Service and operations

Support that answers from your own record and hands off with the context.

An AI customer service agent answers from your documentation and account data, cites the source for every answer, takes the routine actions your systems allow, and escalates anything irreversible to a person with the whole thread attached.

Who it is for

Built for the team that does this by hand.

01

SaaS and subscription businesses where most tickets are the same dozen questions

02

Service businesses fielding booking, billing and status requests after hours

03

Public services answering the same eligibility and status questions at volume

What it does

Customer support agents, by the job.

Answer

Answers with citations

Every answer points to the article, policy or account record it came from, so a customer or an auditor can check it instead of trusting it.

Act

Takes bounded actions

Status lookups, address changes, plan switches within limits, appointment moves: the actions your systems expose and you approve in writing.

Escalate

Escalates with the thread

Refunds, cancellations, complaints and anything it is unsure of go to a person with the conversation, the account and a suggested reply already attached.

Measure

Measures what changed

Resolution rate, handoff rate, time to first answer and customer rating, reported beside the pre-agent baseline rather than in place of it.

How it is built

The build, in order.

Every system here is scoped as one bounded workflow with a written success metric and a kill threshold agreed before the build. The steps below are the ones specific to this one.

01

Read the ticket history

The top intents by volume and by cost, which ones have a written answer, and which ones a person must always handle. The scope is the list that survives that read.

02

Build the knowledge base

What the agent may answer from, what it may not, and what happens when the corpus is silent. A question with no source gets a handoff, not a guess.

03

Shadow on live tickets

The agent drafts, your team sends. Every edit your team makes to a draft is read, and the disagreements tune it before it speaks to a customer.

04

Go live, supervised

The agent answers and acts within limits. Refunds, cancellations and anything irreversible wait for a person. The handoff rate tells you where to widen it next.

Where this stands

What we run today.

The harness is the one our own always-on operator runs on: it answers the team in Slack, runs scheduled jobs, and is held to a standard of knowing its own activity without a gap. Our public MCP server lets an AI assistant query our business the way a support agent would query yours. We have not published a customer-facing support deployment yet, so the first one is priced as a pilot like every other build on this page.

Governance

What a person still approves.

  • Refunds, cancellations and account changes beyond written limits always route to a person
  • Every answer carries its source, and an answer with no source is not sent
  • Conversation logs are retained under your policy and never used to train a shared model

The rest of the posture is published on trust and security: client-granted access you can revoke, credentials in managed stores, an AI governance summary aligned to the NIST AI Risk Management Framework, our subprocessors, and a DPA on request. We do not hold SOC 2 and we say so there.

Price

Published, not gated.

Pilot builds $25,000 to $60,000 fixed, production retainer from $8,000 per month. Every AI build starts with a $7,500 AI Opportunity Audit over two weeks that is credited toward the build if you proceed, and a pilot is one bounded workflow on your real data over 30 to 90 days with a written success metric and a kill threshold.

The full price list is on the pricing page, and the cost drivers, with the questions that expose a padded quote, are in how much AI agents cost in 2026.

Questions

Customer support agents, answered.

What is an AI customer service agent?
Software that reads a customer's message, answers from your documentation and account data with the source cited, takes the routine actions your systems allow, and hands anything irreversible to a person with the thread attached. It is a chatbot only in the sense that a pilot is a passenger.
How much does an AI customer service agent cost?
A pilot on your real tickets is $25,000 to $60,000 fixed over 30 to 90 days, after a $7,500 audit that reads your ticket history and prices the scope. Running it is a production retainer from $8,000 per month. Per-conversation model costs are metered and reported separately.
Can it work inside Zendesk, Intercom or HubSpot Service Hub?
Yes. The agent reads and writes through the help desk's API, so tickets, macros and reporting stay where your team already works. We build to the platform you have.
