  • Test the top ticket drivers against your knowledge base, escalation rules, CRM data, refund policy, and handoff process before turning on automation.
  • Upgrade when support volume, deflection goals, QA, analytics, multilingual coverage, or helpdesk integrations make a generic chatbot too risky.
