AI-powered help desk for founders and lean teams.
Triage Customer Support Emails
Email triage is for solo founders and lean teams whose support inbox has outgrown ad hoc scanning. A simple email ticketing workflow captures each message, identifies urgency and topic, assigns ownership, and keeps unanswered requests visible.
The process should move each request from intake to review, drafted response, approval, and closure, while preserving human judgment. A good outcome is faster, more consistent replies, fewer missed messages, and enough context to spot recurring questions without adding enterprise overhead.

More about triage metrics
Measure the workflow for two weeks before and after rollout. Focus on whether triage becomes more reliable, not simply whether AI drafts more replies.
- Record median first response time and messages left unanswered after one business day.
- Sample 20 drafted replies each week. Log major edits, factual corrections, and escalations.
- Track repeat edits by topic. Frequent corrections show where the knowledge base needs clearer source material.
