The challenge

Product-led growth needs support that keeps up

Teachmint is a leading provider of education infrastructure, enabling millions of educators to build future-ready classrooms with proprietary classroom technology. With a product-led growth strategy, a superior support experience was key to retaining and growing its customer base. Teachmint invested in Freshdesk to equip frontline teams on digital channels, but support leadership still faced three challenges.
01

No real-time product insight

Product teams lacked real-time insight into critical product issues customers were reporting, which held back product-led growth.

02

Repetitive questions

Support agents spent a lot of time answering the same questions over and over.

03

Manual ticket tagging

Agents spent too much time and effort tagging tickets by hand.

04

Engineering context out of reach

Context from engineering, such as known bugs, did not reach the support team working in Freshdesk.

The solution

AI support automation on top of Freshdesk

Teachmint's support leadership wanted a systemic fix rather than more manual effort. They chose IrisAgent to automate tagging, streamline workflows, and bring context from engineering teams to the support team working in Freshdesk.
