We’ve all encountered chatbots in our day-to-day lives when looking up documentation or contacting customer support for tools we want to use, and most of the time, it’s not a great experience. But at Nutrient, we believe that great technology should make complex tasks simple, and that philosophy extends beyond our core products to how we support our customers. Over the past year, we’ve integrated AI-powered solutions into our customer-facing operations, fundamentally transforming how our users find answers and get help.
This post will cover how Nutrient leverages AI to deliver better, faster, and smarter customer support that keeps developers building instead of searching.
As our product suite has grown over the past years, so too has our documentation: We maintain extensive resources across multiple information sources, integration guides, troubleshooting documentation, and product-specific tutorials.
However, while comprehensive documentation is essential, it can lead to a problem: The more complete your documentation is, the harder it becomes for users to find exactly what they need. Our customers were spending valuable time navigating through documentation, and our Support team was fielding tickets that could often be resolved through existing resources, if only information could be found efficiently.
Our AI implementation is powered by Kapa AI(opens in a new tab), a platform specifically designed for technical documentation and customer support use cases. What makes Kapa particularly valuable for us is its ability to:
When implementing AI tooling into your product ecosystem, it’s important to target the areas where it’ll see the most impact and usage. Since our usage with the tool focuses on the customer-facing side, we’ve identified a few key customer touchpoints.
Our customer guides now feature AI-powered assistance that goes beyond traditional search functionality. Instead of requiring users to know exactly what to search for, our AI system:
This means a developer looking to “add a custom button to the toolbar in my JavaScript app” gets direct links to our Web SDK documentation, relevant code examples, and a summary of the key implementation steps — all without having to navigate through our entire documentation hierarchy.
The video below shows this in action!
Perhaps our most impactful implementation is in our support flow. Some say that the best support is the one where you don’t even need to contact the support team and wait for a response, but instead get a resolution to your question right away with zero wait time. When customers submit support tickets, our AI system now acts as a first line of intelligent assistance, which follows this process:
In contrast to wasting minutes typing long messages to a chatbot that oftentimes has limited knowledge before getting the option to even contact a real person, our approach requires only one extra button click, which could save you hours, while still ensuring you get accurate, documentation-backed solutions.
The eternal struggle of having internal documentation so vast that it could rival the knowledge of the library of Alexandria is the same as with external documentation. If there’s too much of it, it’s hard to find what you’re looking for. With the more than 100,000 support tickets we’ve received over the past years, it’s nearly impossible to find relevant tickets by utilizing conventional search engines. Instead, why not let AI take over this tiresome job? This allows us to:
While there’s always a healthy amount of skepticism in connection with AI tools in customer-facing areas, the results speak for themselves. Around 15 percent of tickets that would typically go directly to a support engineer are now resolved immediately via the impact of AI in our support ticket form, purely as self-service for the customer. While we pride ourselves on good reply times, a 30-second reply time is pretty hard to beat.
Furthermore, the 15 percent is measured across all tickets, so purely looking at ticket categories the AI can realistically handle (it can’t fix bugs or implement features… yet), this number is much higher in that context.
Beyond the self-service part of it also lies the advantage of getting assistance regarding the context of tickets and connectivity to internal tickets. This avoids duplicating work and results in a faster turnaround time and an overall better experience for our customers and the Support team.
AI isn’t just changing how we build products; it’s transforming how we support the people who use them. At Nutrient, our AI-powered customer experience initiatives have created a win-win scenario: Customers get faster, more accurate assistance, while our team can focus on delivering exceptional support for complex challenges.
The future of customer support isn’t about replacing human expertise with artificial intelligence. Rather, it’s about using AI to amplify human capabilities and create experiences that are both efficient and actually helpful.
As we continue to evolve our AI implementations, one thing remains constant: our commitment to making powerful technology accessible and ensuring our customers can achieve their goals with minimal friction.
