A retrieval engine that handles customer support end to end and hands a human the exceptions rather than the queue. Aimed at mental health solo practitioners, closing the loop while everyone is asleep.
In short: Support Agent for Mental health Solo Practitioners is a retrieval engine aimed at mental health solo practitioners, covering customer support. It scores 74/100 on AltF Ideas, carried by demand (89) and held back by monetisation (25). Typical pricing is $1.0k–$11k per customer per year, with a first version reachable in a weekend for $3.0k–$10k.
Mental health teams lose the same forty questions answered by a human every day. A typical mental health operation runs this on people, memory, and a shared spreadsheet. The error rate is tolerated because measuring it would cost more than the errors.
Point a retrieval engine at customer support, and let people review output instead of producing it. Revenue is flat saas, which suits a buyer who wants the cost to track the value rather than the seat count.

Retrieval over private documents became cheap enough to run per query. Mental health is growing at roughly 22% a year, and this job has not been re-tooled since it was designed around paper.
| Who | The gap |
|---|---|
| The incumbent suite | Sells a platform; this job is one neglected module inside it |
| A spreadsheet | The real incumbent in most of the market, and it is free |
| An offshore back office | Cheaper per hour, but does not scale down to the tail |
The data you need lives on paper in a back office; digitisation is half the product.
