The fix
How Replyze fixes it
AI absorbs the repetitive bulk of peak volume
Peak volume is mostly the same handful of repeated pre-sale and policy questions — perfect AI territory. Your team only sees the actually-complicated remainder.
Decide before the peak what goes to people
There's no confidence dial to turn: the AI answers from your articles, says when it doesn't know, and hands chats to your team when the visitor asks or the topic is one your setup sends to people. Before the rush, check those topics and write the articles for the questions you expect.
Alerts for the chats that need a person
With the AI answering the routine questions, your team is alerted when a chat is handed over, in the app, by email and by push notification, and picks it up from one shared inbox with everything said so far.
Peak answers written before the peak
Add articles for the questions you expect, such as delivery cut-off dates, the holiday returns window or launch details, before the rush. The AI answers from them as soon as they're published, and you can update them during the peak.
What to expect
What changes in the first weeks
The AI absorbs the repetitive surge, so your team works on the chats that need a person.
Team burnout cycle broken: peak ends, people are tired but not destroyed.
After the peak, the 'where's my order?' and returns-policy questions your articles cover still get answered at once.
FAQ
Common questions
Not covered here? Ask in the chat on this page. It's the real Replyze widget: the AI answers right away, and our team picks up anything it can't.
Two weeks out is the right window for structural prep — auditing top questions, tightening AI rules, setting the rotation. The week before is too late for the high-leverage stuff.
Not with a dial: Replyze doesn't hand chats over on low confidence. The AI answers from your articles, says when it doesn't know, and the visitor can tap 'Talk to an agent' at any time; topics your industry setup sends to the team go there automatically. The useful prep is writing articles for the questions you expect, so fewer chats need a person in the first place.
Don't disband the prep early. The week after a sale event brings a second wave, mostly post-purchase questions (where's my order, return policy). The AI handles the repeated policy questions (returns, delivery timelines, tracking help) from your own content; account-specific ones still go to your team.
Maybe — for a contractor at part-time hours (10-15 hours/week) it can pay back, but only if you've already done the AI + workflow prep. Without those, an extra human just hits the same overwhelmed system at a higher cost.
How many chats are waiting for a reply from your team, and for how long. If that number keeps climbing through the day, your rotation isn't keeping up.
