ContextHandoff for Chatbot-to-Human
Automatically puts chatbot-collected context into the human agent's ticket so customers never repeat themselves
- Problem
- Many teams run chatbot and helpdesk as two separate systems. The bot spends five minutes collecting the account, error, and steps already tried, then hands off to a human who opens with 'Hi, how can I help?' The customer has to repeat everything, and the agent starts from zero.
- Solution
- A lightweight middleware layer: a JS SDK/webhook on the chatbot side captures structured context (account, error code, attempted steps, screenshots) and converts it into standard helpdesk ticket fields and a conversation summary attached to the new ticket. Ships with field-mapping templates for Zendesk, Freshdesk, and Intercom.
- Users
- Small and mid-size SaaS support teams that already use a chatbot and a third-party helpdesk
- MVP
- Embeddable JS SDK to collect key-value context; webhook to push context into helpdesk ticket creation; built-in field mapping templates for 3 major helpdesks; show original chat summary in the agent's ticket sidebar; a simple mapping config admin.
- Revenue
- Subscription based on ticket volume or seats; free up to 100 tickets/month, team plan from $29/month; offer self-hosted one-time license.
- Why now
- Chatbot deployment costs have plummeted, so many small teams have bots but haven't connected them to their helpdesk. The AI-to-human handoff is a visible pain point, and big helpdesk vendors won't build deep customizations for small teams.
