AI customer support that deflects — and knows when to hand off
Support AI isn’t a widget. It’s retrieval over trusted content, clear escalation, and deflection metrics your support lead believes.
Who it’s for: For support and product teams drowning in tier-1 tickets with decent docs that customers don’t read.
We won’t take this if: docs are nonexistent, or you want the bot to invent refund policy on the fly.
