How Chime made banking support faster and more personal with AI.
Chime — This is where AI agents, thoughtfully deployed, can serve as more than cost savers. Agents can be used to build stronger relationships between companies and consumers, enabling brands to communicate with more of their customers more frequently and in more meaningful ways. A recent survey found that more than 80% of consumers are willing to switch brands after just one poor interaction. At the same time, rising costs of service delivery — the average price of a phone call to a consumer brand ranges from $5 to $20 — is putting real pressure on organizations.

Why it matters
Support is repetitive and time-sensitive. Agents can draft answers, look things up and handle simple requests, so people can focus on the tricky ones. It is one of 554 sightings filed under Customer Support on Agent Sightings (number 256 by interest), and one of 21 involving Sierra.
How you could try it
Here is a reusable prompt, written by us in our own words, that captures the task. Paste it into Sierra or any similar agent and adjust the details to your situation.
I want an agent to handle routine customer questions end to end, and pass anything unclear to a person. The tool in the source case was Sierra.
Tip: Start small: run it once on a low-stakes example, read what the agent did, and only then let it run on real work.
