Omnichannel Support Agent

One agent across chat, email, and social — with consistent answers

Unified intake from web chat, email, WhatsApp, and social DMs with knowledge-grounded responses, sentiment routing, and seamless handoff to human agents when complexity spikes.

Business problem

Customers repeat themselves across channels, response quality varies by agent shift, and after-hours volume overwhelms skeleton crews.

Intended users

  • Customer support directors and workforce planners
  • CX operations leads managing SLAs
  • Product support teams handling technical tier-1 questions

Key outcomes

  • Consistent answers drawn from approved knowledge across all channels
  • Automatic triage by intent, urgency, and customer tier
  • After-hours coverage with escalation paths to on-call humans
  • Unified conversation history regardless of channel switches
