47 Support Emails. ... Need a Human. AI Handles the Rest.
Your support team spends 6 hours a day on emails they have answered a thousand times before. Password resets. Shipping queries. Refund requests. Let AI clear the queue so humans handle what matters.
The Support Email Burden
Australian support teams are drowning. The numbers tell the story.
The average support agent spends 75% of their shift reading and responding to emails. That is 6 hours of an 8-hour day consumed by inbox management.
Nearly three quarters of support emails are variations of questions already answered in your FAQ or knowledge base. Password resets, order status, refund policies, on repeat.
Customers wait over 4 hours for a reply to a question that has been answered hundreds of times before. By then, 52% have already contacted a competitor.
The Hidden Cost
A 5-person support team handling 200 emails per day at an average of $65,000 salary each costs your business $325,000 per year. When 73% of those emails could be auto-resolved, you are paying $237,250 annually for work that AI can do in seconds. That is not an optimisation opportunity — it is a structural inefficiency costing you a quarter of a million dollars every year.

47 Emails Breakdown
How AI Email Support Works
From inbox to resolution in under 30 seconds. Four steps. Zero human effort for routine queries.
Receive & Scan
Every incoming email is instantly scanned. The AI reads the full email body, subject line, customer history, and any attachments. It identifies the sender, checks their previous interactions, and determines the email context in under 2 seconds.
Classify & Prioritise
The AI classifies the email into one of your configured categories — billing, shipping, technical, complaint, feedback, or custom categories. It assigns a priority level (urgent, high, normal, low) based on sentiment analysis, SLA timelines, and customer value tier.
Auto-Resolve
For routine queries with high confidence scores, the AI generates and sends a personalised response using your brand voice and knowledge base. Password resets are triggered, tracking numbers are looked up, refund policies are quoted — all automatically, all instantly.
Escalate with Context
Complex issues, angry customers, or low-confidence queries are routed to the right team member with a complete summary: customer history, sentiment score, suggested resolution, and relevant knowledge base articles. Your agent starts with full context, not a cold email.
Everything Your Support Team Needs
Eight capabilities that transform your support inbox from a burden into a competitive advantage.
Intent Detection
AI reads every email and identifies the customer intent with 97% accuracy. Password reset, refund request, complaint, praise, question — classified in milliseconds.
Auto-Resolution
Routine queries are resolved instantly using your knowledge base and playbooks. No human touches the email unless it requires judgement.
Sentiment Analysis
Every email is scored for customer sentiment. Frustrated customers are flagged and prioritised. Happy feedback is captured for testimonials.
Priority Routing
Urgent issues jump the queue. VIP customers get premium routing. SLA breaches trigger immediate escalation. Your team works the right emails first.
SLA Tracking
Real-time SLA monitoring across all tickets. The AI alerts your team before an SLA is about to breach — not after. First response and resolution times tracked automatically.
Customer History
Every response is informed by the customer complete interaction history. Past purchases, previous tickets, account status, lifetime value — all contextualised.
Multi-Language
Support customers in over 30 languages. The AI detects the language, responds in kind, and provides English summaries for your team internal records.
Escalation Intelligence
The AI does not just escalate — it picks the right person. Technical issues go to tech, billing to finance, complaints to senior agents. With context summaries.
