How to Achieve 40% Ticket Deflection with an AI-Powered Knowledge Base

The best support ticket is the one that's never raised. When staff can find the answer themselves — in a clear, searchable knowledge base — your queue shrinks and your team can focus on real problems. Here's how to build a KB that actually deflects tickets.
