(01)Challenge

Support agents spent most of each ticket searching for the right answer across docs, macros and old conversations — and answers varied by who picked up the ticket.

(02)Approach

  1. 01

    Built a hybrid retrieval pipeline (vector + keyword) with source citations on every sentence.

  2. 02

    Created an evaluation harness of 1,200 real tickets to measure accuracy before every release.

  3. 03

    Added guardrails for tone, PII redaction and confident refusal when sources are missing.

(03)Outcome

Agents review and send instead of search and write. Answers are consistent, cited, and measurably more accurate release over release.

(04)Architecture

How it's built.

A simplified view of the production system, following a request from the client through to the data layer.
