Project Overview
E-commerce platforms handle continuous customer interactions related to orders, returns, refunds, shipping issues, and product inquiries. As ticket volumes grow, human-only support models struggle to maintain speed, accuracy, and consistency.
We developed an AI Customer Support Copilot powered by Generative AI that operates as an intelligent assistant for support teams. The copilot understands customer intent, pulls contextual data from orders and past interactions, and generates accurate response suggestions helping agents resolve queries faster while maintaining brand-aligned communication.
Business Challenges
The e-commerce client faced multiple support challenges:
- High volume of repetitive customer queries
- Increasing response and resolution times during peak sales
- Inconsistent answers across support agents
- Manual searching across knowledge bases and order systems
- Rising operational costs for customer support
- Difficulty scaling support quality with business growth
These issues negatively impacted customer experience and agent productivity.
What We Delivered
We delivered a Generative AI-powered customer support copilot tailored for e-commerce workflows:
Key deliverables include:
- Context-aware response suggestions for support agents
- AI-driven intent detection and query understanding
- Knowledge base grounded answer generation
- Automated conversation summaries for faster follow-ups
- Order, customer, and ticket context enrichment
