Sixty One Steps

Customer Support AI Agents

Customer support AI agents with clear human handoffs

Help your support team handle repeatable work while keeping people involved where judgement matters. We design AI support workflows for tasks such as finding approved information, drafting responses, organising tickets, and escalating questions.

OUR APPROACH

Start with your knowledge and escalation rules

Support automation depends on the quality of its knowledge sources and the rules that guide it.

Which information it may use

The approved sources an agent can draw on, and nothing else.

What it does when uncertain

A defined response when an answer isn’t clear, instead of a guess.

Which issues need a person

The requests that must always be answered by someone on your team.

WHAT A PILOT COVERS

A support pilot can cover

Classification and routing

Sorting tickets by type and urgency, and sending each to the right queue or person.

Draft replies

Suggested replies built only from your approved sources, ready for your team to review.

Escalation rules

Which issues always go to a person, and how sensitive or unresolved tickets are handed over.

Helpdesk integration

A plan for connecting the agent to your helpdesk and knowledge base.

Quality testing

Checking answer accuracy and handoff behaviour on real ticket examples before launch.

OUR PROCESS

Keep the team in control

We map the support workflow before selecting an implementation approach. The design defines what the agent can handle, when it should stop, and how your team can review and improve its output. Planning takes 1–2 weeks, and you see a live demo before you pay anything.

Practical AI, connected to your business

Sixty One Steps works across AI automation, custom software, and business-system integration. We start with your processes and existing tools, then define the data, rules, integrations, and human decisions an implementation requires.

FAQ

Got questions? We have answers

Will the agent answer every customer question?

No. The scope should define which questions are suitable for automation and when the agent should route a ticket to a person.

Can we review its answers before customers see them?

The workflow can be designed for human review, automatic handling within approved rules, or a combination of both.

Can you build the agent as well as design the workflow?

Yes. See custom AI agent development for how we design, test and deploy agents.

When do we pay?

You see a live demo before any payment.
