NewPazau Agent 3 is here: Procedures that test themselves before they go live
For support leaders

Lower cost per contact. Higher CSAT. A headcount plan you can defend.

Pazau Agent resolves the majority of your conversations end-to-end, so your cost per contact falls, your team spends its time where people matter, and your next budget cycle starts from data instead of hope.

What changes

The three numbers you're measured on, and what moves them.

Support leaders buy Pazau for cost per contact, CSAT and a headcount plan that holds up. Here's how each one moves, and how you'll see it.

01

Cost per contact

−41%
median cost per contact, year one

Resolution costs a fraction of a handled conversation. You pay $0.75 per AI resolution on Business, and nothing for conversations the agent hands to a human. Your blended cost per contact falls as resolution rises.

Procedure · How Pazau counts a resolutionLive
  1. 1.The customer's issue is completed by the AI: refund issued, booking changed, claim opened.
  2. 2.No human touched the conversation, and the customer did not return on the same issue within 72 hours.
  3. 3.Handoffs, abandoned chats and deflections to help articles are never billed.
02

CSAT

+9 pts

Customers rate speed and completion. Pazau answers in under two seconds on every channel and finishes the job in the first conversation, 24 hours a day, in the customer's language.

03

Headcount planning

±4 pts
median forecast accuracy after 90 days live

Before you sign, simulate Pazau against a quarter of your real conversations. You get a resolution forecast by topic and channel, so your plan is based on your data, not a vendor benchmark.

Procedure · Forecast from simulationLive
  1. 1.Import 90 days of conversations with import_history.
  2. 2.Replay them against draft Procedures with simulate.
  3. 3.Output: resolution rate by driver, handoff reasons and agents required at target SLA.
04

Seasonal and growth volume

Most teams don't take the savings as layoffs. They redeploy agents to complex work and retention, or absorb growth without hiring. Either way, the 50 FTE of capacity shows up in your plan.

FAQ

Questions we hear in every evaluation.

What resolution rate should we plan for?+
The platform average is 67% and the enterprise median is 58%. Your number depends on your contact mix and the Actions you connect. Simulation on your own conversations gives a forecast by topic before you sign.
What exactly counts as a billed resolution?+
A conversation the AI completed with no human involvement, where the customer didn't come back on the same issue within 72 hours. Handoffs and deflections are never billed.
How long until we see savings?+
Most teams go live on their first Procedures in six to eight weeks and reach a steady resolution rate within 90 days. In the illustrative model, payback comes in under four months.
Will this mean layoffs?+
That's your decision. Most Pazau customers redeploy agents to complex cases, retention and quality, or absorb growth without hiring. Meridian Mutual retrained 60 intake reps as field-desk adjusters.
Can we run Pazau alongside our current helpdesk?+
Yes. Pazau Agent works inside Zendesk and Salesforce. Many teams adopt Pazau Inbox later so AI and human agents share one queue and one set of reports.
