Spec 00 / About Fetch

The helpdesk for teams too small for a helpdesk.

Fetch was built for the people who answer the email, and who’d like to stop answering the same one twice.

01 / The problem

Answers existed. They were just somewhere else.

A small support team doesn’t usually fail at caring. It fails at finding. The refund wording lives in a doc, the clever reply from March lives in someone’s sent folder, and the DM lives in an app only one person has open.

The enterprise suites that promise to fix this arrive with six months of configuration and a pricing page that needs a consultant. Fetch started from the opposite end: keep the inbox, keep the knowledge base, throw out the rest.

02 / Principles

Four house rules, pinned above the water bowl

Rule 01 / Retrieve first

The answer should arrive before the agent does.

Every feature is judged by one question: does it shorten the distance between a customer’s question and the right reply? If not, it waits outside.

Rule 02 / Small is a feature

Three agents shouldn’t need a project manager.

Setup fits in one sitting, and rules read like sentences. No certification required to change an assignee.

Rule 03 / Show your work

Suggestions say where they came from.

Each suggested reply names its source, an article or a past ticket, so agents can trust it or overrule it in a glance.

Rule 04 / Write what’s missing

A knowledge base should learn from its own misses.

Searches that return nothing are logged and ranked. The help center tells you what to write next, which is rude, and also correct.

03 / How it’s built

Boring where it counts, clever where it helps

  • Matching

    Fetch reads the incoming message and compares it with your help-center articles and past replies, then ranks matches by relevance.

  • Your data

    Suggestions come from your own articles and tickets. Nothing from another workspace is ever shown to yours.

  • Support

    Questions go to contact@fetchshared.com and are answered by people who use the product daily. The Kennel plan adds a dedicated success manager.

  • Integrations

    Webhooks and plain JSON through the API, plus connections to the billing, CRM and automation tools teams already run.

04 / Where it’s heading

The walk ahead, mapped in three legs

Direction, not promises with dates attached. We’d rather ship a thing than announce it twice.
