What the AI did
An AI coworker called Belle triages every ticket, filters out noise and duplicates, writes up investigations and closes routine tickets. Anything risky needs human approval, and people handle outages.
The result
Across the three weeks she has been on the desk (she went live on 10 May), Belle closed 631 tickets in May. Average first response time dropped from 5.5 hours in December to 1.1 hours in May, an 80% reduction. Median resolution time dropped from 54.4 hours to 5.2 hours, a 90% reduction.
Check before trusting
GCIT is an IT firm that built this itself and is a Claude partner, so a non-technical firm would need a supplier to do the same.
