Support AI

Support AI is a worker that handles routine customer support — drafting responses grounded in your knowledge base, retrieving answers, triaging and structuring tickets across channels. It improves speed and consistency, while sensitive cases, commitments and anything outside its knowledge are escalated to human agents.

Business responsibilities

  • Drafting responses to routine enquiries from an approved knowledge base.
  • Triaging and structuring incoming tickets.
  • Retrieving answers and relevant history.
  • Preparing case summaries for human agents.

Supported systems and integrations

Subject to integration scope, connected through official APIs with scoped access:

  • Helpdesk and ticketing systems
  • Email, chat and messaging channels
  • Knowledge base
  • CRM or customer records

Actions it can perform

Key takeaways
  • Draft responses to common questions.
  • Triage and route tickets.
  • Retrieve knowledge and prior context.
  • Summarise cases for agents.

Actions requiring human approval

These actions never run automatically — they wait for explicit human approval:

  • Responses on sensitive, complex or high-value cases.
  • Any commitment, refund or exception.
  • Communications where policy is unclear.

What Support AI does not do

Limitations & honest caveats
  • It does not make commitments or exceptions on its own.
  • It does not handle sensitive cases without escalation.
  • It does not invent answers when the knowledge base is silent.

Data and knowledge requirements

  • A maintained, approved knowledge base.
  • Clear escalation rules and policy boundaries.

Monitoring and auditability

  • Audit trail of responses and escalations.
  • Human review for sensitive cases.
  • Tracking of resolution quality and escalation accuracy.

Relevant KPIs

Measured against KPIs defined before deployment — never against invented figures:

  • First-response time
  • Resolution time
  • Escalation accuracy
  • Knowledge-base coverage

Risks and limitations

Limitations & honest caveats
  • Answer quality depends on knowledge-base coverage and accuracy.
  • It escalates rather than guesses on unclear or sensitive cases.
  • Tone on delicate matters should be human-reviewed.
FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Does Support AI reply to customers automatically?
For routine, well-covered questions it can, within configured limits; sensitive, complex or high-value cases are escalated to human agents, and commitments require approval.
What happens when it does not know the answer?
It escalates to a person rather than inventing a response. It only answers from your approved knowledge base.
