Methodology
A scripted bot deflects tickets, not problems
Rule-based chatbots bounce customers around and escalate everything hard. Our AI drafts a context-aware reply to each routine contact for one-click send, keeps the full thread history, and escalates with intent when judgment is needed.
Scripted chatbot
- Follows rigid decision trees
- No memory of the conversation so far
- Escalates anything off-script
- Deflects the ticket without solving the problem
Intellimark Front Desk
- Drafts AI replies to routine contacts for one-click send
- Keeps full context within each conversation thread
- Escalates to humans with full history and intent
- Tracks resolution time, response time, and AI message share in real time

Common
questions
What is Front Desk? +
A deployed AI service agent that resolves routine customer conversations end to end and escalates with context when a human is needed.
How is it different from a chatbot? +
Chatbots deflect. Front Desk resolves, escalates with full context, and learns from every contact, so resolution rates actually move.
Where do humans fit? +
At the contacts where money, emotion, or ambiguity are highest. The agent handles routine volume and hands the rest over fully briefed.
What do you get? +
A deployed customer-facing service agent, higher first-contact resolution and deflection, context-rich human handoffs, and live conversation and SLA analytics.
