Orbit Support

A production AI agent embedded in Orbit's Zendesk. It reads the ticket, searches the docs and past resolutions, drafts a reply, and either sends it or hands off to a human with the context pre-written.

The challenge

What we walked into.

Orbit's support team was drowning: 1,400 tickets a week, 18-hour first response, and three agents on the verge of quitting. They had tried an off-the-shelf AI plugin that made things worse by confidently answering wrong.

What we did

The approach.

  1. 01

    Built a RAG layer over their docs, past tickets, and product changelog — cited sources in every draft reply.

  2. 02

    Wrote a confidence router: high-confidence answers auto-send, medium-confidence go to human draft, low-confidence never touches the customer.

  3. 03

    Set up a golden-set eval suite that runs every deploy so regressions get caught before production.

  4. 04

    Added a cost dashboard so Orbit knows per-ticket spend and can cap it.

The outcome

What actually changed.

The difference is the confidence router. It will not pretend to know. That is why our team trusts it — and why CSAT went up, not down.
