The Problem: Support Emails Take Forever
You know the feeling. Open your inbox, see 47 unread support emails. Each one needs a thoughtful, personalized response. Each one takes 5-10 minutes to write properly.
That's 4-8 hours of your day. Every day.
And you're not even getting to the product work, the marketing, the actual building of your business.
The Solution: AI That Drafts Replies For You
ElkDesk's AI reply generator changes the equation:
- Customer sends email → Email arrives in your inbox
- AI analyzes instantly → Understands question, checks knowledge base
- Draft appears → Professional response ready in seconds
- You review + send → Quick edit if needed, one click to send
Those 47 emails? Now they take 45 minutes instead of 4 hours.
How It Works In Practice
Step 1: Email Arrives
A customer writes:
"Hi, I purchased your Pro plan last week but I'm not seeing the advanced analytics feature. Is this included or do I need to upgrade further?"
Step 2: AI Analyzes
ElkDesk's AI instantly:
- Identifies this as a feature/access question
- Checks your knowledge base for Pro plan features
- Notes the customer's purchase was "last week"
- Determines appropriate tone (helpful, reassuring)
Step 3: Draft Appears
Within seconds, you see:
"Hi there,
Thanks for reaching out! Yes, advanced analytics is definitely included with your Pro plan.
The feature can be found in your dashboard under Settings → Analytics → Advanced. If you purchased last week, you should have full access already.
If you're not seeing it there, it's possible we need to refresh your account permissions. Let me know and I can look into this for you right away.
Best, [Your name]"
Step 4: Review + Send
You scan the response, maybe add a personal touch, and send. Total time: 30 seconds instead of 5 minutes.
