01What does good AI customer support look like?

Good AI support resolves common, well-documented questions instantly and accurately, while routing anything ambiguous or emotional to a human with full context. The goal is deflection of the routine — not a wall between customers and help.

02Ground answers, never improvise

Support answers must come from your actual help center, policies, and account data via retrieval — not the model's imagination. A wrong refund policy quoted confidently is worse than no answer.

03Measure resolution and CSAT together

Deflection rate alone is a vanity metric — you can "deflect" by frustrating people into giving up. Track resolution rate, CSAT on AI-handled conversations, and escalation quality as a set.

04Test yourself

One metric, used alone, backfires.
