AI USE CASE
Self-service customer chatbot
Deflect 30–50% of repetitive support questions with a grounded AI chatbot.
What it is
A retrieval-augmented chatbot trained on your help centre, product docs and past tickets answers customer questions 24/7 in their language, with safe escalation to a human agent for complex cases. Live deflection rates of 35–55% on common topics are typical.
Data you need
Help-centre articles, product docs, 6+ months of ticket history.
Required systems
- helpdesk
Why it works
- Grounded answers only, with citations
- One-click escalation to human at any point
How this goes wrong
- Hallucinated answers on policy questions
- Difficult escalation path frustrates customers
When NOT to do this
Don't deploy if your help centre is genuinely incomplete, fix the source content first.
