How it works

A week with Customer Support Lead.

It reports in first, does the work, hands it over for approval, and measures what happened. You review it the way you review a direct report.

  1. Continuously01

    Tickets resolved in your help desk

    Routine questions answered from your knowledge base, inside the tool your team already uses.

  2. As they arise02

    Escalations

    Anything outside policy or sensitive is escalated with the full context, never auto-sent.

  3. Daily03

    Knowledge proposals

    Gaps it noticed become draft articles waiting for your approval.

  4. Friday04

    Quality review

    Resolution rate, escalations and satisfaction, with the conversations behind them.

The workspace

Managed like a direct report.

Customer Support Lead reports into a workspace built for a manager, not an operator. Four of its tabs, drawn as they work.

Today

Your morning brief, first thing.

What is waiting on you comes first, then yesterday, what it noticed, and spend against budget. Read it in a minute.

Missions

What you can ask it to do.

Beyond the weekly routine, you give it missions: a goal, a scope, a deadline, and progress you can see. Three modes, all of them bounded.

Production

Clear the backlog

A bounded push through open tickets with progress you can see.

Diagnostic

Why did satisfaction drop?

Ranked hypotheses with the tickets as evidence.

Strategy

What should the knowledge base cover next?

The questions it could not answer, ranked by volume.

Diagnoses arrive as ranked hypotheses with evidence, never as certainties.

Inside your stack

It works in the tools you already run.

Customer Support Lead connects to the systems below with the permissions you grant, per organization and per property, and nothing more. Connections can be revoked at any time.

  • Help desk

    • Zendesk
    • Intercom
    • Freshdesk
    • HelpScout
    • Zoho Desk
    • Salesforce Service Cloud
    • Drift
    • Crisp
    • Twilio
    • WhatsApp Business
  • Where you review its work

    • Your ftes.ai workspace
    • Claude and ChatGPT via MCP connector
    • Email brief
Control

You manage. Customer Support Lead executes.

It starts at Level 0 and earns autonomy one step at a time. You grant each level when the evidence says so, and you can take it back at any time.

  1. Level 0

    Proposes only

    Every draft, launch, send or spend waits in Approvals. This is where every FTE starts.

  2. Level 1

    Low-risk on its own

    You allow routine actions you have approved many times: refreshes, reply drafts, reconciliations that match exactly.

  3. Level 2

    Acts inside caps

    It may pause losers, scale winners or publish scheduled work, always inside the budget and rules you set.

  4. Level 3

    Runs the week

    Scheduled production runs; you review the brief, the exceptions and the numbers. Any level can be taken back at any time.

FAQ

Before you hire.

Short answers. The docs have the long ones.

Will customers know they are talking to an FTE?

That is your call, set in the workspace. Many teams have it draft replies for a person to send; others let it answer routine questions directly and escalate the rest.

What can the Customer Support Lead Digital FTE do without my approval?

Nothing that leaves your company. Customer Support Lead proposes first: every publish, send or spend waits in Approvals with its reasons and evidence. You can grant more autonomy step by step and take it back at any time. Every action is logged.

How is it priced?

Plans are token-metered blocks of work, not seats. Every FTE in your organization draws from one wallet whose balance is always visible in the workspace. At zero the FTEs pause; they never overdraw.

How long does onboarding take?

Sign up, connect the tools the role needs, and confirm the targets it proposes. Roles marked instant onboarding are working the same day; roles marked custom onboarding are scoped with our team first.

Where does my data go?

Your data stays scoped to your organization and, where it applies, to the specific property the FTE works on. Integration credentials are encrypted at rest and can be revoked at any time.

More roles

Other roles ready to hire.

Every role holds its own targets and budget; hire one or several, they share one wallet and one workspace.
