Common problem
Support teams are overwhelmed by repetitive tickets that an LLM could handle, but building a reliable AI support layer requires integrating models, handling failures, and managing costs across thousands of daily interactions.
Common problem
Customer support demands near-perfect uptime because every minute of downtime means frustrated customers and growing ticket backlogs that take hours to clear.
Common problem
Support queries span a wide range: simple FAQ lookups, nuanced policy questions, and complex technical troubleshooting. A one-size-fits-all model either over-spends on simple queries or under-performs on hard ones.

How LLMWise helps

Intelligent routing matches each support query to the right model: fast, cheap models for FAQ deflection and powerful models for complex troubleshooting, reducing cost without sacrificing resolution quality.
Mesh failover with circuit breakers delivers near-perfect uptime for your AI support layer, automatically routing around provider outages so customers always get a response.
Judge mode lets you have one model evaluate another's draft response before sending it to the customer, adding a quality gate that catches incorrect or off-brand answers.
Detailed request logs with latency, cost, and token data let you measure AI support performance alongside your existing support KPIs like resolution time and deflection rate.

Integration path

  1. Classify incoming tickets by complexity using a lightweight LLMWise Chat request with a classification prompt. Route simple tickets to auto-response and complex ones to human agents with AI-drafted suggestions.
  2. For auto-responses, use Mesh mode with a cost-efficient primary model like Claude Haiku 4.5 and a quality fallback like Claude Sonnet 4.5. This keeps costs low while ensuring reliable output.
  3. For agent-assist drafts, use Compare or Judge mode to generate and evaluate response drafts. Agents see the AI suggestion alongside a quality score, speeding up their workflow without removing human oversight.
  4. Connect LLMWise usage data to your support analytics platform. Track deflection rate, average cost per resolved ticket, and AI confidence scores to continuously improve your support automation.
Example API call
POST /api/v1/chat
{
  "model": "auto",
  "messages": [
    {"role": "system", "content": "You are a helpful assistant."},
    {"role": "user", "content": "..."}
  ],
  "stream": true
}
Example workflow

A customer submits a ticket asking about a delayed shipment. The support platform sends the ticket text to LLMWise Chat mode with a classification prompt. Claude Haiku 4.5 classifies it as a simple order-status query in 150 milliseconds and returns a confidence score. The platform auto-responds with the tracking information pulled from the order system, costing 1 credit. Minutes later, another customer submits a complex billing dispute involving a partial refund and a promotional discount. The classifier routes this to the agent-assist pipeline, which uses Compare mode to generate draft responses from both GPT-5.2 and Claude Sonnet 4.5. The support agent sees both drafts side by side, selects the better one, makes a minor edit, and sends it — resolving a 15-minute task in under 3 minutes.

Why LLMWise for this use case

Customer support is uniquely demanding because it combines high volume, wide task variety, and zero tolerance for downtime. LLMWise addresses all three: Auto mode routes simple FAQ queries to fast cheap models and escalates complex issues to powerful reasoning models, Mesh failover ensures your support AI never goes offline during peak hours, and Judge mode adds a quality gate that catches off-brand or inaccurate responses before they reach customers. The result is lower cost per ticket, faster resolution times, and consistent support quality — without building a custom orchestration layer.

Common questions

Can LLMWise handle the volume of a large support operation?
Yes. LLMWise routes requests to provider APIs that handle millions of requests per day. Credit-based pricing scales linearly with your volume. For very high-volume operations, BYOK mode lets you use your own provider API keys with LLMWise orchestration at no additional per-token cost.
How do I ensure AI support responses are accurate and on-brand?
Use Judge mode to have a second model evaluate each response before it reaches the customer. Combine this with a detailed system prompt that includes your brand voice guidelines and knowledge base context. LLMWise logs every response so you can audit and refine over time.
What models work best for customer support?
For high-volume FAQ deflection, Claude Haiku 4.5 and DeepSeek V3 offer the best cost-to-quality ratio. For complex troubleshooting, GPT-5.2 and Claude Sonnet 4.5 provide deeper reasoning. LLMWise Auto mode selects the right model per query automatically.
How do I automate customer support with AI?
Start by classifying incoming tickets with a lightweight LLM call to determine complexity and intent. Route simple, high-confidence queries to auto-response using a cost-efficient model, and route complex queries to an agent-assist workflow where the AI drafts a response for human review. LLMWise makes this architecture straightforward: use Chat mode for classification, Mesh mode for reliable auto-responses, and Compare or Judge mode for quality-checked agent-assist drafts. The Usage API lets you track deflection rates and cost per resolved ticket.
Is LLMWise suitable for 24/7 customer support operations?
Yes. Mesh failover with circuit breakers ensures your AI support layer stays responsive around the clock, even during provider outages or maintenance windows. By configuring a fallback chain across multiple providers — for example Claude Haiku 4.5 to Gemini 3 Flash to DeepSeek V3 — you achieve near-perfect uptime. The circuit breaker detects failures within seconds and reroutes automatically, so customers never see a failed response during off-hours when human agents may not be available as backup.
