What it is
Support workflows using AI for drafts and knowledge lookup—never for inventing policy or bypassing escalations.
Why it matters
Wrong support answers create chargebacks, safety issues, and churn. Groundedness beats clever tone.
How it works (plain)
May draft: replies from approved KB; rephrases; ticket summaries. Must human / tool: refunds, account changes, legal threats, self-harm, security incidents. Verify: KB citation IDs; customer identity per policy.
Everyday example
Bot suggests a reply with article link; agent confirms it matches the customer’s plan tier.
