**Published:** 15 Jan 2025

### The Challenge
Company X, a Fortune 500 enterprise, was overwhelmed with support tickets.
- **High volume:** Thousands of tickets per month.
- **Long response times:** Average first‑reply time of 48 hrs.
- **Low customer satisfaction:** NPS dropped from 70 to 45.
The support team was stretched thin, handling repetitive queries manually and struggling to triage urgent issues.
---
### The Solution
Company X partnered with StitchGrid to deploy a **triaging AI agent** that could:
- **Identify** the nature of each incoming ticket (billing, technical, account, etc.).
- **Auto‑respond** to 40 % of common queries instantly.
- **Escalate** complex cases to human agents with contextual notes.
**Key components:**
| Component | Role |
|-----------|------|
| **AI Agent (ChatGPT‑4)** | Natural‑language understanding and response generation. |
| **StitchGrid’s Agent Framework** | Orchestration, workflow management, and integration with existing ticketing systems. |
| **Knowledge Base Sync** | Continuous updates from the company’s internal documentation. |
| **Analytics Dashboard** | Real‑time metrics on agent performance and ticket volume. |
---
### Implementation Steps
1. **Discovery & Planning**
- Map out ticket categories and existing response templates.
- Identify high‑volume query patterns.
2. **Agent Development**
- Build a custom prompt to guide the AI in triage and auto‑response.
- Train on historical ticket data for contextual accuracy.
3. **Integration**
- Connect the AI agent to the company’s ticketing platform via StitchGrid’s MCP transport.
- Set up webhook callbacks for escalations.
4. **Testing & Fine‑Tuning**
- Run a pilot on 10 % of tickets.
- Adjust thresholds and fallback rules.
5. **Rollout & Monitoring**
- Full deployment with real‑time monitoring dashboards.
- Weekly reviews and model retraining as needed.

### Results
| Metric | Before | After |
|--------|--------|-------|
| **First‑reply time** | 48 hrs | 4 hrs |
| **Ticket resolution time** | 72 hrs | 30 hrs |
| **Support agent workload** | 1 ticket / agent / day | 0.6 ticket / agent / day |
| **Customer NPS** | 45 | 68 |
| **Cost savings** | $350k / year | $210k / year |
*The AI agent handled 40 % of tickets autonomously, freeing human agents to focus on complex issues.*

### Lessons Learned
1. **Start small:** Pilot on a subset to validate accuracy before scaling.
2. **Continuous learning:** Regularly update the knowledge base and retrain the model.
3. **Human‑in‑the‑loop:** Keep escalation paths clear; agents should feel supported, not replaced.
4. **Transparency:** Share success metrics with stakeholders to maintain trust.
---
### Takeaway
By leveraging StitchGrid’s AI agent framework, Company X transformed its support operations—reducing response times, boosting customer satisfaction, and cutting costs—all while maintaining high-quality service. The same approach can be adapted to any industry where repetitive, high‑volume queries dominate.
