Run one AI agent across chat, email and social messages

A UK mattress retailer connected an AI agent across several support channels. The AI handles the bulk of conversations and only transfers a small number to staff, who can focus on personal service.

How to try it

  1. Connect all channels to one inbox first.
  2. Use the same knowledge base for every channel.
  3. Set clear handover rules (refunds, damaged goods, complaints go to humans).
  4. Count transfers to humans weekly; each one is a missing article.

⚠️ Watch out

Social replies are public; keep the AI to private messages.
