What This Agent Does

The Customer Support Agent acts as your first line of defense, handling incoming support requests before they reach your human team. It can:

  • ✓ Auto-respond to common questions using your knowledge base
  • ✓ Categorize tickets by type, urgency, and sentiment
  • ✓ Route complex issues to the right team member
  • ✓ Escalate urgent issues with Slack/email notifications
  • ✓ Track satisfaction and flag unhappy customers

How It Works

1

Ticket Received

A customer submits a support request via email, form, or chat widget.

2

AI Analysis

The agent analyzes the message for intent, sentiment, urgency, and category.

Intent: Password Reset
Sentiment: Frustrated
Urgency: High
Category: Account Access
3

Knowledge Base Search

Searches your documentation, FAQs, and previous tickets for relevant answers.

4

Response or Escalation

Either sends an automatic response or routes to a human with full context.

Hi Jane,

I understand how frustrating it can be when you can't access your account. Let me help you get back in right away!

Here are the steps to reset your password:

  1. Go to inteliworks.io/reset-password
  2. Enter your email address
  3. Check your inbox for the reset link (also check spam)
  4. Click the link and create a new password

If you don't receive the email within 5 minutes, reply to this email and a team member will assist you personally.

Best,
Support Team @ Inteliworks

Best Practices

✓ Do: Train with your actual tickets

Upload past support conversations to improve response quality.

✓ Do: Start with draft mode

Review AI responses before enabling auto-send to ensure quality.

✓ Do: Set up escalation rules

Define clear paths for issues the AI shouldn't handle (refunds, legal, etc.)

✗ Don't remove human oversight completely

Always have a human available for complex or sensitive issues.

✗ Don't ignore negative sentiment

Configure escalation triggers for angry or frustrated customers.
