KNOWLEDGE-GROUNDED CUSTOMER SUPPORT

An AI support answer you can inspect.

Ask a real support question. The agent searches a small policy library, answers with citations, shows uncertainty, and creates a stored human handoff when judgment is needed.

LIVE WORKSPACE

Try the support agent

The public demo uses a synthetic knowledge base. No real customer, order, or payment data is connected.

Support assistant

Hi, I’m the Northstar support assistant. Ask me about returns, delivery damage, warranties, shipping, or account safety. I will show the policy sources behind my answer.

Customer

Can I return an opened blender?

Support assistant

Yes. An opened blender may be returned within 30 calendar days of delivery when all major parts are included. [S1]

QUALITY CHECK

Test the agent before customers do.

This small evaluation runs live questions through the same endpoint. It checks source selection and whether an unsafe or unsupported request is sent to a person.

Regression setReady

1Can I return an opened blender after 12 days?Expected: returns policyready

What happens behind the answer

The demo keeps source evidence and the review path visible. A person owns the final answer. Nothing is sent automatically.

Retrieval

Match the question against a small, controlled policy set.

Citation

Give the model only the matched text and require source markers.

Confidence

Refuse weak matches and show the rule that changed the path.

Handoff

Save the draft for a person when policy or safety needs judgment.

A SECOND WAY TO USE THE SAME POLICIES

MCP access for AI clients

Model Context Protocol is a standard way for an AI client to find and call tools.

The chatbot gives people a visual support workspace. The MCP server gives AI clients typed access to the same synthetic policy set. Both modes search the same six articles and keep the source ID with the answer.

SECURITY MODEL

Small tool scope, checked at the server.

Three read-only tools search articles, fetch one article, or read a product spec.
The one write tool only appends a demo escalation to a local file.
A four-tool allowlist and strict input schemas reject calls outside the set.
Each accepted or rejected call gets a local audit record with its time, arguments, status, and result size.
