Choosing tools as a support leaders
Which AI support agent should we choose?+
If you are on Intercom or Zendesk, start with their native agents. Small teams and stores can use Tidio; teams that need designed flows and actions can build with Voiceflow.
How do we stop the AI from giving wrong answers?+
Ground it strictly in verified help content, restrict scope, require citations, test on historical tickets, and review transcripts weekly to fix content gaps.
What should we measure?+
Resolution rate on scoped intents, CSAT on AI-handled conversations, escalation reasons, and time to human when escalation happens.
