Tier-1 support that resolves 68% of tickets itself.

Builder’s support agent reads incoming tickets, classifies by issue type, pulls relevant help docs, and either resolves automatically or routes to the right teammate with a pre-drafted reply. Average first response drops from four hours to three minutes.

    Describe the task

    Builder can sit on your inbound support queue and handle the first pass on every ticket: read it, classify it, pull the relevant help docs, and either resolve it outright or route it to the right teammate with a reply already drafted. First response drops from hours to minutes because nothing waits for a human to triage it.

    The better your knowledge base and your routing rules, the more Builder resolves without a human. Give it the help docs, your routing map, and a clear line on what it must never auto-resolve, and it will handle the repetitive tickets while escalating the ones that genuinely need a person.

    Handle inbound tickets in the shared support queue. For each new ticket: - Classify it by issue type (billing, bug, how-to, account, other) - Pull the relevant articles from help-center/ and check if they resolve it - If a doc fully answers it, draft and send a reply and tag the ticket resolved - If it needs a human, route to the right person per routing-rules.md and attach a pre-drafted reply they can edit and send - Never auto-resolve anything touching refunds, cancellations, security or an angry customer, escalate those with a note Log what you did on each ticket and report auto-resolve rate and average first response by category.

    Give Builder context

    Connect Builder to the shared queue and point it at your help center and routing rules. It reads each ticket against the docs, so its answers stay grounded in what your team has actually published rather than improvised, and it hands off cleanly when the docs don’t cover the case.

    Your escalation boundaries are the most important input. Be explicit about what Builder must never resolve on its own, refunds, cancellations, security, anything from an upset customer, so the auto-resolve rate never comes at the cost of a bad call on a sensitive ticket.

    Required context
    Access to the inbound ticket queue (Zendesk, Intercom, or a shared inbox)
    A help center or doc set Builder can search, and a routing map for what goes to whom
    Optional context
    An explicit "never auto-resolve" list, so sensitive tickets always reach a human
    A tone or macro library, so drafted replies match your team’s existing voice
    A Slack connector, so escalations ping the right person instead of sitting in a queue
    routing-rules.mdhelp-center/Zendesk (optional)

    What Builder creates

    Builder works every incoming ticket the moment it lands, resolving the ones the docs cover and routing the rest with a reply already written. You get a much faster first response, a clean audit trail of what it did per ticket, and a breakdown of where the queue actually spends its time.

    From Builder: Processed 340 tickets over the last 24 hours from the shared support queue.

    Follow-up prompts

    Ping escalations in Slack

    With Slack connected, Builder tags the right teammate the moment a ticket routes to them, with the summary and draft reply inline, so nothing sensitive sits unseen in a queue.

    When a ticket routes to a human, post it in #support-escalations tagging the assignee, with the ticket summary, category, and the pre-drafted reply so they can act without opening Zendesk.

    Find the docs your queue is missing

    Builder can look across the tickets it couldn’t resolve and tell you which recurring questions have no help article, so you close the gaps that are driving avoidable volume.

    Look at the tickets that couldn’t be auto-resolved this week and list the top 5 recurring questions that have no matching help-center article, with a suggested title for each.

    Turn it into an always-on triage runbook

    Once the classification and routing are trustworthy, save it as a Builder saved runbook so every ticket gets the same first-pass treatment around the clock.

    Save this as a runbook called "tier-1-triage" and run it continuously on the shared queue, using help-center/ and routing-rules.md, and send me a daily summary at 9am.

    Tips and troubleshooting

    Guard the auto-resolve boundary hard

    A high auto-resolve rate is worthless if it closes a refund or a security ticket incorrectly. Give Builder an explicit never-resolve list and it will always route those to a human, keeping speed on the safe tickets and judgment on the risky ones.

    Keep the help center current

    Builder answers from your published docs, so a stale article becomes a stale reply. When it flags questions with no matching doc, that list is your highest-leverage content backlog, closing those gaps directly lifts the auto-resolve rate.

    Let it draft even when it routes

    Even for tickets a human must own, a pre-written reply saves the most time. Builder attaching a draft, complete with repro steps or a de-escalation note, means your team edits and sends instead of starting from a blank box.

  6. Ready to try it yourself?

    Point Builder at your queue, your docs and your routing rules, and it resolves the repetitive two-thirds of tickets in minutes while handing every sensitive one to the right human, pre-drafted.
