Customer support with the Fin AI agent, which resolves routine customer questions on its own.
Customer support agent
ShrinkingAI agents increasingly resolve routine customer questions by chat and by phone, so fewer people are needed on the front line. People keep the complicated cases, the conflicts and quality control of the bot's answers.

What changes
Simple questions about an order, payment or shipping get closed by an AI agent without a person.
The agent gets a ticket that already comes with a short summary and a draft reply.
There's new work in training the bot: the knowledge base, reviewing mistakes and the rules for handing off to a person.
AI drafts, the person decides
How the work splits here: AI prepares a draft, the person checks it and makes the call.
