What it does

Real-time matching catches pairs, but slow-burn duplicates accumulate across tools and days. This nightly sweep gathers every ticket created that day from both Zendesk and Front, embeds them, and groups near-identical reports into clusters. Instead of auto-merging across systems, it hands a triage lead a clean, ranked list to approve.

When to use it

When you run support across more than one tool and want a human checkpoint before merging. Ideal for catching duplicates that arrived hours apart or in different queues.

How it works

  1. 1A nightly schedule starts the run.
  2. 2The day's tickets are pulled from Zendesk and from Front.
  3. 3All ticket text is embedded with Hugging Face and stored in Postgres.
  4. 4A clustering step groups tickets whose vectors sit above the similarity threshold.
  5. 5A branch keeps only clusters with two or more members.
  6. 6A Slack digest lists each cluster with links and suggested canonical, ready for one-click approval.

Set it up

  6. 6
    Set each agent's modelWe leave models unset so you pick the tier — fast + cheap, or top-quality.
  7. 7
    Tune it to your dataEdit the prompts, filters, and field mappings so it matches how your team works.
