AI email support automation
Email is still where most support volume lives, and it is the slowest channel to work. Customers wait a day for an answer that is sitting in your help centre.
SupportAi gives each agent an inbound email address. Forward your support mailbox to it and the agent replies in minutes from your knowledge and live data, keeps the thread intact, and escalates anything it should not answer to your shared inbox.

- 3
Optionally set a custom from-name and reply-to
- 4

What you get
- Threaded replies that keep the conversation together
- Attachments extracted and used as context
- Draft mode: agent proposes, human approves
- Escalation rules identical to other channels
- Daily digest of email volume and topics
Routine emails answered in minutes
Order status, policy questions, how-to requests and appointment changes are answered from your content and actions. The reply looks like it came from your team, with your from-name and signature.
Draft mode for cautious teams
Not ready for fully automatic replies? Turn on draft mode. The agent writes the response, your team approves or edits from the inbox, and the reply goes out. Most teams switch to automatic for specific topics within a couple of weeks.
Escalation with the whole thread
Sentiment, keywords and repeated fallbacks route emails to a person with the full thread and any attachments. Replies from the inbox go back by email, and the agent resumes when you hand back.
Frequently asked questions
Yes. Set up a forwarding rule from your mailbox to the agent's address. No OAuth required.
