Minimal builds a multi-agent e-commerce customer support system with LangGraph and LangSmith
E-commerce businesses face repetitive and complex customer service workflows, including difficult T2 and T3 issues, that require consistent and accurate replies at scale while support teams lack intelligent tooling for autonomous resolution.

Outcome
Minimal's AI agents deliver 80%+ efficiency gains across e-commerce stores while improving customer satisfaction, with the company projecting that 90% of support tickets will be handled autonomously and only 10% escalated to human agents.
What failed first
A monolithic language model prompt conflated multiple tasks, leading to errors and expensive usage, which prompted Minimal to adopt a multi-agent architecture.
