> "can you look at commslayer the last 30 days and tell me how many tickets our AI agent resolved, what the most common reasons for her passing tickets onto real agents are and how we could update things to be able to be able to resolve these tickets herself"
>
> It went through looked at all the tickets, made recommendations, updated the AI agent guidance and actions all in like 5 minutes
>
> This will mean our AI agent will be able to resolve around 19,000 more tickets per month alone"

## Run and configure your helpdesk through MCP

- Search the full support history: Pull up any conversation by status, channel, label, date, or what was said inside it — across every ticket the inbox has ever handled.
- Reply, assign, label, snooze, and resolve tickets: Work the queue from the chat window: send the reply, hand the ticket to a teammate or a team, tag it, put it to sleep, or close it.
- Pull Shopify order, customer, product, and subscription context: Read the order, the customer, the catalog, and the subscription behind a ticket. Shopify data is read-only through MCP — refunds, cancellations, and order edits stay inside the helpdesk.
- Run support and AI reports in plain language: Ask for volume, response times, CSAT, contact reasons, or how the AI agent is doing, and get the same numbers the reports page shows.
- Manage customers, notes, fields, labels, and teams: Update a contact, leave an internal note, add a custom field, rename a label, or check who sits on which team.
- Manage help articles, categories, portals, and saved replies: Write and edit the help center, sort it into categories, set up a portal, and keep canned responses current.
- Configure and test the AI agent: Change the agent’s settings, guidance, response examples, and actions — then run the change through the playground before a customer meets it.
- Find and close AI knowledge gaps: See the questions the agent could not answer, write the answer it was missing, and mark the gap closed.
- Build macros, automations, and webhook actions: Assemble a macro, set an automation rule, or point a custom action at your own endpoint — and test it from the same chat.

## Use cases

- Spot repetitive questions: Review conversation patterns to identify common issues worth automating or documenting.
- Build your help center: Convert support threads into articles. Your team’s answers become searchable knowledge.
- Audit AI knowledge: Check for conflicts across guidance, canned responses, and help articles. Keep your AI consistent.
- Find ad hooks from comments: Pull real customer words. Use their exact language in ads, landing pages, and product descriptions.
