Characters as a Service

An AI customer service employee handles post-purchase and support conversations: order and appointment status, policy and process questions, service scheduling, and issue intake. Its design goal is resolution or clean routing — not deflection metrics.

Deflection rate is a misleading metric: a conversation that ends without an answer counts as a success. CaaS service roles are configured against resolution and routing quality, so an unresolved conversation becomes a tracked escalation instead of a closed ticket.

AI service employees are strong on repeatable questions, status, scheduling and process. They are weak — and should defer — on disputes, emotional escalation, regulated advice and anything requiring judgement about an exception.

Yes, subject to the approved knowledge available in each language.
