A reply at two AM is as good as one at two PM, and no one is on night shift to prove otherwise.

Teams kept headcount, but overtime and weekend cover reduced. If you need redundancies, we aren’t the vendor.
How it works
Four steps, and you can watch every one of them
There is no step where it decides something you cannot see afterwards. Every reply keeps the article it came from, and every handover keeps its reason.

Our queue hasn’t been above forty since March. The part I did not expect is that people stopped dreading Monday.
Dela Mensah
Head of Support, Northline
I read the first four hundred replies it sent. I have not read one since August, and CSAT went up, not down.

Support Manager, Two Rivers
We told it to hand over anything about money. It still closes two thirds of the queue on its own, and the third it passes over arrives with the history already attached.

The two weeks of shadow mode are what sold it. We read every draft before it went, and by the end we were arguing about commas, not about accuracy.

FAQ
The awkward questions first
Still have questions?
You’re in good hands from here.
Every reply keeps the help centre article it was written from, so a wrong answer is traceable in one click rather than a mystery. When it cannot source something it does not improvise — the conversation goes to a person with the context gathered and a draft written. For the first two weeks nothing sends without you.
Not from us. The teams running Lapse kept their headcount — what dropped was overtime, weekend cover and the Monday backlog. It takes the order-status half so your people get the half that needs judgement. If the business case is redundancies, we are the wrong vendor.
No, and it is usually the reason to start. It only answers what it can source from your articles, so a thin help centre means fewer automatic replies, never invented ones. The weekly gap report lists the questions that had no article behind them — a to-do list in the order your customers actually ask.
Sorting reads urgency and tone, so anything that reads as upset moves up the queue instead of waiting behind order-status questions. Those conversations go to a person with the history and a draft ready, not to a cheerful template. Your team keeps the hard ones; that is the point.
Day one is connecting the inbox and syncing the help centre. After that it runs in shadow: it drafts, you read and sign, and nothing reaches a customer without you. The replies you sign are what it learns your tone from, and at the end of the two weeks you switch on sending for the categories you trust.

Two weeks in shadow mode. Nothing sends without you.
