Summary written by usedby from the source page, in English. The figures are those of Zendesk AI and Best Egg, not ours.
- 20 percent“Best Egg's email automation rate jumped from about one percent to about 20 percent”
- 40 hours“We probably spend an hour a week spot-checking, versus the 40 hours a week before.”
That shift means Best Egg can support email tickets with just three people—instead of the roughly ten they would otherwise need. With Zendesk AI, agents now have more time to focus on delivering an exceptional customer experience. And with this increased productivity, Best Egg saves about $500,000 annually.
