Customer Service Automation
Deflect tickets and answer customers 24/7 with AI agents and RPA.
Questions to answer before choosing
Use these three questions to define the job before comparing products.
- Which channels and languages must the system support?
- Can it hand uncertain or sensitive cases to a human with full context?
- How will it connect to your knowledge base, CRM and ticketing system?
When not to automate yet
A short pause can prevent an expensive pilot with no owner or measurable outcome.
- Frequently asked questions with a maintained knowledge base
- Clear escalation rules and a human support queue
- Channels where response time matters more than creativity
- Accuracy on real historical tickets, not synthetic prompts
- Data access, redaction and escalation context
- Who reviews bad answers and updates the knowledge base
- A substitute for fixing a confusing product or policy
- A reason to hide a human handoff
- A safe autonomous decision-maker for sensitive cases
Three ways to solve the same problem
Choose the lowest layer that reliably removes the bottleneck.
Process first
Standardize the workflow, remove unnecessary steps and measure the bottleneck before buying technology.
Software automation
Use workflows, RPA or AI agents when the work is digital and the inputs and exceptions can be defined.
Physical robot
Use an arm, AMR, drone or humanoid when movement in the real world is the constraint to remove.
