A custom AI support agent that reads every incoming support email, classifies it, looks up the real data, drafts the real reply in your tone, auto-resolves the categories you allow, and escalates only the hard cases with context.
Support replies in minutes
For small teams, support stops being the founder's background task. Repetitive questions resolve themselves, complex issues arrive pre-triaged, and response time drops without adding headcount.
Support emails usually land in a shared inbox or, worse, the founder's inbox. Common questions get answered from scratch, order lookups require jumping into another tool, and edge cases sit unanswered for too long.
Most teams fix this by adding a help desk UI, but the hard part never was the UI. It was the thinking, the data lookup, the drafting, and the consistency of reply quality.
A custom AI support agent handles the repetitive 80 percent, escalates the sensitive 20 percent, and gives humans back the part of support that actually needs judgment.
Monitors your support inbox continuously so no message sits unseen because a person was busy.
Order status, refund, shipping, technical question, complaint, spam, partnership, or any category you define.
Pulls from Shopify, an order system, your CRM, a sheet, or a knowledge base before drafting the reply.
Writes complete, context-aware responses that sound like your team, not a generic bot widget.
Order status, basic FAQ, or low-risk requests can resolve themselves once you approve the rules.
Humans receive the email, the category, the data, and a draft already 80 percent done.
We map support categories, tone, data sources, and escalation rules. Output: fixed-price scope.
Email intake, classification, data lookup, and reply drafting go into a working prototype.
Low-risk categories, reviewer dashboards, and human handoff rules get wired up.
We go live against your real inbox and tune tone, accuracy, and auto-resolve thresholds based on audited output.
