Use Cases

Customer Support Automation

Set up Sunny the Support Star to handle customer inquiries for your team using email forwarding.

Customer Support Automation

SlyReply can serve as a first-line support agent for your team. Forward customer emails to an agent like Sunny the Support Star and get draft responses you can review before sending.

How It Works

  1. A customer emails your support inbox (e.g., help@yourcompany.com)
  2. You forward the email to sunny-the-support-star@slyreply.ai
  3. Sunny analyzes the customer's issue and drafts a professional response
  4. You review the draft in your inbox, edit if needed, and send it to the customer

This keeps a human in the loop while dramatically reducing response time.

Setting Up a Support Workflow

For the best results, include context when forwarding:

To: sunny-the-support-star@slyreply.ai
Subject: Fwd: Order #4521 missing items

Sunny, please draft a response to this customer.
Our policy is to reship missing items at no cost
if reported within 14 days. Their order was placed
3 days ago.

---------- Forwarded message ----------
From: customer@example.com
Subject: Missing items in my order

Hi, I just received order #4521 but two of the five
items are missing. Can you help?

Customizing the Support Agent

Create a personalized copy of a support agent from the dashboard to tailor it for your business:

  • System prompt — include your company name, product details, and standard policies
  • Tone — match your brand voice (formal, friendly, casual)
  • Creativity — lower values (0.3-0.5) for consistent, policy-driven answers
