Can AI auto-reply in our support inbox?
Technically possible, customers smell it. AI as first line only works if it is transparent and a human is reachable.
Try this first
- 1Be clear it is AI. 'Hi, I am an AI assistant, a colleague reads along within X hours' beats letting AI pretend to be Erik.
- 2Limit AI to info questions and existing FAQ answers. Complaints, legal, escalations: always straight to a human.
- 3Provide a no-AI button. 'I want to speak to a human' must work in one click, otherwise customers leave.
- 4Log what the AI answered and review weekly. Hallucinations to customers are most damaging in the first months.
- 5Measure outcomes. First-response within X minutes, and how often a human still had to step in. Not vanity counts.
When to bring us in
AI sent a wrong answer with legal or financial weight: stop the bot, contact the customer yourself, call us for damage control.
