About Supportbench
Supportbench is flooding the zone with ticket-routing SEO content; AI triage is the through-line.
Supportbench is publishing at an unusually heavy clip — ten 'How to…' posts in the last two days, all clustered around ticket ownership, support-tier design, escalation paths, and routing. Every post name-checks AI triage, AI routing, or AI workflows as the proposed fix, which signals the product's pitch even though none of the entries is a release note.
