An autonomous agent that handles customer support end to end and hands a human the exceptions rather than the queue. Aimed at construction ops teams, so the work stops following people home.
In short: Support Agent Built for Ops Teams is an autonomous agent aimed at construction ops managers, covering customer support. It scores 70/100 on AltF Ideas, carried by timing (97) and held back by monetisation (34). Typical pricing is $800–$8.0k per customer per year, with a first version reachable in six to twelve months for $40k–$123k.
Construction teams lose the same forty questions answered by a human every day. The work sits between two systems that were never designed to talk. The error rate is tolerated because measuring it would cost more than the errors.
An autonomous agent that sits beside the existing system, reads what it already produces, and closes customer support. Revenue is flat saas, which suits a buyer who wants the cost to track the value rather than the seat count.

| An internal hire | Works until volume doubles, then breaks again |
| A spreadsheet | The real incumbent in most of the market, and it is free |
