    But first, just to lay some ground for today's topic, let's look at some statistics about customer support, emailing, AI, and the combination of these things. Trust me, it’ll make sense why we look at these numbers in the end.
    An article by Hubspot collected many interesting facts about them:

    • 93% of customers use emails to engage with companies, followed by phone at 88%. (Salesforce Research)
    • 28.1% of companies use email to offer support to their customers, followed closely by phone. (KlausApp)

    • 44.5% of customer service pros plan to scale their customer experience operations by hiring more support reps and using AI (and automation) throughout the customer experience. (HubSpot, State of Customer Service)
    • Service professionals save more than 2 hours a day using generative AI to respond to customers quickly. (HubSpot, State of AI)
    • 64% of customer service reps who use AI say it helps them personalize their correspondences. (HubSpot, State of AI)

    See? If you implement AI into your emails in customer support, which is already highly recommended, you’ll fit right into these statistics. Let’s see how you can do that with SAAS First.

    Why Tone and Style Matter in Customer Support

    It might be a personal preference at times, however, there is a general idea at every company about how they should speak to their customers. What kind of voice they want to hit, the tone and style of the conversation…These are all very very important in customer support. But why does it matter if you can adjust the tone and style of your emails with AI in just seconds?

    Let me take a step back and introduce you to an interesting concept. An article by Saufter explained that when you mirror a customer’s tone, you can build instant rapport and put them into a more open state of mind. But why? We all know that there are two sides of the brain. The left side, the logical one, processes the words, and the right side, which is the creative one, is responsible for comprehending emotions and tones.

    So, basically, it’s not enough to have the right words to say, you also have to think about how you say them. The two sides should always be in perfect balance.

    If you can change the tone of your message to perfectly match the customer’s feelings, you’ll definitely find yourself in front of a satisfied customer, who got exactly what they needed. And AI is here to help you with this exact final move.

    Introduction to SAAS First’s Reply with AI Function

    If you have specific information you want included in your response, you can type a note directly into the reply box. This might be a key point, clarification, or detail that you want The AI to rephrase for you. However, if you don’t have any specific input, AI can still generate a response on its own by drawing from your company’s support Library.

    If you know the answer to the customer’s inquiry is already stored in your support Library, you can activate the Library feature. This allows AI to pull relevant information automatically, which will then be included in the answer. accurate, pre-approved details. You don’t need to write a note if you’re confident the Library has the right information.

    Before letting AI draft the reply, you can fine-tune the tone and style of the message to fit the specific situation. You can choose from the following options on 3 levels:

    • Formality: casual, neutral, or formal

    • Technicality: basic, intermediate, or advanced
