Step 1
Build Your Knowledge Base
Compile your FAQs, product docs, and common support tickets into a structured document or Notion database.
Step 2
Set Up an AI Responder
Connect the knowledge base to an AI chatbot using Zapier's ChatGPT integration. Configure it to only answer questions it's confident about.
Step 3
Create Escalation Logic
Use Make to build logic: if the AI confidence is low, or if the customer has used certain trigger words (refund, cancel, broken), route to a human agent.
Step 4
Draft Replies for Complex Cases
For cases routed to humans, use Claude to automatically draft a suggested reply based on the ticket and knowledge base, saving agents time.
Step 5
Analyze and Improve
Weekly, use ChatGPT to analyze your support ticket log for patterns and identify new FAQs to add to the knowledge base.
Time Required
4–6 hrs setup / ongoing
Expected Result
An AI-powered support flow that handles 40-60% of inbound questions automatically and drafts replies for the rest.
