Your customers don't wake up thinking, "I can't wait to open a support ticket." They want instant answers—or they churn. Customer support automation blends AI chat, robotic process automation, and smart knowledge bases to give them exactly that while slashing cost per ticket.
1. The Bottleneck
A recent Zendesk report shows Egyptian consumers expect a first response within 90 minutes, yet the average SMB takes 7 hours. Automation closes this gap.
3. Phase 1: FAQs in 3 Days
- Compile top 20 repetitive questions.
- Train a lightweight NLP model or rules-based bot.
- Integrate live-agent escalation for edge cases.
Outcome: 30% ticket deflection.
4. Phase 2: Smart Triage
- Use AI to detect sentiment and topic.
- Auto-assign priority; route VIP complaints to senior reps.
5. Phase 3: Proactive Support
- Monitor product telemetry; open tickets before users discover issues.
- Push fix instructions via email/SMS.
6. Metrics That Matter
- CSAT ≥ 4.5/5
- First-response time < 1 hour
- Automatable tickets > 40%
