How Duckie Transformed Customer Support at Grid

Grid is one of the fastest-growing fintech platforms in the US, helping everyday users manage cash flow and access funds between paychecks. With a surge in customer growth, Grid’s support team faced a familiar scaling dilemma: ticket volume was spiking, SLAs were tightening, and Tier-1 agents were overwhelmed by repetitive questions.

Every ticket mattered — many involved sensitive transaction statuses or account access. The team needed a way to maintain high service quality without doubling headcount or sacrificing speed. That’s when they turned to Duckie.

The Duckie Difference

Grid needed a platform that could go beyond canned responses — something that could handle real resolution logic, without custom dev work.

Step-by-step approach:

  • Started with FAQ-type tickets to validate Duckie’s performance
  • Connected backend systems for live product-state data
  • Went live within weeks.

Duckie’s Impact

Duckie powered a wide range of automated use cases — not just surface-level chat replies, but end-to-end workflows built around compliance, security, and business logic. Key use cases include:

  • Subscription & Membership: Manages the full lifecycle of subscription support — from fee explanations to cancellations and edge-case disputes.
  • Payments & Refunds: Retrieves account balance info, handles "why was I charged" issues, failed payments and refunds automatically.
  • Account Management: Automatically verifies and routes sensitive account update requests.

Results:

  • 79% of incoming tickets fully resolved by Duckie — no agent involvement
  • 75% of those tickets completed in under 5 minutes
  • 15,000+ tickets per month handled autonomously
  • Agents shifted to complex, high-impact tickets — improving both morale and service quality

What Grid says

“Duckie does an amazing job at blending customizable workflows with hands-off-keyboard customer support.”

“Once your workflows are fine-tuned, you can sit back and watch open inquiries fly in and out of your queue.”

“Duckie’s team will work day and night to customize their product to your needs. They’re not a company that says ‘no’ — they come right back with an ETA.”
– Matthew Kim, Product Manager @ Grid

Looking Ahead

Duckie has become a key pillar in Grid’s support and ops stack — driving faster resolutions, reducing costs, and keeping users happy without scaling the team.
