AI does the heavy lifting, people stay in charge
Use AI to interpret permitted inputs, suggest structured mappings and generate candidate replies for the stated task modules. Use deterministic code for routing rules, schema validation, hard constraints and reproducible tests. Review source-linked explanations and uncertainty before accepting results. One approved knowledge scope and one brand tone set; final policy, refund and account decisions remain human. A model suggestion is never a verified fact, professional decision or authorization to act.
What your team sees
Primary screens: Knowledge sources and brand setup, Assistant and admin console, Conversation review and escalation. Use a source list with sync status, a central conversation view with cited passages, and a right-hand panel for sentiment, escalation and macros. Let reviewers compare draft and approved replies side by side. Display draft, changes requested, approved and escalated states. Provide a client-facing widget preview with comments anchored to the relevant reply. Make the task-specific outcome reviewed, source-linked customer answers visible beside their evidence, review state and value baseline.
Accounts and administration
Workspace ownership, source versions, brand settings, escalation rules, agent roles, usage allowances, retention limits, export history and a rights record for supplied material. Add organization access boundaries, named reviewers, usage caps, data retention controls, export logs and explicit approval for external actions.
Integrations and data access
Client-owned knowledge bases, helpdesk tools, Slack, Microsoft Teams and website platforms. Start with file exchange and validate destination specifications before promising direct publishing. Start with authorized file exchange. Validate current provider access, usage rights and schema behavior before promising a connector.
How we build it
We build with our own AI software development factory, so most implementations take days to a few weeks of creation time, not months. You see working software at every step, and exact timing depends on availability.

Why we start with an MVP
An MVP, or minimum viable product, is the smallest version that your users can actually work with. It is not a cheap version of the full solution. It is a test, built to answer the questions that decide whether the rest is worth building.
- Pick the riskiest assumption. Here: will support leads and small support teams handling recurring customer inquiries use it to solve "customer inquiries arrive across channels around the clock, and teams cannot answer them consistently from approved company knowledge without adding headcount"?
- Build only what tests it. One team, one use case, a few core modules. People do the rest by hand for now.
- Run a paid pilot. Agree quality and outcome thresholds before the pilot using this measure: Resolved inquiries per support hour and corrections after customer reply.
- Measure, then decide. Track resolved inquiries per support hour and corrections after customer reply; accepted-output rate; material error rate; reviewer correction time; actual repeat purchase. Then expand, change course or stop, with evidence instead of opinions.
MVP scope for this solution. Pilot scope: One approved knowledge scope and one brand tone set; final policy, refund and account decisions remain human. Implement one approved input format, a bounded representative case set and the first two task modules: answer customer inquiries from approved company content; stay available around the clock without human intervention. Support the third module with operator review: reply in the customer's language. Include source references, corrections, basic organization access, approval states, export and value measurement. Use managed operator assistance for unresolved exceptions. The cost estimate covers this narrow prototype, not unrestricted multi-tenant scale, complex production integrations, specialist certification or physical operations.
After the MVP. Once paid pilots prove usefulness, automate repeatable reviewed steps and add one verified source integration. Expand supported inputs and case volume only after new evaluation cases pass. Build reusable customer configurations and recurring value reports around reviewed, source-linked customer answers. Retain the explicit scope boundary: One approved knowledge scope and one brand tone set; final policy, refund and account decisions remain human.
What the build depends on. Source upload and sync, asynchronous reply jobs, editable version history, reviewer access and tested export formats. High-fidelity support requires specialist QA. Obtain representative authorized cases, baseline measurements, qualified reviewers and a buyer-side decision owner. Specific limitation: One approved knowledge scope and one brand tone set; final policy, refund and account decisions remain human.

Pricing to test
Test a USD 300-1,500 fixed pilot for one defined support scope. Offer a monthly production allowance after repeat demand. Quote complex multi-channel or specialist integrations separately. These are test prices, not market benchmarks. Package the initial sale as one bounded reviewed, source-linked customer answers with escalation records. Recurring fees must specify volume, review depth and integration support. For exchanges, test a disclosed coordination or successful-service fee rather than holding customer funds. Reprice only after measuring real delivery labor; platform-build cost is separate from a commercial pilot fee.
Message to test
Reduce repetitive inquiry handling while keeping answers traceable to approved sources. Demonstrate a concrete reviewed, source-linked customer answers with escalation records using the buyer's approved example and show the baseline, corrections and actual delivery effort.
Where to find buyers
Support leads and small support teams handling recurring customer inquiries professional communities; specialist consultants serving this buyer; permissioned partner introductions; practical demonstrations at relevant trade or practitioner events.
Lead magnet
A reviewed sample reviewed, source-linked customer answers with escalation records from a small authorized input set, with a transparent calculation of resolved inquiries per support hour and corrections after customer reply and no promised savings.
The first 30 days
- Week 1: interview five support leads and small support teams handling recurring customer inquiries and inspect a recent example of customer inquiries arriving across channels around the clock and teams unable to answer them consistently from approved company knowledge without adding headcount.
- Week 2: prepare a consented or synthetic demonstration of the three task modules.
- Week 3: seek one bounded paid pilot with agreed baseline and acceptance criteria.
- Week 4: measure resolved inquiries per support hour and corrections after customer reply, reviewer effort and repeat-purchase interest. This is a demand-validation plan, not a thirty-day full-product delivery promise.
Paid pilot
Agree quality and outcome thresholds before the pilot using this measure: Resolved inquiries per support hour and corrections after customer reply. Continue only if the buyer accepts the actual output, the intended job outcome improves without unacceptable errors, and measured delivery cost fits willingness to pay. Revise or stop if access is unavailable, qualified review cannot be provided, or apparent savings disappear after corrections and support. Use held-out cases when comparing model quality; use a properly reviewed comparison design before making causal claims. Record missing cases and negative results alongside successful outputs.
Success metrics
Resolved inquiries per support hour and corrections after customer reply; accepted-output rate; material error rate; reviewer correction time; actual repeat purchase.
Retention and expansion
Repeat the workflow when the buyer again needs reviewed, source-linked customer answers with escalation records. Retain permissioned settings and reviewed examples, report realized value honestly, and sell increased volume or adjacent approved workflows only after contribution margin and quality remain acceptable.
Why clients would pick it
A reusable library of approved answers, escalation rules and review examples, together with reliable delivery for a narrow support niche. Build a permissioned library of representative task cases, reviewer corrections and verified operating constraints for support leads and small support teams handling recurring customer inquiries. Repeatable delivery and useful integrations matter more than access to a base model.
Alternatives and positioning
SiteSpeakAI, Auralis AI, ZipChat, Get Chunky, OpenAssistantGPT and Twig, plus freelancers and generic chatbot builders. Compare this product with the buyer's present method on resolved inquiries per support hour and corrections after customer reply. Offer a bounded paid workflow instead of claiming broad autonomous expertise. Market uniqueness and competitor coverage are not verified.
Main delivery costs
Model calls, storage, reviewer hours, client revision rounds and licensed source content. Additional initial validation requires representative authorized sample preparation, buyer interviews, buyer-side evaluation and bounded validation of reviewed, source-linked customer answers with escalation records. Track cost per accepted output, including correction work, unsuccessful cases and support.
Safeguards
Preserve customer privacy, source attribution, answer accuracy and usage permissions. Support leads approve substantive policy answers and escalation scope. One approved knowledge scope and one brand tone set; final policy, refund and account decisions remain human. Keep all consequential actions under authorized human control and do not fabricate missing inputs, permissions, professional judgments or market evidence.
