Solo or lean small business owners are overwhelmed by customer support inquiries, which distract them from core operations and sales, yet ignoring them leads to negative reviews.

Existing support channels like phone and email are reactive and time-consuming, lacking automation to filter or answer common questions (e.g., order status, cancellation) without manual intervention.
