Claude for customer support

Support auto-replies are one of the most cost-inefficient places Claude gets used. Here's why, and what to do.

Why this workload is expensive

Support automation is the #1 workload where teams overpay for Claude. Repetitive prompts, brittle JSON parsing, retry cascades. Audit reveals 80%+ waste on most teams.

What to audit first

Three patterns dominate the waste on this workload: (1) context that gets re-sent on every request; (2) retry loops on parse failures or validation errors; (3) agent/reviewer chains where intermediate steps re-read content they already processed. AIUsage's audit identifies which of the three is eating your bill.
