Target users

  • Support leads
  • SaaS founders
  • Operations teams

Inputs

  • Recent tickets

  • Escalation policy

Outputs

  • Updated knowledge base
  • AI answer restrictions

Boundaries

  • Customer policy, refund, security, and legal answers require human approval.
  • Failed AI answers should update source content, not only the prompt.
  • Keep internal-only notes separate from customer-facing help content.

Common mistakes

  • Updating support AI prompts without fixing the source knowledge base.
  • Letting AI publish policy-sensitive answers without human approval.
  • Tracking deflection while ignoring failed answers and poor escalations.

Templates
