AI support automation
Automate customer support with AI
Customer support is one of the most resource-intensive parts of running an ecommerce business. AI chatbots and automated responses handle common customer questions instantly, reducing support workload while improving response times. Starcodia implements AI support automation that scales your support capacity without scaling your team.
The support scaling challenge
Growing ecommerce brands face a support dilemma:
Volume increases with success. More orders mean more questions about shipping, returns, order status and products. Support workload grows faster than revenue.
Expectations are high. Customers expect instant responses. Slow support damages brand perception and reduces repeat purchases.
Repetitive questions dominate. Most support queries are variations of the same questions: Where is my order? How do I return this? What size should I get?
After-hours coverage is expensive. Global customers and timezone differences mean support requests arrive around the clock.
AI support automation addresses these challenges by handling routine queries instantly while reserving human agents for complex issues that require judgment and empathy.
AI support capabilities
Instant FAQ responses. AI answers common questions about shipping times, return policies, sizing, care instructions and more. Customers get immediate answers without waiting.
Order tracking and status. AI looks up order information and provides shipping updates directly in chat. No agent intervention needed for "where is my order" queries.
Product guidance. AI helps customers find products, compare options and understand features. Conversational product discovery that supplements site navigation.
Pre-purchase assistance. Answer sizing questions, product comparisons and stock queries that would otherwise require human support or result in abandoned purchases.
Smart escalation. When AI cannot help or detects frustration, it escalates to human agents with full conversation context. Agents see what was discussed and can continue without asking customers to repeat themselves.
24/7 availability. AI never sleeps. Customers get support outside business hours when human agents are unavailable.
