How we solved it

We built an AI support agent connected to the store, the helpdesk and the shipping provider. It understands the request, takes action through secure tools, such as checking an order or creating a return label, and replies in the brand's tone.

Refunds above a threshold and unusual cases go to a human with a ready-made summary, so the team only handles the conversations that need them.
