How the work actually flows

A straight line.

The problem it solves

Answering the same support questions over and over eats up hours every week, and it's hard to keep replies consistent when different people are answering. Customers expect a fast response, but digging through documentation to find the right answer takes time. You want help that sounds like you, not a generic bot.

Who it fits

Agencies or support teams that field repeat customer questions and want consistent, accurate answers.

How it works

  1. A new email arrives in Gmail
  2. The system searches your knowledge base for relevant information
  3. Results are reranked so the most useful answers rise to the top
  4. AI writes a personalized reply using that information and the conversation history
  5. The reply is sent back automatically, keeping the thread in context
What you get

Repeat questions answered from your knowledge base

Customers get a personalized reply pulled from your knowledge base automatically whenever they email in a common question.

What you get

An automatic, accurate email reply grounded in your own documentation.

What you need

A Gmail account, a knowledge base or document store, and AI and reranking services.

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.
