Automatically categorize and route support tickets

Incoming support tickets are automatically categorized, routed to the right team, and escalated if they go unanswered.

How the work actually flows

A straight line. A person is alerted when a step fails.

The problem it solves

New support tickets keep piling up and your team has to read each one, figure out what it is about, and decide who should handle it. Urgent issues can sit unnoticed while everyone works through the backlog in order.

Who it fits

Support teams handling a steady volume of tickets who want consistent categorization and routing.

How it works

  1. A new support ticket comes in through your ticketing system
  2. AI reads the ticket and assigns a category and priority
  3. The ticket is routed to the right team or agent
  4. The customer gets an automatic acknowledgment
  5. Tickets left unresolved too long are escalated to a higher tier
What you get

Tickets sorted before your team even opens them

Incoming support tickets get categorized, routed to the right team, and escalated automatically if nobody responds in time.

What you get

Every ticket categorized, routed, and acknowledged, with overdue tickets automatically escalated.

What you need

A DeepSeek API key and integration with your existing support platform.

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.
