AI Support Agent: Answer customer questions automatically, 24/7

Let the AI agent deal with the questions you answer over and over, so your team only handles the ones that really need a human.

Written by Angus Williams

Every event generates the same enquiries from customers and participants — questions from people deciding whether to enter, such as pricing, distances and what's included, right through to questions from those already booked, such as start times, parking, bag drop and changing race or category. The AI Support Agent answers these instantly on your event website, day or night, using the information you have already added to eventrac. There is no knowledge base to build and no scripts to write.

Anything the agent cannot answer is passed straight to your team, so no customer is ever left without a reply.



Where to find this feature

From the left menu, click Customer Service > AI Agent


How the agent answers questions

When you enable the agent, it automatically learns from your existing event content — your event descriptions, FAQs and key race details such as price and date. It uses this to answer common questions without any extra work from you.

If there is anything the agent doesn't yet know, you can add extra information for any individual event from the AI Agent Settings page. See our guide: AI Agent Settings

This covers questions from people who haven't booked yet, too. The agent can answer common pre-sale questions such as pricing, availability, distances and what's included, helping turn browsers into bookings without your team needing to reply to every enquiry.

Because the agent is built into eventrac, it also recognises who it is talking to. If a customer is logged into their account and asks about their booking, the agent already knows which event and entry they mean — they don't have to explain themselves first.

That means the agent can also walk participants through changes to their own entry, including:

  • Deferring their entry

  • Cancelling their entry

  • Transferring their place to someone else

  • Changing to a different race or category

These are the requests that usually land in your inbox and take up staff time, so handling them automatically makes a real difference during a busy entry period.


What happens to questions the agent can't answer

If the agent isn't able to help, the customer can send a message directly to your team instead. These arrive in your Inbox alongside their question history, and a copy is emailed to them so they have a record of the conversation.

Every question asked through the agent is logged in your Inbox too, where you can run AI Insights to spot trends in what customers are asking — useful for improving your event pages and FAQs. See our guide: Customer Service Inbox: See Every Enquiry in One Place


What your customers see

On your event website, customers see a small messenger icon in the bottom-right corner, shown in your own branding. When they click it, they're greeted with your welcome message and can type their question straight away, just like messaging a real person.

The agent replies instantly, and if a follow-up is needed it can keep the conversation going, for example asking which entry they mean before helping with a change. If it can't help, it lets the customer know their message is being passed to your team, so they're never left wondering whether anyone has seen it.
