What is a customer service agent?

It means the mechanism or system by which AI handles the first response to customer enquiries and support requests. Combining chatbots, automatic email replies and ticket management, it answers questions quickly and accurately.
Common questions, opening hours, pricing, bookings, how to use a product, are automated, while anything complex is passed to a person, so nothing is missed. That raises customer satisfaction and makes support work more efficient at the same time.
It is used not only for customers but for answering questions from staff internally.
Because the sources the AI answers from can be limited to information you manage yourself, it has accuracy and reliability equal to a human answer.
Using a CRM-connected tool such as HubSpot Service Hub lets you hold customer information and the history of each conversation in one place, and respond in a personalised way.

AI across the whole of customer service

For companies offering a service that needs customer support,
and for training and sharing knowledge internally.

Case studies: Customer service agents in practice

Breeze made communication more efficient, handling
more than 200% of what the team could manage.

Customer service agents in practice: the effect
Capacity up 200%

As the business grew, the support team needed to handle more and to standardise quality. But recruitment and retention were unsteady and the resource could not be secured. Introducing a customer service agent delivered fast first responses at a consistent quality, and lightened the load on the support team.

Response time down 30%. Support staff retention up 63%

Rapid growth brought mounting problems in managing customer enquiries. As the volume rose sharply, staff struggled to keep up with demand and to keep communication consistent. Streamlining the exchanges with customers improved both the efficiency of the service and customer satisfaction.

    A HubSpot certified Diamond Partner,
    supporting you from build to ongoing improvement

    We are versed not only in customer support but in marketing automation, sales force automation and CRM.
    Professional operators draw on extensive implementation and operating experience and on specialist knowledge to deliver customer success using customer service agents.

  • Not implement and finish: continuous operation that trains the AI

    With a customer service agent, implementation is where it really begins.
    We analyse how the agent is performing after launch, where the knowledge gaps are and how satisfied customers are, and improve the operation.

    Support structures and KPIs differ by company. Rather than a packaged menu we provide a bespoke operating plan from what we hear, covering only the scope of work you need.

About our customer service agent build and management service

Frequently asked questions

  • We do not use HubSpot

    There is no need to worry. We start from what HubSpot is and what it does, and set out the right plan for your business model and your situation.

  • Can we use it in our existing HubSpot environment?

    Yes. You need to be on the Professional plan or above for one of the HubSpot products. We support you in choosing the plan and in implementing the agent.

  • We have no customer support team or person

    There is no need to worry. A customer service agent helps customers resolve their own questions. Even without a dedicated support person, the agent resolves most enquiries.
    We are glad to explain what it does, how it looks and how others use it. Please do get in touch.

  • How accurate are the AI's answers?

    It generates answers in a tone matched to your brand, based on what it has learned. Because what it learns can be your own content, documents and web pages, rather than outside sources, the accuracy improves over time.
    Please do get in touch. We can explain how the accuracy is improved in detail.

  • Can you work in any industry?

    Yes, it can be used across many industries, including SaaS, retail, manufacturing, staffing and e-commerce.

  • How long does it take to build?

    HubSpot's customer service agent is very easy to adopt, and the initial setup takes a few hours.

  • Will you improve and tune it after go-live?

    Yes. There is no need to worry even if you have no dedicated administrator.

  • Can it be used for internal questions too?

    Yes, it can be used for internal questions as well as customer enquiries.

  • How is the effect measured?

    Using measures such as the reduction in response time, the number of enquiries missed, and customer satisfaction.

  • What about security?

    The service runs within HubSpot's robust environment, so you can use it with confidence.

The advantages and disadvantages of automating customer service

Advantages
The greatest benefit of automating customer service with an agent is speed and efficiency. Chatbots and automatic replies make an immediate response possible around the clock, every day, which raises customer satisfaction. Handling FAQs, bookings and common enquiries automatically also lets your people concentrate on complex, higher-value work, greatly reducing the load.
And because the answers and customer behaviour accumulate as data, they can be put to work in marketing and selling. Quality becomes consistent, and the work no longer depends on individuals.

Disadvantages
There are disadvantages too.
First, where a case is complex or emotional, or calls for fine judgement, automatic answers alone can fall short. The balance matters: leave the basics to AI and have people handle anything complex.
And while the initial build with HubSpot's customer service agent is straightforward, there is a cost, and regular tuning is needed after go-live. If the scenarios and the knowledge are not kept up to date, wrong or inaccurate answers follow, which can damage customer satisfaction.

What is Service Hub? The HubSpot product
often used alongside customer service agents

Service Hub is HubSpot's platform for customer service, with features aimed at making support work more efficient and raising customer satisfaction.
Enquiries from several channels, email, chat, forms, are managed in one place, so nothing is missed and nothing is handled twice. Its main features include chatbots for real-time responses, tickets to organise enquiries, a knowledge base that lets customers resolve problems themselves, and surveys that measure satisfaction.
Connected to CRM and to marketing and sales automation, it also lets you respond in a personalised way while referring to a customer's purchase history and past conversations. Sharing data with marketing and sales in one environment means the customer experience can be improved as a whole. Combined with a customer service agent, it automates the first response while raising the quality of the human response.
