Han and Zeno's recently shared perspectives that changed how I’ve been thinking about Customer Support. It’s a concept from the lens of simple engineering. The key idea in the support analogy is that the ideal scenario is for customers to be able to self-serve and resolve their issues without needing to escalate to a human support agent. The "try block" represents the resources available for customers to help themselves, like documentation, FAQs, and AI-powered chatbots or virtual agents. To me, the "catch block" is escalating to a human agent when self-service fails. Seeing this in real-world parallels, Customer Support is like filing your taxes. The try block includes tax prep software, online guides, and chatbots that answer common questions. If you get stuck, you move to the catch block - hiring a CPA or visiting an IRS/CRA office. I imagine companies like Intuit think about taxpayer-friendly systems investing heavily in the try block for their customers, using AI to tailor guides to your specific situation, flag potential errors, and suggest deductions. By making the software as helpful as possible, a true Copilot – they reduce the need for costly human intervention. Optimizing the 'try' workflows is how award-winning AI Agents like Tico are able to achieve a constant 96% AI automation rate, and it can only be done by being able to configure your AI Agent, and it starts with #ConversationalAI. If you’re navigating high support volumes with a lean team, reach out and I'll show how you can help blend & configure AI automation with quality for your customers.
