Key takeaways
- Support is repetitive and answerable from your docs, so it's ideal to hand off to an agent.
- The safety rule: answer only from the docs, and escalate anything not clearly there.
- The real work is the docs, not the setup. Feed it the answers you are sick of typing.
- Escalation is the system working, sending only the few questions that need a human.
- Always escalate money, upset customers, and anything legal. Those calls need your judgment.
- Every escalation is a doc gap; answer it once, add it, and the agent handles it next time.

Questions people ask
Will the agent make up answers?
Not if you hold the rule: answer only from the docs, and escalate anything not clearly there. That single instruction is what stops invented policies, prices, and promises.
What happens to questions it can't answer?
It tells the customer it's checking and tags you. Those escalations are the point, so your attention goes only to what needs a human. In the morning you answer, then add it to the docs so the agent handles it next time.
What should I never let it handle?
Money decisions like refunds and billing, upset customers, and anything legal or a promise about the future. Put those in the brief as hard escalations. The agent gathers the details; the judgment call stays yours.
Do I need special help-desk software?
No. 1 Buzz channel, 1 agent, and your real docs are the desk. A canned FAQ bot only matches keywords, and a help-desk app is another subscription that still needs your docs. On Buzz you own the desk, and while Buzz is in early beta (as of early August 2026) the same pattern runs today in the Claude Code desktop app.
How good do my docs need to be?
Not perfect, just real. Your top 20 questions and answers, your policies, hours, and prices. If you've answered something by email 5 times, it belongs in the docs. Start with the questions you're sick of typing.
How do I know it's working?
The questions reaching you get fewer and harder. A quieter inbox with only genuinely new or judgment-call questions means it's doing its job. If everything still escalates, your docs are thin, so feed it more.
