Built a support automation system that keeps helpdesk tickets and CRM records perfectly in sync.
When a customer opens a ticket, the workflow:
• Captures the request from the helpdesk
• Auto-tags priority and topic
• Creates/updates the CRM contact + case
• Alerts the right agent in Slack
• Closes the loop when the ticket is resolved
Stack: CRM · Zapier · Helpdesk · Slack
Impact:
• Response lag reduced by ~65%
• 100% of tickets auto-tagged
• Missed follow-ups nearly eliminated
• Support + sales always working from the same data
Great for growing teams that want faster support without losing CRM visibility.
AI Assistant Using Your Business Knowledge Base — RAG on Your Documents
THE PROBLEM
Q&A bots break down when knowledge lives in documents: a 100-page manual has no "questions" to match, it can't fit into a prompt, and generic chatbots hallucinate instead of admitting what they don't know.
THE SOLUTION
A RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) knowledge base: documents are split into meaningful chunks, embedded into a vector index, and the assistant answers from the right sections — by meaning, not keywords.
Any format as-is: PDF, DOCX, TXT, Markdown — 100+ pages is fine
Answers grounded in YOUR documents — it says "I don't have that information" rather than inventing
Source references — every answer shows which document and section it came from
Runs on your infrastructure — documents never leave your control
One command to re-index after updating documents — documented, no programmer needed
The 'I don't have that information' line is the part most RAG builds skip, and it's the one that matters. How do you set the cutoff? On mine, a fixed similarity threshold broke once I filtered results by user role. Scores shifted and it refused questions it could answer.
