    Who this is for

    SaaS, e-commerce, and service businesses with 100+ tickets/week
    Teams where founders are still in the support inbox
    Anyone on Intercom, Zendesk, Help Scout, or Front

    The problem

    Support volume scales with growth, but headcount can't (and shouldn't). Most teams either drown, burn out, or send underwhelming canned replies that feel robotic. There's a smarter middle: AI does the first draft, humans keep the empathy.

    How we solve it

    We turn your product docs, past tickets, and Slack institutional knowledge into a private support brain. AI drafts every reply, your team reviews and personalizes. Complex tickets escalate cleanly with full context attached. Founders get out of the inbox.

    / 01 /

    Build the knowledge base

    Product docs + 6 months of past tickets + internal Slack threads get indexed into a private, support-aware AI.

    / 02 /

    Auto-categorize + prioritize

    Every new ticket is tagged (billing, bug, how-to, churn risk), routed to the right queue, and given a priority score.

    / 03 /

    AI drafts the reply

    Draft appears inside Intercom/Zendesk with a one-click 'send as-is' or 'edit and send'. Agents work in their existing UI.

    Escalation with context

    When a ticket is truly complex, AI summarizes the full thread + customer history before handing to a human. No 'wait, what's this about?' moments.

    / 05 /

    Continuous learning loop

    Every edit a human makes to a draft is fed back. The system gets noticeably better month over month.

    Common questions

    Will customers know it's AI?+

    We design replies to feel human because a human reviews and sends them. Full-bot replies for the simplest FAQs can be turned on separately, with clear disclosure.

    What if AI gets a refund or policy question wrong?+

    Anything financial or policy-sensitive routes to a human queue automatically. AI never auto-sends those.

    Can it handle non-English support?+

    Yes multilingual support is one of the strongest use cases. We commonly set up English + 2–3 other languages out of the gate.
