AI Customer Support with Kustomer
Kustomer takes a CRM-first approach to customer service. Instead of isolated tickets, every interaction is part of a continuous customer timeline. Agents see the full history: orders, returns, previous conversations, and custom data objects, all in one view. This context-rich model is ideal for e-commerce teams that want to deliver personalized support.
Minimal AI plugs into Kustomer's timeline model. The AI reads the customer's full history, checks your connected tools for live data, and responds with personalized answers. Because Kustomer already organizes data around the customer rather than the ticket, the AI has more context to work with than in any other helpdesk.
The AI Manager handles setup in a few clicks. Connect Kustomer, describe what the agent should do, and it starts resolving conversations with full customer context.
Connecting is effortless. The AI Manager sets everything up for you in minutes - no developers, no complex configuration.
What Kustomer does
Kustomer is a customer service CRM that organizes all interactions around the customer, not the ticket. Every email, chat, phone call, social media message, and custom event feeds into a single customer timeline. Agents see the complete picture: order history, previous conversations, browsing behavior, and custom objects. Kustomer's API provides access to customers, conversations, messages, custom objects (KObjects), business rules, and the timeline, enabling deep integration with external systems.

Real support scenarios the AI handles in Kustomer
Repeat customer with timeline context
A returning customer asks about an order. The AI reads their Kustomer timeline, sees three previous orders and a past return, and crafts a response that acknowledges their history while providing the current order status.
Subscription management
A subscriber contacts you about changing their plan. The AI checks the subscription KObject, sees the current plan and billing cycle, and explains the options with pricing details.
Cross-channel conversation
A customer started on chat, then followed up via email. The AI reads the unified timeline in Kustomer, picks up where the chat left off, and resolves the issue in the email reply.
VIP customer recognition
A high-value customer contacts support. The AI checks their customer attributes in Kustomer, recognizes the VIP segment, and provides priority handling with a tailored response.
