Response Coach

Real-time tone, accuracy, and compliance guidance for support reps as they type — fact-checked against your KB, not vibes.

The problem

New reps take 3-4 weeks to ramp because the cost of a wrong reply is high: hallucinated policy, off-brand tone, leaked refund authority, a sentence that violates a regulated-industry compliance posture. A response coach reads the rep's draft as they type and surfaces three things in a side panel: a tone rewrite suggestion if the draft reads curt or robotic, a fact-check against the KB and prior tickets if a claim is unsupported or contradicts policy, and a compliance flag if the draft contains language risk (HIPAA PHI, SOC 2 commitments not in the contract, financial advice outside scope, "guarantee" / "promise" wording legal hates). Same shape across Zendesk / Intercom / Freshdesk / Help Scout via embedded panel.

Typical leak: CSAT lift 8-15pp; new-rep ramp 3-4 weeks → 1-2 weeks; AHT compression of 12-20% on tier-1 reps; ~70% reduction in policy-error reopens

CSAT + new-rep ramp + reply quality

CSAT +8-15pp, ramp 3-4 weeks → 1-2 weeks, ~70% fewer policy-error reopens, AHT down 12-20% on tier-1
