What your support team gets back

01

Fewer repetitive questions

Order status, account and plan questions are answered in the customer’s own channel, day and night, so your team stops answering the same questions all day.

02

Every request reaches the right person

Requests are sorted the moment they arrive. Billing, developers, the warehouse or sales each receive only what is theirs, with the details already gathered.

03

Decisions stay with your people

Refunds, replacements and exceptions follow your rules and limits. Anything above them waits for an employee to approve.

04

A clear view of your support

Managers see volumes, response times and what the agent handled, team by team, so they can plan staffing and spot problems early.

What it looks like in practice

A support employee asks one question. The agent looks up the order and the customer, prepares a replacement and a refund, and waits for approval. The employee checks it and approves with one click.

How six companies use the Customer Desk AI Agent

Each one in short: the problem, the results, and how the agent handles the work.

Support engineers see an account’s full picture in 3 minutes, not 40

To look into one account, a support engineer checked the account's plan and users, asked the data team for a usage query or ran it themselves, searched the error logs, read the latest GitHub releases and looked for known issues in Notion.

Customer Desk AI Agent: questions from business leaders

How quickly will we see results?

Your team tests the agent on real requests within the first weeks. Most companies see the share of routine requests it answers, and the time saved, during the first month after going live.

What does it cost?

It depends on your request volume, the systems it connects to and where it runs. After a first conversation you get a written proposal with the price, so you can compare it with what the work costs you today.

Will it replace our support staff?

It takes over the repetitive part of the work, so the same team can handle more requests and spend its time on the customers who need a person. Decisions, exceptions and sensitive conversations stay with your people.

What if it gives a wrong answer?

It answers only from your own systems and documents, follows the limits you set, and passes anything it is unsure about to a person. Every answer and action is recorded, so you can review and correct it.

Can we control what it says and does?

Yes. You decide which questions it answers alone, which actions it may take and up to what amount, and how it should sound. You can pause it at any time.

Is our customer data safe?

It can run on your own servers, where every conversation and customer record stays inside your company and we have no access to it. Your data is never used to train AI models.

Do we have to change our help desk or tools?

No. It works with Zendesk, Intercom, Salesforce, Microsoft Teams, Slack and the other tools your team already uses.

Which channels can customers use?

Chat, email, messaging apps such as WhatsApp, Messenger and Telegram, and text messages. The agent works in writing only.

What do you need from our team?

One person who knows how support works today, access to test versions of the systems involved, and a few hours a week from the team while we test.

Can we start small?

Yes. Most companies start with one channel or one team, see the results, and then extend the agent to the rest of support.
