Customer support is a workflow, not just a chatbot

Effective AI customer service starts by understanding the questions customers ask, the information needed to answer them and the actions that should happen after a conversation.

Useful mechanisms

  • FAQ and knowledge-base assistants
  • Lead and support message classification
  • Escalation to human staff
  • Order and service information routing
  • Follow-up and customer retention workflows

Implementation should be tested against real business scenarios and refined before wider deployment.
