Self‑Service AI Support (ChatBot)
Problem Statement
Emerald Tech's Customer Support team maintained a large FAQ and product documentation in Google Drive, covering pricing, onboarding, integrations, and security. As the product evolved, this FAQ changed weekly.But support still faced three core issues:
- High volume of repetitive questions
- 40–50% of tickets were simple FAQs (“How do I add a user?”).
- Customers waited several minutes to hours for answers that already existed in internal documents.
- Out of date and fragmented knowledge
- The FAQ in Google Drive was up to date, but the website, help center, and internal macros weren’t always synchronized.
- Support agents sometimes gave conflicting answers because they worked from different sources.
- Missed opportunities with pre sales leads
- Prospective customers used the website chat to ask detailed questions about pricing, integrations, and security.
- If live agents were offline, leads dropped off instead of converting to demos or trials.
Solution
Designed and implemented a 2 workflow Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) system using Google Drive, a vector database, and an AI chat agent.
- Take the long FAQs document the support team already kept in Google Drive and made it the single “source of truth” for all common questions.
- Connected this FAQs to a smart chat assistant on the website and inside the app, so customers can type questions in their own words and get clear answers pulled directly from that document.
- Set up an automatic update loop: whenever the team edits the FAQ (for example, changes in pricing, features, or policies), the assistant quietly refreshes its knowledge in the background, no manual copying needed.
- Added simple guardrails so that if the assistant is not sure, it either asks a follow up question or hands the conversation off to a human, instead of guessing.
Results
- Cut basic “how do I…?” questions to the support team by more than half, freeing agents to focus on higher value, complex issues.
- Customers now get instant answers (in a few seconds) instead of waiting in chat or email queues, which improved satisfaction and reduced drop offs during trials and demos.
- Prospective clients on the marketing site can get detailed answers about features, pricing, and security even outside business hours, leading to more qualified demo requests.
- Because every answer comes from the same up to date FAQ, the company now gives consistent, accurate information across chat, email, and the website.
