What We Did

We developed a comprehensive AI-powered customer support platform that intelligently automates routine inquiries while empowering human agents to handle complex issues. The solution features an advanced chatbot that understands natural language queries and provides instant, accurate responses by pulling directly from the company's knowledge base and documentation. We built a unified agent dashboard where support staff can monitor AI conversations, seamlessly take over when needed, and access complete customer history. The platform includes automated ticket routing based on urgency and complexity, ensuring critical issues reach specialists immediately. We implemented comprehensive analytics that track resolution rates, identify trending issues, and provide actionable insights for product improvement.

How We Did It

Our development began with analyzing 10,000+ historical support tickets to identify patterns and common inquiry types. We structured the company's scattered documentation into a searchable knowledge base optimized for AI retrieval. The implementation leveraged Supabase's real-time capabilities to enable instant handoffs between AI and human agents. We trained the chatbot using actual support conversations, ensuring responses matched the company's tone and expertise level. Throughout development, we conducted A/B testing with real customers, continuously refining the AI's accuracy and helpfulness based on satisfaction scores.
