The problem this solves
Chat is either staffed by humans answering the same questions on loop, or covered by a legacy rule-based chatbot that frustrates everyone into typing 'agent' three times. Off-hours coverage is zero, which for teams selling across time zones means a visitor with a real question gets a contact form. The knowledge to answer most of these questions already exists; it is just not connected to the channel where people ask.
How we work
The agent is only as good as what it can read, so we start with grounding: auditing your knowledge base and site content against real ticket history, and fixing the gaps that would otherwise become wrong answers. If you have no knowledge base yet, we pair this module with the self-service build rather than deploying an agent with nothing to stand on.
Then configuration: scope (which topics the agent handles, which it refuses), tone, and the handoff paths - when a conversation escalates to a human, it arrives with the full transcript and context, routed by your existing rules. Before go-live we test the agent against a set of real customer questions from past tickets and log every wrong or awkward answer for fixing.
After launch we watch resolution rates and transcripts for the first weeks and tune: new articles, tightened scope, adjusted handoff triggers.
Deliverables
- Grounding audit of knowledge base and site content against real tickets
- Customer agent configured with scope, tone, and guardrails
- Human handoff flows that carry full context
- Pre-launch test protocol with logged results
- Resolution and deflection reporting
- Post-launch tuning pass after the first weeks of traffic
What buyers ask before scoping.
What does the customer agent need before it can work well?
A real knowledge base and accurate site content. The agent answers from your sources; if they are thin or stale, it either refuses a lot or answers badly. We audit your content against actual ticket history first and tell you honestly whether to deploy now or build the self-service layer first.
Will it make things up?
The agent is grounded in your content and constrained by scope rules: outside its lane it hands off rather than improvises. We test it against real past customer questions before launch and review transcripts after. No AI is perfect, which is exactly why the human handoff is one message away by design, not buried.
How do we measure whether it is working?
Resolution rate (conversations closed without a human), deflection in the categories the agent covers, and handoff quality - whether escalations arrive with usable context. In the first weeks, reading transcripts matters more than any single number, and that review is part of the engagement.
