For B2B software companies, 10–250 staff

Your support AI is probably resolving 35–40% of tickets. Not the 70% on the slide.

We tune the AI you already pay for in Intercom, Help Scout, HubSpot or Zendesk so it resolves more tickets, safely, at a cost you can predict. We don't build a new bot. We fix the one on your invoice.

Why it isn't resolving more

01

You pay per resolution

Most helpdesk AI now bills per resolved conversation, from about £0.40 to £1.60 each. Every point of resolution shows up on your invoice, and "resolved" is defined by the vendor.

02

The help centre is the bottleneck

AI agents answer from your knowledge base. Thin, outdated or contradictory articles mean wrong answers or endless handoffs. Only around 1 in 10 AI agents is still running six months after launch.

03

You own what the bot says

UK regulators have been clear in 2026: the business is responsible for its AI agent, even when a vendor supplies it. Invented refund rules and missing "talk to a person" routes are now a fineable risk.

What's a resolution point worth to you?

Put in your own numbers. This is the same model we use on a Cost Check call, simplified.

Estimate

£7,560 a year

net value of moving from 35% to 50% resolution

Extra AI resolutions a month
150
Extra AI fees a month
£120
Human time saved a month
£750

Net value = extra resolutions × (human cost − AI price) × 12. Excludes platform seats, base fees and our fees. Your real resolution rate and cost per ticket are what the Cost Check pins down.

Ten controls in every launch

Most AI support failures you've read about, like the bot that swore at a customer after an update or the one that invented a refund policy, would have been caught by a short checklist. Ours ships with every launch.

An operational checklist, not legal advice.

  1. Scope. Refunds, closures and eligibility stay with people.
  2. Disclose. "You're chatting with an AI assistant. Ask for a person any time."
  3. Ground. Prices and policies only from a versioned knowledge base.
  4. Escalate. "Agent" always works, with context passed on.
  5. Protect data. DPIA screen, processor terms, privacy notice.
  6. Test. Red-team and simulate on 50 past tickets before launch.
  7. Monitor. Weekly transcript sample, repeat-contact rate, kill switch.
  8. Re-test on change. Regression run after every vendor or content update.
  9. Include. Accessible widget; phone and email routes kept.
  10. Own. A named owner, an incident plan, a quarterly review.

Who you'd work with

Three people from support operations and professional services. We've run the queues, written the help centres and sat in the implementation calls. We're independent of every helpdesk vendor.

Questions

Do you build a custom chatbot?

No. You're already paying for AI inside your helpdesk. We make that work properly, which is cheaper and easier to maintain than a second bot.

Which helpdesks do you work with?

Intercom (Fin), Help Scout, HubSpot Service Hub and Zendesk. Ask us about others.

We haven't switched AI on yet. Is this for us?

Yes. The Readiness & Cost Model tells you which tickets AI can safely handle, what it will cost on each vendor's billing model, and what to fix in your help centre first.

Our AI is already live. Where do we start?

With the Responsible AI Health Check or the Readiness & Cost Model. Both give you a baseline resolution rate measured by us, not the vendor.

What access do you need?

Read access to your helpdesk for the diagnostic, and an admin seat for a launch. We work least-privilege, under a data processing agreement, and never train anything on your data.

Is this legal advice?

No. We apply an operational checklist built from current UK guidance. For legal sign-off, talk to your solicitor; we'll give them everything they need.

When are you available?

Most of our work is asynchronous. Calls are early morning or evening, UK time.
