Faster, more personal, around the clock – AI-powered support ### Intelligent chatbots Chatbots that hold natural conversations, understand requests in context and solve problems independently. Connecting them to backend systems enables order status queries, return processes and account management directly in the chat. ### Automated ticket classification AI automatically categorises incoming requests by topic, urgency and required expertise. Intelligent routing sends tickets to the right team or agent – for shorter resolution times. ### Sentiment analysis & escalation The AI detects customer sentiment in real time across chat, email and social media. Upset customers are automatically prioritised and escalated to experienced staff before dissatisfaction leads to cancellation. ### Agent assist The AI supports your staff in real time: it searches the knowledge base, suggests solutions and draft replies and summarises the customer history and current request. This noticeably speeds up handling. ### Voice AI & phone bot An AI-powered phone hotline understands requests, provides information and handles simple processes. Speech recognition and natural voice output significantly shorten time in the queue, and complex cases go straight to the right team. ### Proactive customer service The AI detects problems before customers get in touch, such as delivery delays, billing errors or product faults. Proactive notifications resolve issues before they escalate and turn potential complaints into positive experiences. ## Frequently asked questions about AI in service Q: What automation rate is realistic? A: That depends on your products and requests. Simple information such as order status or frequently asked questions can be largely automated, while complex complaints still require human handling. We determine the realistic target value based on your previous requests before we build anything, and we measure it after go-live. Q: Do customers accept AI in customer service? A: Quality is what matters: good AI in service is rated positively, poor AI lowers satisfaction. Many customers value a quick answer more than long waiting times. We build AI that holds natural conversations, clearly identifies itself as AI and says honestly when it reaches its limits. Q: How does the handover to human agents work? A: For complex requests, negative sentiment or at the customer's explicit request, the AI hands over seamlessly to a person. Your agent receives a summary of the conversation so far, the customer history and suggested solutions. There is no loss of information, and nobody has to explain their request a second time. Q: Can the AI be integrated into our existing service platform? A: Yes. We integrate with Zendesk, Salesforce Service Cloud, Freshdesk, Intercom, HubSpot Service Hub and other platforms. The AI appears as a natural part of your existing workflows, without a separate interface and without duplicate data storage. We take over roles and permissions from your system. Q: How do you train the chatbot with our knowledge? A: We build a RAG knowledge base from your FAQs, product documentation, internal manuals and historical support conversations. This way the bot knows your product context and tone. You can add new information yourself at any time via a simple interface, without having to retrain a model. Q: Is using AI in customer service GDPR-compliant? A: Yes. Our solutions implement consent management, inform customers about the use of AI (transparency obligation under the EU AI Act), pseudonymise conversation data and observe deletion periods. Chat logs are stored encrypted and deleted automatically after defined periods. We document all data flows traceably for your data protection officer. Q: How do you measure the success of customer service AI? A: We measure success through automation rate, first contact resolution, average handling time, customer satisfaction (CSAT or NPS), escalation rate and cost per ticket. A dashboard shows these KPIs continuously, so you can spot improvements and weaknesses at any time and adjust specifically, for example with new content in the knowledge base. Q: What does customer service AI cost? A: Costs depend on the channels, integrations into your service platform and the scope of the knowledge base. A chatbot for one channel is much leaner than an omnichannel solution with a phone bot. Fixed price after scoping, proposal within 48 hours. A Prototyping Sprint at a fixed price of €4,500 is a good way to start. Q: Can the AI communicate in several languages? A: Yes. Modern language models such as GPT and Claude master numerous languages. We configure the chatbot for your target markets with adjustments to tone and cultural specifics. Automatic language detection chooses the right language for every request, while you still maintain your knowledge base only once. ## Improve customer service with AI Find out in a free 30-minute initial call how AI can make your support faster and better. ## Which technologies do we use in service? ## How do industries use AI in support? ## Example projects Examples we can build for you ## Personal consultation in Berlin ## How do we introduce AI into your customer service? ### Consultation call Free initial call via video.
