An AI Customer-Service Assistant for a Small Business in Waterlooville
Customers ask the same dozen questions again and again. An assistant can answer those and hand over the rest.
To set up an AI customer-service assistant for a small business in Waterlooville, Dean Keating, an AI automation consultant in Horndean, Hampshire, builds an agent that answers common questions across email, your website and WhatsApp, sends updates and confirmations, and escalates to a person when it should. It is installed in your tools. Call or WhatsApp 07418 627304.

Think of a garage. The directory lists 55 car mechanics, the biggest trade group after beauty. Customers ask when the car will be ready, whether you can fit them in this week, what time you close, and whether a quote still stands. Each is a one-line answer, and each interrupts someone with their hands in an engine bay.
That is the shape of customer service work in a small firm: a lot of small, familiar questions and a few that need a person.
What the assistant does
According to Dean's website, the agents can:
- answer common questions across email, web and WhatsApp
- send updates, confirmations and reminders
- sort and route messages to the right person
- escalate to a person when the question is beyond it
The last one matters most. A customer-service assistant that bluffs does more harm than none. You decide what it may answer and what it must pass on, and a complaint or a refund request should always reach a human.
What it is not
It is not a chatbot product that sits on one page, and it is not phone answering. It works where your customers already contact you.
Setting it up
The sequence is a free call, an audit of what you get asked, the build and install, and then training and support. The first version usually handles the most frequent questions only. Extra topics can follow.
You provide the answers, because you know the business. The setup supplies the system that gives them promptly at any hour.
Before you choose
Dean works from Horndean and does this remotely; his website says he can visit Hampshire businesses. There is no published price list. Ask any provider how you can read back what the assistant has said in your name.
