For technology & SaaS

Support more users with the same team.

SaaS and IT teams scale users far faster than headcount. We build AI agents that absorb the repetitive support inside your helpdesk, qualify inbound trials and demos, and keep product knowledge at everyone’s fingertips. The result is a lean team that supports a growing user base without the support queue or the roadmap paying for it.

The challenge

Users grow faster than the team behind them.

Support volume outruns hiring

How-to questions and account issues climb with every new customer, and you can’t hire support fast enough to match. Tickets pile up, first-response times slide, and the same handful of questions get answered over and over while genuinely hard problems wait in the same queue.

Ad-hoc requests swamp product

Sales and success ping engineering and product for answers all day, pulling them off the roadmap. Each interruption is small, but together they fragment the deep work your most expensive people are there to do and quietly slow down every release.

Inbound leaks out the bottom

Trials and demo requests sit unqualified, and the warm ones cool off before anyone follows up. Good-fit prospects who were ready to talk go quiet, and the team can’t tell the serious buyers from the tyre-kickers fast enough to act on it.

How we work

Live in weeks, not quarters.

    DiscoveryWeek 1

    We map your workflow on your real data and pick the highest-ROI use case to ship first.

  2. 02

    DesignWeek 1–2

    We design the agent around your tools and guardrails, and prove it on a working prototype.

  3. 03

    BuildWeek 2–4

    We build it as real engineering: integrated, tested, with logging and human escalation.

    We deploy into your stack, hand over the code and docs, and tune it live with your team.

Questions

Frequently asked questions

How is this different from the AI assistant our helpdesk already ships with?

Built-in helpdesk bots mostly surface help articles and deflect by search; they rarely resolve the ticket. Our agents read the conversation, reason over your docs and product behaviour, and take action or give a specific answer, then escalate cleanly when they should not. The measurable difference is resolution rate, not just deflection.

What if it gives a wrong technical answer to a customer?

It answers only from your own documentation and product knowledge, not free-floating general knowledge, and it is tuned to say it is unsure and escalate rather than guess. You start in draft or supervised mode so the team sees its answers before customers do, and we track accuracy on real tickets before widening autonomy. Confidence thresholds and escalation rules are yours to set.

How long until something is live?

A first use case, usually ticket deflection or the internal product helpdesk, is typically live in 2 to 4 weeks. We connect it to your real helpdesk and docs, pilot on a slice of live volume, and prove the numbers before expanding. You see it working on your own data early.

Will it integrate with our existing stack like Intercom, Zendesk or Slack?

Yes, we build on top of the tools you already use rather than asking you to switch. The agent works inside your helpdesk, chat and knowledge tools through their APIs, reads from your docs and product data, and routes to your existing escalation paths. If you have an unusual internal system, we can usually connect to it too.

What does a typical project cost?

Most teams start with one use case in the low thousands of euros to build, plus a monthly fee for hosting, model usage and tuning. Against the cost of additional support seats, slower releases or leaked trials, it pays back quickly. We scope the first project so the return is clear before you scale it across more workflows.

Do we own what you build, and how is customer data handled?

You own the prompts, workflows and integrations, and we document them so there is no lock-in. Data is processed on EU infrastructure under a data-processing agreement, scoped to only the systems each use case needs, and never used to train shared public models. You keep full control over retention and access.
