Our summary

This guide shows how to organize a busy customer support inbox using Jev, an AI tool that chooses from a list of options instead of writing an answer. Businesses use this to automatically send incoming messages to specific teams, like billing, sales, or technical support.

The software reads a message and scores how well it fits each department. If a customer asks about a refund, the billing score is very high. If a message is confusing and fits two different teams, the scores split, which signals that a human should step in.

This method is useful for customer service teams, but it has limits. The tool will only pick one department per message, even if a customer asks two different questions. Also, the numbers shown in this specific guide are just examples to teach the concept, not real test results.

Key takeaways

  1. Always include an other option and write clear descriptions for each of your departments.
  2. Look at the scores for every option to see if the AI was stuck between two teams.
  3. Set up your software to ask a person for help when the AI is not confident.

The numbers shown in the guide are hand-written examples used for teaching, not actual results from live testing. The site does not currently offer live testing for this tool.
