It finally happened — a customer reached out because their AI assistant told them to apologize to the printer. And the human agent, unfazed by the emotional complexities of office hardware, calmly replied, “Our interactive decision tree suggests checking the paper tray.” This moment captures a truth every support team eventually discovers: AI can be…

Every support team has seen AI take creative liberties, but nothing beats the moment a customer says, “AI says my toaster needs therapy.” And the human agent — grounded in experience and sanity — replies, “Our decision tree recommends unplugging it.” It’s a humorous contrast, but it highlights one of the most important realities of…

Every customer has experienced the moment: “The decision tree told me to restart again.” And every support agent has delivered the line — sometimes jokingly, sometimes seriously — “It needs to make sure you are following!” It’s funny because it’s accurate: restarting may feel repetitive, but it remains one of the most universally effective troubleshooting…

At some point in every support organization, a customer says, “Your decision tree doesn’t make sense.” And the agent, holding back a smile, replies, “It’s built on logic, not sensibility.” It’s a funny exchange because it reveals something true: decision trees don’t always align with how customers feel troubleshooting should work — they’re built to…
