Best use cases

Best use cases

Customer Support Agent

Support teams handle 60-80% of tickets that are repetitive FAQs, draining agent time and creating inconsistent responses. As ticket volume scales, hiring linearly is unsustainable and new agents take weeks to ramp up on product knowledge.

Open Guide

Research Assistant

Researchers spend 3-5 hours filtering through sources, cross-referencing claims, and organizing conclusions for a single research question. Manual synthesis is error-prone, sources get lost, and findings are hard to reproduce.

Open Guide

Document Processor

Organizations process thousands of documents monthly in mixed formats (PDF, scans, emails, images). Manual classification and data extraction introduces 5-15% error rates, 2-3 day processing delays, and scales linearly with headcount.

Open Guide

Knowledge Base Agent

Internal knowledge is scattered across Notion, Confluence, Google Drive, and Slack. Employees spend 20% of their week searching for information, and answers are inconsistent because no one knows which document is the current source of truth.
