How Snyk turned an internal support agent into a customer feature
Snyk Assist was built to make it easier for customers to get fast, accurate answers without having to search across docs, support content, and account systems. We treated trust and access control as core product requirements. Because Snyk is a security platform, the agent was designed to stay within a user’s permissions and to prove it was safe, reliable, and correct before broader rollout. We built it to be useful, measurable, and scalable. Phase 1: internal tooling For roughly a year, Snyk Assist ran as an internal tool for the customer support team as both a case triage and a virtual agent, with Snyk staff as the only users.

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 458 by interest), and one of 25 involving LangChain.
How you could try it
Here is a reusable prompt, written by us in our own words, that captures the task. Paste it into LangChain 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 LangChain.
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.
