Common questions

Customer Service Assistance questions

Can an assistant handle live customer messages?

Yes for approved categories after training; uncertain, sensitive, or remedy-seeking messages should stop for a manager.

Can the assistant issue refunds?

Only if your written policy grants a specific limit and the account access supports it. Otherwise the assistant prepares the evidence for an authorized owner.

What should we measure?

Measure correct categorization, response accuracy, complete escalations, reopen reasons, and policy exceptions, not ticket volume alone.
