Fix your AI support agent from Slack.

Alex is Adelante's AI forward deployed engineer for teams running an AI support agent. When the bot gets something wrong, tell Alex like you'd tell a teammate. It works out why and fixes it, then shows you the fix working.

@Alex 3 EU customers got 'can't find your order' from the bot this morning. the orders are real. e.g. #20931, order EU-10482
AlexAI09:16
Pulled EU-10482. The agent ran the order lookup once and it only searched the US store. Zero matches, so it took the 'order not found' path and never looked in the EU store.

Replayed EU-10482 and it finds the order in the EU store now. All 14 automatic checks pass, the new one included. When the first live EU conversation comes in, send it over and I'll check that too.

What Alex does

The stuff that used to wait for an engineer.

01 / 06

“Why did the bot say that?”

Send Alex the ticket or a screenshot. It reads the whole conversation, checks what the bot looked up and tells you what actually went wrong.

02 / 06

“We changed the returns policy.”

Tell Alex what changed. It finds every place the old policy is written down and updates all of them, so the bot stops quoting the old one.

03 / 06

“The order lookup is broken.”

Alex follows the problem into the integration and fixes it there, even when that means changing code. Then it reruns the case that failed.

04 / 06

“Why are handoffs up this week?”

Alex reads the conversations and tells you what's driving it, with the numbers. There's usually one fix that matters most, and it tells you which.

05 / 06

“Hold that until legal signs off.”

Alex keeps track of what's pending. When legal says yes two days later, it picks the change back up without anyone explaining it again.

06 / 06

“Check next week if the fix held.”

Alex schedules the check, runs it once and posts the result in your channel, with the before and after.

@Alex why did the bot offer a refund on #20874? that one was already refunded
AlexAI14:04
Found it: The refund lookup came back 'refund pending' and the agent read that as no refund, so it offered a new one. The real refund went out Sep 24 and is still settling.

@Alex a retail customer asked about order 5120 and the bot quoted them a wholesale order with the same number. can't happen again

The lookup hits both stores and takes whichever answers first. This time wholesale won. Your agent only talks to retail customers, so I'd limit the lookup to the retail store. OK?

How it works

The questions CX leads ask us first.

01 / 04

“Can it see other companies' data?”

No. Every customer gets their own Alex, with its own memory and access. Yours only knows your agent and your setup.

02 / 04

“Will it change things on its own?”

No. Alex tells you what it wants to change and waits. Nothing goes live until someone on your team says yes.

03 / 04

“How do I know the fix worked?”

Alex reruns the ticket that failed and shows you the result. If something is still open, it says so in the same message.

04 / 04

“What if it can't fix something?”

Then it goes to Adelante's engineers, with the error and everything Alex already found. You don't have to chase anyone.

Get Alex

Two ways to get Alex.

Standalone

Alex for the agent you already run

If you already run your own AI support agent, Alex joins your team chat and takes the 'why did the bot do that' work off your engineers. On the demo we check what it can reach in your setup.

Included with Adelante

Alex inside the managed service

Adelante builds and runs your AI support agent, and Alex is how your team asks for changes. You tell it what needs to change, and we take care of the rest.

If you're already with Adelante, Alex is included. Tamir switches it on and adds it to your channel.

Alex FAQ

What teams ask before they let Alex in.

What is an AI forward deployed engineer?

A forward deployed engineer is the engineer a software company sends to sit with a customer's team and make the product work in their setup. Alex does that job as AI, from your team chat, on your support agent and the integrations around it.

Does Alex work with the support agent we already run?

Depends on your setup. Alex needs to read your agent's conversations and configuration, and to change what you ask it to. On the demo we go through your systems one by one and tell you straight which ones Alex can reach and which it can't.

What does onboarding involve?

One call to start, where we go through which agent you run and what it's connected to. Then we agree on what Alex may read and what it may change, and add it to your Slack channel or your WhatsApp or iMessage group. If you want more access later, you ask and we widen it.

Who controls what Alex changes?

Your team. Alex only changes the agent when someone in your channel asks, and only within the access you agreed to at onboarding. Anyone in the channel can ask for work inside that access. Nobody can widen it from the chat. That stays with Adelante.

Who in our team can use Alex, and in which language?

Anyone in the channel or group it joined, within the access your team agreed at onboarding. It answers in whatever language you write in, so a Hebrew question gets a Hebrew answer. Product names and ticket and order numbers stay exactly as you typed them.

Can Alex change integration code, or only the agent's text?

Both. It changes configuration and code in the custom integrations Adelante built for you, like an order lookup that suddenly has to cover a second store. Before it reports back it runs the integration's automatic checks and replays the ticket that kicked it off.

Can Alex send us a weekly report automatically?

Yes, if you ask for one. Nothing recurring runs by default. Ask for a Friday report and Alex confirms the time and the channel it'll post to. If scheduling fails, it tells you in the thread, so you're never waiting on a report that isn't coming.

Does Alex talk to our customers?

No. Your customers talk to your support agent. Alex talks to your team, about that agent, in your channel. It reads customer conversations when it's investigating something, and that's as close as it gets. It never writes to a customer or edits a ticket, and the channels your agent answers on are off limits to it.

How does Alex relate to Adelante?

Adelante builds and runs Alex. If you're on the managed service, Adelante runs your support agent and Alex is how your team asks for changes to it. Whatever sits outside Alex's reach goes to Adelante's engineers. On its own, Alex works on the agent you already run. Either way you get your own Alex.
