Honestly, having spent a huge chunk of my career in customer support, 80%+ of the tickets could be solved with a script and not need an AI. Just about every company has a catalog of macros for answering support tickets and once you have a good set, 80% of people just need you to send them a link to the support article where you actually already answered their question in great detail, if they'd bothered to look for it.

This makes sense. Early on most of our support requests were for routine things eg login issues, but now it’s more complex: “this new genAI feature did this weird thing”
