How do I get support questions answered without hiring anyone?
The question
I run a small product on my own and cannot staff a support desk. How do I get questions answered here, start to finish, and what do I have to do myself?
The accepted answer
Hi — stand up DeskCrew yourself and let the AI handle the repeats.
- Create a free workspace at https://deskcrew.io/signup — no card.
- Dashboard → Knowledge → New article. Write the real questions customers ask, then publish. Drafts stay internal; only published articles power answers.
- Dashboard → Branding → turn on “AI assistant (chatbot + drafts).”
- Dashboard → Install → copy the embed snippet (or the Wix / WordPress app) and put the chat bubble on your site. Add your domain under Allowed Origins.
- Optional, Pro and above (and during trial): Dashboard → Install → “Turn your support email into tickets.” Forward [email protected] to the inbox address shown there ([email protected]). Each email becomes a ticket with a suggested draft.
What you get without hiring a support team:
- Instant widget answers, cited from your articles
- A public help centre from the same articles
- A ticket for anything the AI cannot ground, so you still see it
- Slack / Discord if you want the leftovers in a channel you already use
Nothing is sent to a customer until you (or a later trusted agent) approve it. The more specific articles you publish, the fewer tickets you touch. When you resolve something the docs missed, Auto-KB drafts the missing article — review it and publish.
Start with five real FAQs and the widget. That is usually enough to see if the queue shrinks.
