Automate repetitive emails AI projects fail when teams skip the content foundation. Macros and classifiers only know what you wrote down.
Catalog the top twenty intents
Pull exports from your helpdesk or inbox labels. If intents are fuzzy, fix taxonomy before you buy tools—this also improves knowledge base structure for AI.
Draft from the same articles customers see
Agents should not maintain a shadow wiki. Link internal SOPs to public articles. For SOP habits, read how to structure SOPs so AI can use them effectively.
Use AI where copy-paste hurts most
Refund eligibility, plan limits, and security questions need exact language. That is where grounded drafting beats paraphrasing—see AI helpdesk automation guide.
