Coterie: Scaling personalized support to deliver record CSAT
THE CHALLENGE

Personalization at Scale

Coterie wanted every customer to feel "known" — like a favorite barista greeting you by name — even as the business scaled.

But the context to personalize (child's name/birthday, past shipping issues, skin sensitivities, etc.) was buried across long conversation histories in their CRM. Agents were incentivized for speed, so deep lookups rarely happened, and the brand's high-touch standard was hard to deliver consistently.

It takes a lot of time to scroll prior conversations… agents probably just weren't doing it before.
THE SOLUTION

Automated Context Extraction

Coterie set up a series of micro-agents in Cotera that:

1

Listen across support transcripts

Monitor past interactions and conversation histories for context

2

Extract safe-to-use personalization signals

Identify key details like child's name/birthday, prior shipping hiccups, sensitive skin

3

Write a concise customer card

Display everything directly in the CRM so agents see context at a glance

4

Guide responses and recommendations

Tailor product suggestions and responses based on customer preferences

THE RESULTS

Improved Customer Experience

Time saved on every interaction

The manual "hunt for context" step is removed; agents get personalization "on a platter"

Higher CSAT

"It's the highest we've ever had," with meaningful share attributed to richer, faster personalization

Consistency at scale

Every customer now gets the remembered-details experience, not just ones with short histories

We can personalize in a much faster and efficient way at scale… and CSAT is the highest it's ever been.
