An AI Customer-Service Assistant for a Basildon Business: Starting With the Questions You Always Get
If the town needs a guide to parking, buses and opening hours, your customers are asking you the same things.
To set up an AI customer-service assistant for a small business in Basildon, Dean Keating builds agents that answer common questions across email, web and WhatsApp, sort messages and hand the difficult ones to a person. He works remotely from Horndean, Hampshire. The first call is free. Call or WhatsApp 07418 627304.
Look at what this site already answers
Scroll through the guides on this directory and a pattern shows: parking, buses, train stations, opening hours, where to take the recycling, who to call about a pothole. Those pages exist because residents keep asking.
Your own customers do the same on a smaller scale. A shop in the Eastgate Shopping Centre, a garden centre in Wickford or a café in Laindon gets the same dozen questions week in, week out. A customer-service assistant is the thing that answers them.
What it does
His website lists answering common questions across email, web and WhatsApp; sorting and routing messages; sending updates, confirmations and reminders; and escalating to a person.
So in practice:
- A customer asks about delivery. The assistant answers using what you have told it.
- A customer asks something it cannot answer. It passes the message to you with the context.
- A customer needs an update. It sends one without you writing it.
The sensible way to build one
1. Collect the questions. Go through the last month of messages and list the repeats.
2. Write the answers once. Short, accurate and in your tone.
3. Mark what must go to a person. Refunds, complaints, anything legal.
4. Run it quietly first. Have it draft replies for a week while you check them.
Where it goes wrong
- Answers that are out of date. Someone must own the list.
- A tone that does not sound like you. Fix this in the first week.
- No route to a human. Always provide one.
