The Challenge
mobilezone AG — retail and telecommunications — knows the peak periods after major device launches. After the iPhone 16 release, inquiry volume and expectations for advice quality rose at once. Rule-based predecessors were no longer enough: too rigid for product advice, too weak for real relief in service.
What was needed was an assistant that helps automatically — and brings humans in cleanly when required.
Why meinGPT
The result was a tailored AI chatbot with product advice, WhatsApp integration, and launch-specific FAQs. Handoff mattered: when the bot cannot continue, the conversation lands fully with support — without drop-off, without lost context.
Solution
The rollout was tied to the launch: iPhone 16 live, FAQs current, channel where customers already write — WhatsApp. The platform treats automation and handoff as one process, not two separate worlds.
Results
- 500+ automated inquiries per month
- 100% successful handoffs to support
- Rolled out live for the iPhone 16 launch
Service stays reachable without every inquiry binding a person immediately — and without complex cases getting stuck in automation.
Conclusion
Peak load in retail can be absorbed with AI when automation and human handoff are designed together. mobilezone shows the path: channel-native, launch-ready, with clear escalation.
