24/7 email triage agent for e-commerce

Automated classification and first response on 2,000 daily customer care emails. Human team only intervenes on the most complex 25%.

Transparency note: The cases published here are technical implementation scenarios: internal PoCs, pilots with synthetic or anonymized data, and reference architectures. As real customer projects reach production, we replace them with named cases with permission.

The challenge

An e-commerce with 30,000 SKUs handled 2,000 daily customer care emails (order tracking, returns, size changes, complaints). Average response time was 8 hours, the team was burning out, and customers were frustrated.

Our solution

Multi-step agent built with LangGraph: reads every incoming email, classifies it by intent (tracking, return, complaint, general), retrieves order data from Shopify, composes a contextual response. Simple requests are answered directly. Complex ones get a draft assigned to the best-suited human operator.
