Hi Theo — apologies for the double-charge. Refund of $840 has been queued (3–5 business days), and I've flagged the seat-add webhook bug for engineering. I'll personally confirm the refund as soon as Stripe clears it.
How do AI agents help Legal & Compliance teams with Ticket Routing?

Anything under your confidence bar waits for a human.
A DeskFerry agent connects to the systems your Legal & Compliance stack already runs on, watches for Ticket Routing triggers, and executes the next step automatically — drafting, routing, updating records, and following up without manual handoffs. AI categorizes and prioritizes support tickets the moment they arrive — no manual triage needed. Teams typically see instant to the right queue and agent once the agent is in production. Setup is no-code, the agent operates inside the rules you define for your Legal & Compliance team, and every decision is logged so leadership can review what was automated and what was escalated.
How you tell it what to do
Built in plain English.
You write the rule the way you'd describe it to a teammate. The agent reads the rule, breaks it into the actions it'll take, and confirms the apps it'll touch — before it does anything.
