Reducing Ticket Load with Auto-Healing AI Support Agents

Executive Summary

A global connectivity company faced overwhelming Tier-1 ticket volumes caused by recurring Wi-Fi and router issues. AutomataWorks built an auto-healing agent that identifies, diagnoses, and resolves common issues autonomously — reducing load on human agents and improving customer experience.

Client Background

The client supports millions of consumer and small-business Wi-Fi devices. Their support center was receiving tens of thousands of repetitive tickets monthly.

The Challenge

Support leadership highlighted:

  1. High ticket volume driven by simple, repetitive issues
  2. Slow resolution time as human agents manually checked diagnostics

Customer frustration from long wait times and inconsistent troubleshooting

The Solution — Auto-Healing Diagnostic Agent

AutomataWorks deployed an agentic diagnostic system integrated into their existing support workflows:

  • Pulls device telemetry and historical logs
  • Identifies patterns like low signal, backhaul issues, or config drift
  • Executes safe remedial actions (restart, reprovision, channel adjust)
  • Updates support tickets with full resolution trace
  • Escalates complex cases with context to Tier-2

Enterprise guardrails ensure the agent executes only approved actions with rollback capability.

How It Works

  1. Ticket Classification
    Incoming tickets are analyzed for symptoms and mapped to known issue patterns.
  2. Telemetry Pull
    The agent retrieves router logs, signal levels, mesh topology health, and connectivity metrics.
  3. Diagnosis & Decisioning
    Root cause detected using a rule-augmented LLM reasoning stack.
  4. Auto-Heal or Escalate
    If safe: agent fixes the issue.
    If risk detected: agent escalates with a summary for human review.

Results & Impact

After deployment:

  • 40% of repeat issues resolved autonomously
  • 50%+ faster ticket turnaround
  • Reduced escalations to higher-tier teams
  • Higher customer satisfaction, fewer callbacks

The system now handles thousands of issues monthly without increasing headcount.

Why It Matters

Combining device telemetry with Agentic AI allowed the client to deliver proactive, reliable support at scale — without compromising safety or quality.
