Classify, route, and track support tickets before SLAs slip

Reads incoming support emails, classifies urgency and routes them, then alerts your team before tickets miss their deadline.

How the work actually flows

It branches. Every path runs; a person is alerted when a step fails.

The problem it solves

Support requests come in from everywhere, and someone has to read each one, decide how urgent it is, and hand it to the right person. Tickets that need fast attention can slip through the cracks while your team is busy, and by the time anyone notices, the customer has already had a bad experience.

Who it fits

A support team or small business handling customer emails that need to be triaged and answered on time.

How it works

  1. Watches your inbox for new support emails as they arrive
  2. Uses AI to read each message and judge its urgency and sentiment
  3. Routes the ticket to the right team and logs it in Google Sheets
  4. Checks tickets against their deadline and alerts Slack if one is at risk
  5. Sends you a daily summary of ticket volume and response performance
What you get

Tickets caught before they breach SLA

Support emails get classified, routed, and tracked automatically, with an alert before any ticket misses its deadline.

What you get

A logged, routed ticket in Google Sheets, Slack alerts for at-risk tickets, and a daily performance report.

What you need

A Gmail or IMAP email account, a Google Sheets account, a Slack workspace, and an OpenAI API key.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.

That is what a Fractional Chief AI Officer figures out with you, before anyone writes a line of code.
