customer email, suggests response. Team reviews, personalizes, sends. Cuts response time in half.

Ticket Categorization

AI reads incoming support requests and auto-categorizes by urgency and topic. Proper routing, faster resolution.

Knowledge Base Creation

AI analyzes common questions and generates FAQ articles, help docs, video scripts.

Sentiment Analysis

AI flags frustrated or angry customer messages for immediate attention. Prevents escalations.

Follow-Up Automation

AI drafts check-in messages: "Did our solution work?" "Need anything else?" Maintains engagement.

How It Works

1. Train AI on Your FAQs

We feed AI your existing help docs, common questions, and brand voice guidelines. It learns your typical responses.

The more context you provide, the better AI's suggestions become.

2. AI Handles Routine Inquiries

Simple questions (hours, pricing, policies) get answered instantly by chatbot. Complex issues get routed to humans with AI-drafted response.

Example: "What are your hours?" → AI answers immediately. "I have a billing issue" → Routes to human with context summary.

3. Team Reviews AI Drafts

For complex inquiries, AI provides a draft response. Your team edits for accuracy and adds personal touch before sending.

AI doesn't replace humans - it makes them faster and more consistent.

4. Continuous Learning

As your team corrects AI responses, the system improves. Over time, drafts need less editing.

First month: 40% of draft needs revision. After 3 months: 10% needs revision.

Safety & Quality Considerations

Customer service AI requires careful implementation:

  • Always allow human escalation. Customers should easily reach a real person if AI can't help.
  • Don't let AI make promises. Refunds, policy exceptions, custom solutions need human approval.
  • Train AI on brand voice. Robotic or overly formal responses damage brand perception.
  • Monitor AI accuracy weekly. Check flagged conversations to catch errors before customers complain.
  • Never expose customer data. If using public AI tools for drafting, anonymize all personal information.
