Choosing ai customer support
Should an AI agent answer customers without a human in the loop?+
Only for well-bounded questions with reliable sources and clear escalation. Measure resolution quality on real tickets, keep a fast path to a person, and review transcripts for wrong answers before widening scope.
What does per-resolution pricing mean?+
Some vendors charge only when the AI fully resolves a conversation instead of per seat. Model your ticket mix and expected resolution rate; a low rate can make per-seat pricing cheaper.
