FAQ + Help Desk Knowledge Agent

Replaces a $50k Help Desk Technician. Answers product questions from your own docs, 24/7.

The Problem

An SMB owner spends $50k/yr on a Help Desk Technician who answers the same 20 product + policy + how-to questions over and over from the company's own knowledge base, manuals, and PDF specs. The role is 65% lookup-and-paraphrase — exactly what a RAG agent does with citations the customer can verify.

The Outcome

Customer types a question into the website widget, Slack, or live chat → agent retrieves the relevant passage from your uploaded docs/manuals/wiki, drafts a cited answer in 3 seconds, posts directly if confidence > 0.85, otherwise routes to a human with the suggested draft attached.

Day in the Life

9:08am: 'how do I change my shipping address?' — agent pulls policy doc, replies with 4-step instructions + citation, no human touch

11:42am: 'does the X-200 work with 220V?' — agent retrieves spec sheet, drafts answer with confidence 0.78, routes to support team Slack with draft + source PDF

EOD: nightly re-index runs over Drive folder + Notion wiki — adds 6 new docs to the knowledge base, flags 2 stale articles for review
