The problem it solves

Support tickets pile up from email and other channels, and someone has to read each one, guess how urgent it is, and decide who should handle it. Angry or high-risk customers can sit in the queue just as long as routine questions, and translating messages from other languages adds even more delay.

Who it fits

Support teams and small businesses handling a steady stream of customer tickets across channels.

How it works

  1. A new ticket arrives by email or through your support form
  2. The message is cleaned up and translated into English if needed
  3. AI reads the ticket to judge sentiment, urgency, and category
  4. Routine tickets get an AI-drafted reply and update your CRM; urgent ones are sent straight to your team
  5. Every ticket is logged so you can track response times and trends
What you get

Tickets sorted by urgency before anyone opens them

Every incoming support ticket gets read, tagged by urgency and sentiment, and routed to the right place automatically.

What you get

A triaged ticket queue with draft replies for routine issues and instant alerts for urgent ones.

What you need

An email inbox or support form, a CRM or helpdesk account, and an Anthropic 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.
