Customer Support AI Employee

Assist customers by recommending products, answering their questions, and providing post-sales support.

Overview

Ema's Customer Support AI Employee provides seamless, conversational assistance to your customers during and after purchase. It can be hosted on your website or app to troubleshoot issues, answer product questions, and automate post-sales support -- all while responding naturally to small talk and guiding users with empathy and efficiency.

This workflow is instantiated by copy, so any updates to the template will not retroactively change existing AI Employees built from it.

Key Features

  • Seamless, multi-turn conversations -- Understands customer intent and context to provide personalized, dynamic responses.
  • Smart knowledge base search -- Simply provide your helpdesk URLs or knowledge base articles and the AI Employee can search over them.
  • Feedback and escalations -- Asks for user feedback and allows you to configure escalation paths for negative feedback.
  • Web widget (SDK) to host on your website -- Customize to your brand colors and guidelines and go live in a few easy steps.
  • Trusted AI that keeps you in control -- Grounded in your data and policies, ensuring transparency, compliance, and adherence to your SOPs.
