CUSTOMER SUPPORT

AI agent that judges semantic duplicate support threads before merging

When a duplicate is suspected, an AI agent reads both conversation transcripts, decides whether they are truly the same issue.

How it runs

The automated pipeline, trigger to output.

  • TriggerWebhook: candidate duplicate pair flaggedHTTP webhook
  • ActionFetch both transcripts from ZendeskZendeskZendesk
  • ActionAgent judges same-issue verdict + confidenceOpenAI
  • LogicBranch on confidence: auto-merge vs review
  • ActionMerge high-confidence pair in ZendeskZendeskZendesk
  • OutputFile uncertain pairs as Linear review taskLinearLinear

What it does

Goes beyond matching email addresses by having an AI agent actually read both transcripts and judge whether two threads describe the same underlying problem. Confident matches are merged automatically; ambiguous ones become a review task so nothing wrong gets stitched together.

When to use it

Use it when same-customer threads are sometimes about different problems, and naive identity matching would wrongly merge unrelated tickets.

How it works

  1. 1A webhook fires when an upstream detector flags two candidate threads.
  2. 2The flow fetches both full transcripts from Zendesk.
  3. 3An OpenAI step asks the agent to compare the issues and return a same-issue verdict with a confidence score and rationale.
  4. 4A logic branch routes the result: high confidence merges, low or medium confidence does not.
  5. 5High-confidence pairs are merged in Zendesk; everything else is filed as a Linear review task with the agent's rationale attached.
