Galaxy Support: five use cases and guardrails
Customer Support on Galaxy Day 2 was a short, dense pack: five standing jobs, then a wrap on how much autonomy you're willing to give a bot.
David Gan ran the session on the X broadcast about 6:05-6:29 CT. Speaker name confirmed on stream.
Five use cases (slide)
- Answer Support Tickets - draft / send from public docs and policies
- Pre-Investigation - root issue plus next steps before a human digs in
- Alerting - SLA risk, frustrated user, or large customer locked out
- Internal Answers - Slack answers from public and internal sources
- Improve the System - find doc / answer gaps and propose fixes
Use these as a menu. Soft-check ticket send and any production write against your own approval bar before you leave Draft mode.
Guardrails from the wrap
The "What we learned" slide framed autonomy in three tiers:
- Read / alert-only - bot watches and pings; humans still act
- Approval-for-writes - bot drafts ticket replies, Slack answers, or system changes; you click yes
- Fully autonomous - only where blast radius and policy already say that's safe
Same wrap also pushed two build habits:
- Start simple, then turn a working chat into a Routine
- Build what's missing instead of waiting on a vendor roadmap
That lines up with the standing Grok Bot for Support playbook on Guru (connectors, five jobs, routines). Soft-check the live official guide if a connector or routine step moved.
Soft-check before you leave support self-driving
- Public docs and internal sources are connected for the bots that need them.
- Ticket sends, refunds, and production writes stay behind approval until you write a higher bar.
- Alerting has a clear owner and channel so SLA pings don't die in a void.
- One workflow first; Routine second.
