1. Inbound operational triggers
Workflows trigger instantly on customer events: an incoming live web chat, a new inbound support email, a WhatsApp message, or an unassigned ticket created in Zendesk or Gorgias.
Customer Support Automation
Resolve frontline support without losing the human touch.
Automate routine customer inquiries across web chat, email, and WhatsApp with pre-built operational AI agents that know your policies, authenticate shoppers, and escalate complex cases cleanly.
Support operations should solve issues, not just answer chats
Most customer support queries do not need complex deliberation—they need verified data and consistent execution. Shoppers want to know delivery status, verify account details, or understand store policies. Chad's operational agents connect directly into your helpdesk and commerce systems to resolve tier-1 inquiries end-to-end, freeing your support specialists to focus on high-value, sensitive interactions.
Operational mechanics: triggers, actions, and handoffs
2. Automated resolution & tools
The agent authenticates customer identity, looks up relevant records, provides grounded policy answers, tags tickets with categorized intents, and resolves routine issues automatically.
3. Monitored human handoffs
When negative sentiment is detected, a high-value account is flagged, or a policy exception arises, the agent passes the full context, summary, and ticket history directly to your human agents.
Pre-built operational agents, not DIY prompt builders
Generic chatbot platforms require your team to spend hours writing prompt instructions, troubleshooting unexpected edge cases, and attempting to connect APIs through brittle third-party connectors. Chad delivers a fully configured operational agent engineered specifically for customer support.
Our engineering team audits your past tickets, connects your helpdesk, sets up strict policy boundaries, and tests edge cases before launching. You get an enterprise-grade agent backed by our engineering team, not an experimental side project.
Connect the tools behind the support desk
Chad integrates directly with leading helpdesk platforms including Zendesk, Gorgias, and Freshdesk, alongside commerce systems like Shopify and communication channels like WhatsApp and Gmail. Tickets, tags, and internal notes stay synchronized across all platforms in real time.

Measurable outcomes: Achieve sub-minute initial response times 24/7, automate 40% to 70% of routine frontline tickets, and substantially increase first contact resolution (FCR) without growing support headcount.
Operational limits & guardrails: The agent operates strictly within your documented policies. It does not issue unapproved discretionary refunds, invent unwritten warranty rules, or make commercial commitments outside configured boundaries. Any exception is cleanly handed off to your team.
How setup and rollout work
Getting started is straightforward and hands-off for your team. Chad’s engineering team reviews your support documentation and recent ticket history, builds tailored intent workflows, configures helpdesk tags and routing rules, and verifies edge cases in a staging sandbox. Once approved, the agent goes live with active performance monitoring.

Frequently asked questions
Can Chad work alongside our existing human support agents and helpdesk?
Yes. Chad integrates directly with helpdesks like Zendesk, Gorgias, and Freshdesk. Routine inquiries are resolved automatically, while complex issues and policy exceptions are escalated to your human team with full conversation history and summaries.
What happens when a customer asks a question outside the agent's knowledge base?
When a query falls outside approved documentation or requires discretionary judgment, Chad routes the ticket to your human team rather than guessing. The agent can collect clarifying details first so your staff receives a complete, actionable request.
How does Chad prevent hallucinations and inaccurate customer promises?
Chad's operational agents are strictly constrained to your approved documentation, policies, and connected system data. Our engineering team configures deterministic guardrails so the agent cannot invent unwritten store policies or unauthorized concessions.
What communication channels are supported for customer support automation?
Chad supports omnichannel customer conversations across live web chat, WhatsApp, and email, with all conversations synchronized into your central helpdesk or ticketing platform.
