Customer Support That

The Challenge

Customer Support at Scale is Broken

12+ Hour Response Times

Customers wait half a day for answers they need in minutes. Every hour of delay is churn.

Expensive Agent Teams

15–20 agents answering the same questions daily — at full salary, with zero scalability.

Inconsistent Brand Voice

Different agents, different tones, different accuracy. Customers feel the inconsistency.

Knowledge Never Compounds

Agents leave, knowledge walks out. The support team resets from zero — every time.

The Solution

A Three-Workflow AI System
That Thinks, Drafts & Learns

A complete autonomous support intelligence layer built entirely on n8n — not a chatbot.

Email Automation

The Production Brain

Monitors Gmail 24/7, classifies each email, fetches live transaction data, resolves the exact scenario, and deposits a personalised draft in Gmail — ready for one-click send.

Feedback Loop

The Self-Learning Engine

Compares every AI draft against what your team actually sent, captures the diff with vector embeddings, and uses corrections to continuously improve every future draft.

KB Builder

The Knowledge Foundation

Processes 50,000–70,000+ historical email threads to extract Q&A pairs and scenario patterns — so the system is intelligent from day one, not month six.
