OPERATIONAL PROOF

What teams usually improve after rollout

-80%

Lower repetitive load

Teams usually start by removing the repetitive questions that consume the most agent time, so humans can focus on billing, complaints, and high-value conversations.

< 10s

Faster first response

AI-first acknowledgement and routing help reduce initial wait time, especially on website chat and social channels where buyers expect near-instant replies.

100%

Cleaner human takeover

When conversations become sensitive or complex, assignment-state control keeps the handoff clean instead of forcing customers to restart from the beginning.

DIRECT OVERVIEW

Customer Support Staffing, Concurrency & SLA Calculator | Thunaivi

Unlike phone support where 1 agent handles 1 call, chat agents can handle 3 to 4 concurrent conversations. When you layer Thunaivi’s 80% RAG AI auto-resolution in front of your shared inbox, a 3-person team can comfortably manage the volume of a 15-person traditional call center with sub-2-second first response times.

Best for

Support Operations managers planning shift coverage and SLA targets across time zones.

Not best for

Teams that only need a static contact form and do not actively manage customer conversations.

Primary outcome

Reduce repetitive support workload while keeping human agents in control of complex, sensitive, or high-value conversations.
