AI agents & automation

AI agents for customer service

Resolve the repetitive majority automatically, escalate the rest with full context attached — and stop making customers repeat themselves.

What can an AI customer service agent handle?

An AI customer service agent handles the repetitive majority of tickets — order status, account changes, policy questions, password issues — by reading the request, checking your systems and acting. Complex or sensitive cases are escalated to a human with the history and diagnosis already attached.

Resolution, not deflection

The previous generation of support bots optimised for deflection: keep the customer away from a human at any cost. Customers learned to type 'agent' immediately, and satisfaction fell. An agent that can actually read the order, apply the refund policy and process the change is a different product — it resolves rather than stalls.

The design principle we hold to is that escalation must be fast, obvious and lossless. If a customer asks for a human, they get one, and that human sees everything already said.

Frequently asked

Questions we get about this

What resolution rate is realistic?

It depends entirely on how repetitive your ticket mix is. Businesses with a concentrated set of common questions see a large share handled end to end; those with highly bespoke enquiries see much less. We analyse your actual ticket history before quoting a number, rather than repeating an industry average that may not apply to you.

How do we stop it giving wrong policy answers?

The agent answers only from your grounded documentation, cites the source, and refuses when the answer is not there. Refusal routes to a human. An agent that says 'I do not know' is far cheaper than one that invents a refund policy.
