Will AI agents replace human support staff?

No, they complement human agents. AI handles routine inquiries (60-80% of tickets), freeing humans to focus on complex issues requiring empathy and judgment.

How accurate are AI support agents?

With proper setup and knowledge base integration, AI agents achieve 85-95% accuracy on common questions. They improve over time as they learn from interactions.

Can AI agents handle angry customers?

AI agents can detect sentiment and respond with empathy. However, they're typically configured to escalate frustrated customers to human agents for better outcomes.

How long does implementation take?

Most platforms can be deployed in 1-2 weeks. Initial setup includes connecting your knowledge base, configuring workflows, and training. Continuous optimization is ongoing.
