Summary
This webinar explains how to reduce repetitive support requests by choosing the right solution for each pattern.
Topic Detection reveals which questions appear most often, replacing assumptions with measurable conversation data.
Simple requests usually need clearer knowledge, while proactive messages and quick replies can guide customers who are unsure what to ask.
Workflows are best reserved for structured processes that collect information, apply conditions, or trigger an action.
AI Suggestions helps keep Hugo's answers accurate by finding missing, outdated, or unclear knowledge.
Integrations and MCP can add live customer or business data when static support content is not enough.
Main takeaways
- Measure recurring requests with Topic Detection before automating them.
- Improve knowledge first when a question only needs a clearer answer.
- Use proactive guidance to help customers express their intent.
- Build workflows for repeatable processes, not every recurring question.
- Connect live data only when the customer request depends on it.
- Review results regularly and improve the setup from real conversations.
