Accounts payable inboxes can see 1,000+ vendor emails a day. Xelix's new Helpdesk turns that chaos into structured tickets, enriched with ERP data, and pre-drafted replies—complete with confidence scores.
In this episode, Claire Smid (AI Engineer), Emilija Gransaull (Back-End Tech Lead), and **Talal A.** (Product Manager) walk us through how they scoped the problem, prototyped with “daily slices” (Carpaccio-style), and built a retrieval-first pipeline that matches vendors, links invoices, and drafts accurate responses—before a human ever clicks “send.” We dig into tricky bits like vendor identity matching, Outlook threading, UX pivots from “inbox clone” to ticket-first views, and the metrics that prove real impact (handling time, stickiness, auto-closed spam). We close with what’s next: targeted generation, multiple specialized responders, and more agentic routing.
