Answer

Direct Response

Modern startups train AI models on decades of historical customer interactions and complaints. These agents don't just provide "canned" responses; they understand the nuances of the **"surgical pain"** the user is feeling. They can resolve issues instantly or triage them to the correct specialist squad, ensuring that support feels like a conversation rather than a tutorial.

Detailed Explanation

Munawar explains the mechanics of AI-augmented support:

Practical Application

Treat your historical support data as your most valuable asset. Feed it into an LLM and build a "Customer Ritual" agent. Your goal shouldn't be to "close tickets," but to "resolve pains" at scale. If your support still feels like a tutorial, you are losing users to the Invisible Factory.

Expert Insight

"Efficiency in support isn't about how fast you reply; it's about how much friction you remove from the user's journey. AI is the ultimate wrench for unbuilding support hurdles."
