Curology, a D2C prescription skincare company that has treated nearly 6 million patients, uses Decagon AI agents for support. Decagon reports chat rising from 5% to 80% of ticket volume and support operation costs cut by 65%.

Outcomes are reported exactly as stated by the source; we have not independently audited them.

How it works

  1. Decagon AI agent answers inbound customer conversations.
  2. Escalates to human agents when needed.

Risks & compliance

  • Incorrect answers to customers; escalation paths needed
  • Vendor-published results; not independently audited
  • Health information; clinical questions must route to clinicians

Healthcare cases cover operational and commercial workflows. Nothing here is medical advice or a claim about a device's or drug's efficacy.
