Launch-day floods, then a long tail of player questions
Launch-day ticket floods
Major releases and content updates generated 10x to 50x normal support volume overnight, overwhelming human teams and causing days-long backlogs.
Repetitive, high-volume queries
Most player tickets fell into predictable categories (account recovery, purchases, bug reports, ban appeals, and gameplay questions) but each required manual handling.
A global, always-on player base
Players expect instant help 24/7. Delayed responses led to negative reviews, social media escalations, and player churn.
Scaling costs
Hiring and training seasonal support agents for every launch cycle was expensive and unsustainable.
AI-powered player support, purpose-built for gaming
IrisGPT AI chatbot
Trained on game-specific knowledge bases, FAQs, and patch notes, it resolves account recovery, purchase issues, gameplay questions, and bug workarounds instantly.
Automated tagging and intent detection
Tickets are classified by issue type (gameplay bug, billing, account, toxicity report) and routed to the right team automatically.
Real-time agent assist
Agents receive contextual suggestions, relevant KB articles, and player history from CRM and game backend systems, cutting handle times significantly.
Proactive surge management
AI detects trending issues during launches and events, surfaces known workarounds, and alerts the team to emerging problems before they escalate.
Sentiment analysis and escalation
Frustrated players are flagged in real time, so high-priority tickets are escalated before negative sentiment spills onto social or review platforms.
