Customer service automation and AI

Help customers find the right answer. And the right person.

Give routine questions a clearer route, organise the information behind your replies and keep human help within reach.

Free consultation · Rules-based setup from R4,500 · AI upgrade optional

For businesses answering the same questions

A useful response starts with a clear route.

Opening hours, booking instructions, service questions and requests for a person can arrive through the same inbox. A structured response flow helps customers take the next step and gives your team clearer context.

We start with the questions you actually receive, the business information you can maintain and the people responsible for exceptions. For example, a routine opening-hours question can use an approved answer; an unusual service request can route to a named team member. These are possible workflows, not claims of client results.

This is suited to owner-managed and operations-led businesses that want more consistent enquiry handling without treating every question as an AI project.

Choose the appropriate starting point

Structure first. AI when it helps.

The published Always-On Customer Service package starts at R4,500 for FAQ/contact routing or a rules-based response setup. A website and/or WhatsApp flow is included where technically appropriate to the agreed scope, alongside a human escalation path and organised business information.

An AI assistant is an optional, separately quoted upgrade. Model, API, platform and messaging charges are external costs, disclosed before setup. “Always-on” does not mean 24/7 human support or unlimited messaging.

If sales enquiries are being lost between capture and follow-up, explore CRM and lead automation. If the process needs investigation first, the optional R1,250 audit can help define one workflow.

Discuss customer service

From questions to a working flow

Agree the answers. Keep the exceptions visible.

Map the questions

Identify common requests, approved answers, responsible owners and the channels your customers use. Define what the flow must hand to a person.

Build within scope

Configure the agreed routing and response logic. Confirm platform support, access and external charges before adding any paid dependency.

Test the handover

Check routine questions, unsupported requests and human escalation. Document who maintains answers and how to change them after launch.

Implementation uses staged payments: 40% to begin, 40% at the agreed working-demo milestone and 20% before final launch and handover. Dates, scope and fees are confirmed in writing. Ongoing care is optional.

Before you choose

What should you expect?

Is an AI chatbot included in the starting price?

No. The starting scope is rules-based FAQ/contact routing or a structured response setup. An AI assistant upgrade and its external usage charges are quoted separately.

Can this work with WhatsApp?

Where technically appropriate, yes. We assess the account, platform capabilities and intended flow first. Messaging and platform charges are not included by default.

What happens when the system cannot answer?

We define a human escalation path in the agreed scope. Your team remains responsible for staffing and answering escalated requests; 24/7 human support is not included.

Do I need an audit first?

No. A clear brief can move directly from the free consultation to a written implementation quote. A focused paid audit is optional when the process or next step is unclear.
