Identify your repetitive requests

Review recent customer emails, live chats, and support tickets. Group questions by shipping, returns, sizing, product details, and account access. Use these real conversations to prioritize what customers actually need, rather than guessing.

Automate explanations before transactions

Create verified FAQ answers and let the assistant explain policies, suggest help articles, or collect information for human review. Do not let it issue refunds, cancel orders, or access private order information without authenticated integrations and tested permissions.

Measure outcomes and correct mistakes

Track correct answers, repeat contacts, escalation rates, and satisfaction. Review uncertain responses weekly and update policies when they change. Begin with a limited pilot before exposing automation to every customer.
