Executive summary
Support AI agents should start with high-volume intents, cite trusted knowledge, escalate gracefully, and report deflection quality. Unbounded agents that invent policies destroy trust faster than they save tickets.
Safe rollout pattern
- Audit top intents and unsafe topics
- Prepare knowledge with owners
- Pilot with human review
- Expand tools carefully
- Evaluate weekly with transcripts
