Detailed Explanation
High deflection rates lower support payroll, reduce queue wait times, and allow human agents to focus on complex, high-value customer problems. CustomerGPT measures deflection by tracking conversations where the visitor's question was completely answered with high confidence and no human handoff was requested.
How It Works in CustomerGPT
CustomerGPT deflects the repetitive questions your indexed docs already answer. The rate you reach depends on your query mix and documentation coverage, so measure it during the 14-day trial instead of assuming a number.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a good ticket deflection rate for AI support?
There is no universal benchmark. The rate depends on how much of your tier-1 volume is repetitive and documented (FAQs, order tracking, billing policies) and on how strictly you define a deflection. Set your baseline in a pilot, then raise it by closing the documentation gaps the assistant reports.
