Route customer support tickets to the right Slack channel with AI

AI reads each support ticket, decides its category and urgency, and sends it to the right Slack channel.

How the work actually flows

From the manual situation today to what runs on its own.

The problem it solves

New support requests come in and someone has to read each one, figure out if it's a billing question, a technical issue, or something else, and then forward it to the right person. When that sorting happens late, customers wait longer and requests slip through the cracks.

Who it fits

Small businesses and SaaS teams who need incoming support tickets sorted and routed without manual triage.

How it works

  1. A support ticket comes in through your contact form
  2. AI reads the ticket and classifies it as billing, technical, sales, or general
  3. It also determines whether the ticket is high, medium, or low priority
  4. The ticket is posted to the matching Slack channel with a formatted message
  5. Optionally, the ticket is also logged to Airtable for tracking
What you get

Tickets landing in the right Slack channel

Each support ticket you receive gets read, categorized, and sent straight to the right Slack channel, so nothing gets lost in your shared inbox.

What you get

A support ticket routed to the correct Slack channel with its category and priority already labeled.

What you need

An OpenAI API key, a Slack workspace, and optionally an Airtable account.

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.
