How We Automated 80% of Customer Support Emails (Without Hiring Anyone)

Support emails will eat your entire morning if you let them. What starts as 10 emails becomes 40. Suddenly you're spending 2 hours a day in your inbox instead of building your business. And it only grows with your customer base—whether you're ready or not.

We built AI Support Agent to fix this for ourselves first, then packaged it for everyone else.

Why Most "AI Support" Fails

Most AI support solutions auto-reply with robotic responses that miss context and frustrate customers. You've seen them: generic answers, chatbots that loop forever, copy that sounds like it was written by a machine. Customers hate it.

The opposite—fully manual support—doesn't scale. So what's the answer?

The Middle Ground: AI Drafts, You Approve

AI Support Agent handles 80% of the work while you keep 100% control:

  1. Customer sends email → System captures it
  2. AI analyzes → Searches your knowledge base
  3. High confidence? → Creates a draft for your review
  4. Low confidence? → Escalates to you via Telegram with context

You're not removing yourself. You're removing the repetitive work of reading every email from scratch, searching for answers, and writing the same responses over and over.

What This Actually Looks Like

Before AI Support Agent:

  • Wake up to 23 support emails
  • Spend 2 hours reading, researching, responding
  • Finally start actual work at 11am

After:

  • 18 emails have draft responses ready (3 minutes to review)
  • 5 escalated to Telegram with AI summaries
  • Done in 20 minutes, working by 9am

That's 90 minutes back every single day.

Real Examples

High Confidence (Draft Ready)

Customer asks: "What's your refund policy?"

AI drafts: "Hi! Our refund policy allows returns within 30 days for unused items. Reply with your order number and I'll get that started."

You: Review, send. 10 seconds.

Low Confidence (Escalated)

Customer says: "I ordered blue but got green and I'm leaving for vacation tomorrow"

Telegram alert: "🚨 Order mismatch + time-sensitive. Confidence: 0.4"

You: Handle personally with full context already provided.

The AI knows its limits. That's the key.

Who This Is For

  • E-commerce handling order/refund questions
  • SaaS founders handling bugs and feature requests
  • Service businesses quoting and booking
  • Anyone answering the same emails repeatedly

Who This Isn't For

  • High-touch sales
  • Regulated industries
  • Fewer than 5 emails/day

What You Get

Standard ($49): Gmail + Outlook workflows, knowledge base integration, Telegram alerts, Google Sheets logging

Pro ($99): Everything above + PostgreSQL logging, Telegram Response Handler (reply to escalations directly from Telegram)

Both one-time purchases. No subscriptions.

The Math

Hiring a VA: $600-1,000/month

Your time: 2 hours/day × your hourly rate

AI Support Agent: $49-99 once

Pays for itself in the first week.

What It Won't Do

  • Auto-send without your approval (unless you enable it)
  • Handle phone or chat (email only)
  • Replace all human interaction (complex issues still need you)

It's a tool, not a replacement. Handles the repetitive 80% so you can focus on the important 20%.

Getting Started

  1. Import workflows into n8n
  2. Connect your credentials (Gmail/Outlook, OpenAI, Pinecone)
  3. Add your knowledge base and go live

Most people are running within 1-2 hours.


If you're getting 10+ support emails a day and still answering them manually, you're leaving hours on the table every week.

AI Support Agent

AI drafts responses. You keep control. Save hours every day.
