Where it fits
Claude 3.5 Haiku across support workflows
How well the model suits each job – grounded in what it can really do, not hype.
Why this matters
What breaks when you run Claude 3.5 Haiku raw
But for real-world customer support, how well it retrieves your exact content and orchestrates workflows matters more than raw intelligence.
Hallucinated answers. It confidently gives wrong details about your product or policies.
Stale information. It shares outdated answers that don't match your latest updates.
No customer context. It can't see the customer's order or account details to help.
Inconsistent retrieval. It finds the same answer sometimes and misses it other times.
Policy drift. It strays from your brand voice or rules over long chats.
No human handoff. It can't smoothly pass the chat to a person when needed.
The Chatref way
The model is one layer. Grounding is the rest.
