AI-Powered Customer Service Chatbot

A sophisticated AI chatbot that understands context, retrieves company-specific knowledge, and resolves customer issues autonomously while seamlessly escalating complex cases.

The Challenge

Our client, a growing SaaS company, was struggling with:

• Overwhelming ticket volume - 500+ daily support requests
• Long response times - Average 4-hour first response
• Repetitive questions - 70% of tickets were common queries
• Scaling costs - Support team growing faster than revenue

They needed an AI solution that could handle routine queries while maintaining quality.

Our Approach

We built a custom AI platform that combines the power of large language models with company-specific knowledge retrieval.

Architecture Decisions

1. RAG Architecture - Retrieval-Augmented Generation for accurate responses
2. Vector Database - Pinecone for semantic search across documentation
3. Conversation Memory - Context preservation across interactions
4. Human Handoff - Seamless escalation for complex issues
