Why do you need a Customer Support Agent?

Customers expect instant, accurate, and contextual support, whether it involves an order issue, billing question, or technical problem.
Traditional support teams face growing limitations when they must:
  • Answer repetitive questions such as “Where is my order?”
  • Scale during high-traffic periods or promotions
  • Maintain consistent and accurate responses
  • Switch across multiple systems such as CRM, ticketing tools, and knowledge bases
An AI agent connects these systems and provides a unified interface between your tools and your customers.

​
What problems does it solve?

Here’s what a Customer Support Agent can handle in practice:
ProblemWithout AIWith AI Agent
Repetitive queriesManual responses to FAQs and repetitive issuesAutomated instant replies with contextual understanding
Order trackingAgent checks systems manuallyAI fetches order details via APIs
Refunds/returnsSupport rep coordinates across systemsAI triggers refund workflows automatically
Knowledge searchSupport rep searches Knowledge Base (KB) manuallyAI retrieves relevant info instantly
EscalationsManual ticket taggingAI routes unresolved cases to human reps
The agent improves accuracy through continuous learning from interactions, reducing manual dependency over time. Once configured, your agent can:
  • Answer FAQs using your knowledge base
  • Fetch live data from your CRM or commerce systems
  • Trigger actions such as refunds or replacements
  • Escalate complex cases automatically
Setup completes within minutes without separate infrastructure or code orchestration.

​
AI customer support with internal knowledge base

Consider a SaaS company receiving hundreds of daily tickets from enterprise clients.
Typical queries include:
  • “How do I trigger an automation after a form submission?”
  • “Where can I find the API token?”
  • “How do I connect Slack to my workspace?”
Level-1 teams usually handle such cases by searching KB articles manually—slow and repetitive work. With Celesto, the support agent:
  1. Reads incoming queries
  2. Searches the knowledge base and recent resolutions
  3. Drafts precise replies citing KB sources
  4. Either suggests the response to a human agent or auto-responds for verified categories
This process maintains speed and accuracy while reducing manual involvement.
