Customer service is expensive, repetitive — and often frustrating. Not only for customers, but also for the teams behind them. Always the same questions about Opening times, returns, or product availability block time that is actually needed for real concerns. And at the same time, customers today expect: quick, precise answers that can be reached at any time — even in the evening or on weekends.

The solution: Artificial intelligence in customer service. More specifically: a AI agent, which reacts to messages around the clock, delivers information and only hands it over to a real employee when it's really necessary. Good for that, we provide you with the new AI agent & chatbot from hellomateo before!

What is the hellomateo AI agent?

The Hellomateo AI-Agent is an intelligent chatbot that automatically answers customer inquiries on all connected messenger channels — 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. This is not about standard answers, but about real Contextual conversations.

The AI is trained with a company-specific questionnaire and with information from the company description and from the company's website and can generate answers independently — even if the questions asked do not match the wording from the questionnaire. The bot recognizes Intentions, Context, and Contexts and provides precise answers based on stored information. If no suitable answer is found, the AI recognizes this and automatically transfers the conversation to a human employee — friendly and uninterrupted in conversation.

Companies can give the chatbot a Give a name, Speech style and tonality (e.g. “you” or “you”) define and even determine how long or concise the answers should be. This will make the AI agent not just functional, but also personally adaptable. All AI-generated messages can be clearly marked as such upon request — for maximum transparency and trust.

How does AI-supported customer service work with hellomateo?

Hellomateo's AI agent is not simply a chatbot with fixed answers. It uses modern AI technology to flexible, learnable and context-sensitive to respond to customer inquiries. The basis for this is an individual knowledge model, who can design the company themselves.

How is the AI agent trained?

  • Questionnaire: Companies define typical customer concerns such as “How does the return process work? ” or “What are the opening times on public holidays? ”
  • Reply: A suitable answer is provided for each of these questions — with links or explanatory content
  • Freedom of formulation: The AI automatically recognizes similar or differently formulated inquiries and reacts with the appropriate answer — even if the wording differs significantly

Other sources of information that the AI agent can use

  • Profile description: All information stored in the company profile is automatically included
  • documents: PDF files, instructions or terms and conditions can be uploaded — the agent uses them as a source of knowledge
  • Web page URL: Companies can specify a domain whose publicly available content is fully analyzed and understood by the AI agent

If the AI is stuck:

If an inquiry cannot be answered unequivocally, the AI agent will lead the conversation automatically forwarded to an employee — including context. In this way, no information is lost and the customer does not have to repeat himself.

Which topics can the chatbot answer?

The hellomateo AI agent is on recurring customer inquiries specialized — exactly the topics that cost a lot of time in traditional support. In doing so, it can be flexibly adapted to your company.


Typical areas of application in customer service:

  • Opening hours: For example, “Are you also open on Sundays? ”
  • Shipping & returns: “How long do I have to return an item? ”
  • Prices & offers: “Are there any discounts right now? ”
  • Product information: “What are the technical details of the Samsung Curved 32-inch monitor?”
  • Buying advice:”Which shoes go well with my summer dress?”
  • General information: “At which locations do you have branches?”

More complex processes can also be mapped — for example through links to forms, PDFs or further information on your website.


Individual content:

By uploading its own content, such as documents or URLs, the chatbot can also...

  • Automatically display FAQ content
  • Read information from the legal notice, privacy policy or service areas
  • Answer product and company-specific questions based on your website

The best part: You have full control over what content the bot knows and how it answers.

What makes the hellomateo AI-Agent special

Many chatbots appear stiff, impersonal or simply ignore the question. Hellomateo's AI agent takes a different path: It combines modern AI with true individualization and cross-channel integration.

  • Find orders and view their status
  • Provide shipment tracking links
  • Update customer data (e.g. address or phone number)
  • Check product availability live
  • Request coupon codes or loyalty points

Typical questions that the bot will soon be able to answer:

  • “Where is my order #467123? ”
  • “Can I change my delivery address? ”
  • “Are the size 32 black jeans still there? ”
  • “How many bonus points do I have? ”
  • “Which branch near me has the item in stock? ”
  • “How long is my voucher still valid? ”
  • “Can I have my last invoice sent again? ”
  • “Can you send me a return label as a.pdf file?”

These skills take the AI agent to the next level: from an intelligent question answer to a real digital front desk, which is deeply integrated into your business processes — and creates customer experiences that inspire.
