Automate Multilingual
Customer Support
Global customers expect support in their own language, but staffing native speakers for every market is expensive and slow. IrisAgent resolves and responds in 100+ languages from your single knowledge base, with the same quality and speed in every language.

Automating multilingual support means an AI agent detects the customer's language, resolves their question using your existing (often English) knowledge base, and responds natively in 100+ languages, in seconds, with consistent quality across every market. It removes the need to staff native speakers for every language or run clunky translation handoffs, escalating to a locale specialist only when needed.
Why multilingual support is hard to scale
Serving global customers traditionally means one of two bad options: hire and retain native speakers for every language you support (expensive, hard to staff across time zones, and impossible to cover the long tail of languages), or bolt on translation tools that produce stilted, error-prone replies and force clunky copy-paste handoffs.
The practical result is uneven service. English tickets get fast, high-quality answers, while non-English tickets wait longer, get routed around, or receive lower-quality machine translations, exactly the customers a global brand most wants to delight.
And your knowledge base usually lives in one language, so even your best content can't easily reach the customers who don't read it.
How IrisAgent resolves tickets in any language
Detect the customer's language automatically
IrisAgent identifies the language of every incoming message, no language picker, no manual routing, so the customer simply writes in whatever language they're comfortable with.
Resolve from your existing knowledge base
The AI answers using your current knowledge base and policies, even if they're only written in English, so you don't have to translate and maintain your entire KB in every language.
Respond natively, grounded and accurate
IrisAgent replies in the customer's language with a natural, on-brand answer, grounded in your sources. The Hallucination Removal Engine keeps the answer accurate, not a loose machine translation.
Deliver consistent quality across every market
The same resolution quality and speed apply whether the customer writes in English, Spanish, German, Japanese, or Portuguese, so non-English customers stop being second-class.
Escalate to the right locale human when needed
Complex or sensitive cases route to the appropriate locale or specialist team with the conversation translated and summarized, so the human handoff is seamless.
The outcome
What it looks like in practice
A customer in Brazil messages in Portuguese at 3am local time: "Não consigo redefinir minha senha, o link não funciona." There are no Portuguese-speaking agents online.
IrisAgent detects the language, finds the answer in your English knowledge base, and replies in fluent Portuguese with the exact steps to reset the password, in under a second. The customer is resolved instantly, in their language, with no agent and no waiting for the local team to come online.
When a more complex billing dispute comes in from a German customer, IrisAgent handles the first response, then escalates to the EU team with the full thread translated and summarized, so the specialist picks up with full context.
