What are AI Policies?

ai policies for customer support

At Kodif, we’re excited to announce the launch of Policies—a powerful, dynamic solution designed to revolutionize the way CX managers handle customer support. Unlike traditional flows, which are rigid and complex, Policies empower non-technical users to create and manage customer interactions with ease. Written in natural language, Policies make it simple to define and refine customer experiences without needing to rely on complicated flowcharts or scripting. This approach is not only user-friendly but also self-serve, enabling CX teams to quickly translate existing Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) into automation, saving valuable time and resources.

The flexibility of Kodif Policies ensures that businesses can offer personalized, context-driven support while continuously improving customer experiences. With Policies, you can experiment with different strategies to optimize outcomes such as CSAT, revenue, and retention—all without the need to rebuild complex workflows. Whether it’s automating routine interactions or testing new approaches for high-stakes scenarios, Policies provide a scalable, adaptable solution that aligns with your business goals. While flows still have their place in sensitive, high-risk situations, Policies offer an agile alternative that helps businesses innovate faster and deliver exceptional, tailored experiences at scale.

“Update email address” ticket type explained

In customer support, the “Update email address” ticket type refers to the process of changing the email address associated with a customer’s account. This is a common request as customers may need to update their email for various reasons, such as switching email providers, security concerns, or correcting errors in the original email address. Efficient handling of these requests is crucial as the email address is often the primary contact method for account-related notifications, order confirmations, and promotional communications. Ensuring a seamless update process helps maintain customer satisfaction and trust.
