Everyday support

Every support team knows these problems

Rising request volumes, recurring questions and manual processes slow your team down – at the expense of speed and customer satisfaction.

Every ticket costs more than it should

Manual handling drives up average handle time – and with it, the cost per ticket.

Until now, scaling meant hiring more people

When ticket volume rises, there's often only one option: create new positions. That drives up fixed support costs.

Manual categorizing and routing takes time

Every ticket has to be read, sorted and forwarded to the right person first.

Recurring requests tie up costly capacity

Most requests revolve around the same topics – shipping status, returns, invoices.

Peak times drive costs even higher

Sales, holidays or seasonal peaks make ticket volume explode.

Long first response time

Customers sometimes wait days for a first reply. That doesn't just lower CSAT – it also costs revenue through abandoned purchases and returns.

How it works

Automate your helpdesk: from categorization to autonomous ticket replies

Start with automatic ticket sorting or use automated replies. You decide how far automation goes.

1
Incoming tickets are automatically sorted by topics like returns and FAQ

Level 1

Categorization & prioritization

The Helpdesk Agent analyzes the content of every incoming ticket and email, assigns it to the right category automatically and rates its urgency. Manual triage disappears – and with it much of the time currently lost per ticket before work even starts.

2
Ticket is recognized and routed to the right person on the team

Level 2

Smart routing

Based on category, urgency and content, the Helpdesk Agent automatically routes every ticket to the right team member. No more manual forwarding – requests land right where they'll be solved fastest.

3
AI reply suggestion for a customer email right in the helpdesk

Level 3

Agent Assist: reply and action suggestions

With Response Assist, your team gets matching reply suggestions in real time; with Action Assist, concrete action recommendations – for a refund or cancellation, say. That way you answer recurring standard questions much faster and with consistent quality, instead of tying up costly capacity.

Helpdesk Agent vs. Support Agent

You decide how autonomously the agent works

Insight Agent and Action Agent are the connection to your systems. Whether that becomes a suggestion your team reviews and confirms via Agent Assist, or a fully automated action via Agentic AI, you decide per request type.

Looking for an agent that resolves requests directly in chat on your website? Then the Support Agent is right for you.

FAQs

Common questions, answered directly.

What's the difference between Agent Assist and Agentic AI?

Agent Assist supports your team: Response Assist delivers reply suggestions, Action Assist concrete action recommendations – your team reviews and confirms. Agentic AI goes a step further and answers clearly defined, recurring requests completely on its own by email. You decide which requests get automated and which stay with your team.

What's the difference between Action Assist and Action Agent?

The Action Agent is the technical connection to your store or ERP system – it can perform write actions there, like cancellations or address changes. Whether that action goes to your team as a suggestion via Action Assist or runs fully automatically via Agentic AI is up to you.

Which ticket systems does the Helpdesk Agent support?

The Helpdesk Agent connects to common ticket and helpdesk systems like Zendesk, Freshdesk, GREYHOUND and Zammad. You'll find a full list at melibo.de/en/integrations-kategorie/helpdesk. Your system isn't listed? Talk to us – we check every integration individually.

Can the Helpdesk Agent connect to my email inbox?

Yes. Besides ticket systems, the Helpdesk Agent connects directly to Gmail and Outlook inboxes and automates incoming support emails just like tickets.

What if the Helpdesk Agent doesn't work?

To make getting started as risk-free as possible, we always begin by generating only reply and action suggestions your team can rate. Only once you're happy with the suggestions do we answer individual requests fully automatically.

How do you ensure the quality of automated replies?

New automations always start as suggestions your team approves. On our platform, you train and monitor the Helpdesk Agent yourself on an ongoing basis: in the Bot-Gym you train new answers, and in Insights you see where the AI is still unsure. Only when the accuracy is right do you enable individual request types for fully automated replies.

Do you only automate simple standard requests?

No. The Helpdesk Agent also helps with more complex tickets through reply and action suggestions, even when a fully automated reply isn't possible or wanted. So you save time even where no autopilot is running (yet).

How long does implementation take?

Our average ramp-up time is 30 business days – from contract signature to go-live. This figure is based on over 170 successfully completed projects.
