MAYA AI SUPPORT ASSISTANT
AI-powered customer support system that answers customer questions, retrieves knowledge from business documentation, and escalates unresolved issues to human teams.
Maya AI Support Assistant
Overview
Maya is an AI-powered customer support assistant designed to provide instant, accurate, and scalable support for businesses. The system combines conversational AI, knowledge retrieval, workflow automation, and ticket management to resolve customer inquiries without requiring constant human intervention.
Instead of relying on static FAQ pages or manual support responses, Maya retrieves information from business documentation, generates contextual answers, and escalates unresolved issues when human assistance is required.
The project demonstrates how AI can automate frontline customer support while maintaining a high-quality customer experience.
