Customer Support Copilot
2026-grade support copilot: intent routing to GPT-5.5 Instant / Claude Haiku 4.5, complex tickets escalate to Sonnet 4.6; MCP tools wire straight into Zendesk and Salesforce; advisor mode buys Opus-level judgment at Haiku price.
Challenge

Composite profile — North American digital bank support team
This composite profile models a North American digital bank consolidating 280M+ annual support interactions from four separate LLM integrations onto one routing layer. The replay benchmark shows token spend down 31%, P95 latency down 22%, and every routing decision exportable for audit review.
Key call: after intent classification, 80% of tickets go to Claude Haiku 4.5 (< $0.001/ticket), 15% escalate to GPT-5.5 Instant, 5% complex cases hand off to Sonnet 4.6. Advisor mode gives Haiku Opus-grade judgment on sensitive finance Q&A — at 1/30th the unit cost.
Composite-profile quote: “Before this architecture, the team maintained four SDKs, four observability stacks, and four fallback paths. The target state is one API, one trace view, one billing report, and savings that can be proven by replay.”

Implementation timeline (typical 4 weeks)
Get sk_test_ key, route 5 representative ticket types in sandbox, verify traces look right.
Configure intent classification → routing policy in console; wire up Zendesk MCP ticket lookup tool.
Roll 5% low-risk or mirrored traffic, diff traces vs baseline, tune fallback chain and budget caps.
Cut to 100% traffic, subscribe router.fallback_triggered to Slack #ops.
Real configuration example
Below is the routing-policy shape used for this composite profile. Each intent class binds goal × strategy × budget × fallback.
