Why this matters for marketing agencies

Marketing agencies dealing with customer support face a familiar pattern: We can't answer every call, chat, and email fast enough. Client comms eat account-manager hours.

When not to use AI here

Do not use AI to replace licensed professional judgment, emergency triage, or binding quotes you cannot honor. Keep humans in the loop for edge cases, complaints, and anything that affects safety or compliance in marketing agencies.

  3. Day 3: Import FAQs, services, and hours specific to marketing agencies.
