Can AI answer my customer emails?
Yes, as drafts you review. Give it your policies and the customer's message, and it writes a friendly, accurate reply. Don't let it send automatically without checks.
01Why bot
- Polite, clear replies are easy for AI.
- Grounding it in your written policies keeps answers accurate.
- Unchecked auto-replies can promise things you don't offer.

Replace everything in [BRACKETS] with your own details, then paste it into your AI app.
