Identify a real support problem
Focus on a customer or operational challenge where fragmented context, repeated manual effort, or slow investigation affects the experience.
Project · Innovation & Vibeathon
My innovation work focuses on real challenges in customer support, technical troubleshooting, communication workflows, and applied AI. The goal is to move beyond an idea and show how a useful solution could work.
The Vibeathon journey
SupportBuddy was developed as an AI Ticketing Intelligence concept for a Vibeathon setting. The idea focused on a common support challenge: customer interactions often happen across multiple channels, while the next agent still needs a fast, useful view of the active story.
The project was shortlisted among the top ideas and presented live, helping validate that practical AI concepts can be framed around real workflows, clear user value, and a working demonstration.
Innovation process
Innovation is most useful when it keeps a strong link between the original problem, the user workflow, the technical approach, and the expected outcome.
Focus on a customer or operational challenge where fragmented context, repeated manual effort, or slow investigation affects the experience.
Turn the problem into a focused solution that can be explained clearly through a simple workflow, prototype, or demonstration.
Create a working proof of concept, test the user flow, and refine the story around measurable value for agents, engineers, or customers.
Communicate the problem, solution, workflow, and expected impact in a way that makes the idea easy to understand.
Innovation themes
Helping support teams understand the customer journey across disconnected interactions and systems.
Reducing repetitive investigation effort through clearer signals, summaries, and workflow support.
Using AI to improve real support and operational experiences instead of creating isolated demonstrations.
What I learned
Start with the workflow, not the technology
Keep the problem statement clear and specific
Show value through a realistic demonstration
Design for the people who will use the solution
Use AI where it adds meaningful context or automation
Treat prototypes as learning tools, not final products
