Solo Support Autopilot

Stop doing password resets at 11pm.

DeskRelief is the AI layer that does the repeat support work for a one-person B2B service business — so the hours go back to the work that actually grows it.

"Running a small B2B service business solo and it's getting messy. Every week I spend hours on the same stuff... resetting passwords for clients. It's all manual right now with spreadsheets and emails and I hate it." — the founder this is built for

The pain, in the OP's words

The repeat work is eating the work that grows the business

Password and access resets alone are 20–50% of all helpdesk tickets — at roughly $70 and 45 minutes each, done by hand. For a solo operator there's no one to offload it to. A system is the only answer that doesn't end in burnout.

Today — manual
  • Password resets handled by hand, often late at night.
  • Onboarding run off spreadsheets and scattered emails.
  • The same client questions answered again and again.
  • No one to hand it to — solo means it all lands on you.
With DeskRelief — automatic
  • Resets verified and executed in the IdP, ticket auto-closed.
  • New-client onboarding fires itself: email, folders, access, ping.
  • Repeat questions answered from your approved knowledge base.
  • Anything risky waits for one tap of approve — on your phone.
What it handles

Built for the one-person desk — not a 50-seat helpdesk

DeskRelief takes the high-volume, low-complexity work off your plate first. The judgment calls stay with you, by design.

Password & access resets

Identity-verified resets executed straight against Google Workspace, M365 or Okta. Every action logged, the ticket closed itself.

FULLY AUTO

Client onboarding flow

"New client" fires the whole sequence: the right onboarding email, folders created, access provisioned, a Slack or Telegram ping to you.

FULLY AUTO

Repeat-question answers

The same FAQs answered from your approved knowledge base — grounded only in what you've signed off on, so it never makes things up.

FULLY AUTO

Draft & approve lane

Anything not 100% safe to auto-send is drafted for you. You tap approve from your phone. Graceful human fallback, on purpose.

YOU APPROVE

Replaces the spreadsheet

Clients, tickets, onboarding and reset history in one record — Airtable or Postgres-backed — instead of scattered across emails.

ONE SOURCE

Weekly "hours back" digest

Every week: tickets auto-resolved, time saved, and the top recurring intents worth automating next.

INSIGHT

~20%

AI-drafted for your one-tap approval — the borderline cases.

Billing & disputes
