Email and chat support agent

AI email and chat support for small businesses

An AI agent answers routine customer emails and chats from your help docs and order data, then hands anything unusual to your team with notes.

01 today

The problem

Most of the inbox is the same handful of questions: where is my order, how do I reset my password, can I change my booking. Your support people answer them one at a time, so the customers with real problems wait behind them. Evenings and weekends pile up until Monday.

02 the run

What the AI does

  1. Step 1: Reads each new email or chat message and works out what the customer is asking for.
  2. Step 2: Looks up the answer in your help center, policies and past replies, and checks live details such as order status in Shopify or a subscription in Stripe.
  3. Step 3: Replies in your tone of voice when the answer is clear and inside the rules you set.
  4. Step 4: Asks a short follow-up question when the message is vague, instead of guessing.
  5. Step 5: Hands the conversation to a person in Zendesk or Intercom with a summary, the customer's history and a suggested reply when it is unsure or the topic is sensitive.

Where a person approves

Your support lead decides which topics the agent may answer on its own. Refunds, complaints, legal questions and anything outside those topics always go to a person before a reply is sent.

What changes

Simple questions get answered within minutes, day or night. Your team spends its time on the conversations that need judgement, and every hand-off arrives with the context already gathered.
