The support rep that works the shift you can't staff.

We turn your manuals, catalogs and spec sheets into a support agent on your website. It answers product questions around the clock and passes buyers to your team in the morning. We build it, train it and tune it.

  • Working demo in 2 business days
  • No call needed
  • Setup refunded if it misses
Product support Answering 2:14 AM
  1. Customer: What's the max pressure rating on the HX-40 ball valve?
  2. Agent: The HX-40 is rated to 600 psi (41 bar) at 70°F. The rating drops above 200°F, so check the temperature chart if it'll run hot. Source: HX-40 spec sheet, page 2
  3. Customer: Do you have it in stainless? Need 40 units by Friday.
  4. Agent: Yes, the stainless version is the HX-40-SS. I can't confirm stock or ship dates, but sales can. What's your email? They'll quote you when the office opens at 7.
  5. Customer: dana.r@example.com
  6. Lead sent to sales, 2:16 AM
Example conversation. The HX-40 is a made-up product.

Who answers your customers right now?

Your team covers one shift. Your website gets questions on all three.

A 24-hour board starting at 7 AM. Your desk: 7 AM to 3 PM your team answers, 3 PM to 11 PM calls go to voicemail, 11 PM to 7 AM nobody answers. Third Shift: answering all 24 hours, weekends included.

Third Shift answers every hour, weekends included. That's after-hours customer support without a night crew.

The questions your team answers fifty times a week.

  • Is part 4471-B compatible with the 2019 model?
  • What's the torque spec for the M12 flange bolts?
  • Which filter fits the XR-300?
  • Where's the wiring diagram for the 220V unit?
  • Is this rated for outdoor use?
  • Can I get the SDS for this product?
  • How do I file a warranty claim?
  • Do you ship to Canada?

It answers from spec sheets and manuals you already have. Three sources:

  • Your manuals and spec sheets

    PDFs, install guides, SDS sheets and warranty terms. Messy files are fine.

  • Your catalog and website

    Every product page, part number and policy page.

  • Your team's know-how

    A 30-minute call with whoever answers the phone today.

If the answer isn't in your documents, it says so, takes the customer's details and passes them to your team.

Ask our agent anything about how this works, what it costs or how setup goes. It's trained on this page, the same way yours would be trained on your catalog.

The live agent isn't switched on yet. You can still get a demo built on your own website, or email Nolan with any question.

How it works

  1. Today: send us your website.

    Nothing to install.

  2. Within 2 business days: try it on your own site.

    We only send it once it passes 8 of our 10 test questions.

  3. First week live: we read every conversation.

    Wrong or missing answers get fixed. Questions it can't answer go to your team with the customer's contact details.

  4. Every month: a one-page report.

    Questions answered, after-hours leads captured, gaps to fill, and the value delivered next to your fee.

If it can't return 10x what you pay, we won't sell it.

Our rule: your monthly fee is never more than a tenth of what the agent is worth to you. Change the numbers to yours.

We're in Orange County. We'll come to you.

I'm Nolan. I started Third Shift Support because the product companies around me lose buyers every night to questions nobody's there to answer.

I build every agent myself, test it before you see it, and read every conversation in its first week. If you're in Orange County or LA, I'll bring your demo to your office and walk your team through it.

In person across Orange County and LA. Remote anywhere in the US.

What operations managers ask us.

Do we have to rebuild our website?

No. The agent is one snippet added to your site. We install it, or send it to whoever manages your website.

What happens when it doesn't know the answer?

We set it up to say so instead of guessing. It takes the customer's name and contact details and passes them to your team.

Will it make things up?

It's set up to answer from your documents and to say when it doesn't know. We test it on 10 hard questions before you see it, and we read every conversation in the first week.

Our manuals are messy PDFs. Is that a problem?

That's normal. We load what you have, test it with real customer questions, and write the missing answers with your team.

What do you need from us?

Your website, any manuals or spec sheets you want it to know, and a 30-minute call with whoever answers customer questions today.

Do you charge per conversation?

No. No credits and no per-chat fees. One flat monthly price.

How long does it take?

A working demo on your own site within 2 business days. It goes live when you're happy with the answers.

Can it answer the phone?

We start with chat on your website. Phone answering is next, and founding clients get it first.

Is there a contract?

No long-term contract. The pilot is free for 30 days. Paid plans are month to month under a one-page agreement, and your monthly price stays locked for as long as you stay.

Where are you based?

Orange County, California. If you're in Orange County or LA, we'll come to your office and walk your team through it.

Send us your website. See your agent in 2 business days.

We build the demo on your real products. You don't need a call to get it.
