LSKD is an Australian-owned and operated brand that prides itself in producing, high-quality, functional sportswear with a street aesthetic. Since their formation in 2007, they have been constantly evolving and challenging the status quo to be 1% better every day.
The challenge: Being more responsive with personalized customer interactions
LSKD's unwavering commitment to building exceptional customer experiences has always been at the core of their brand. As their community expanded and inquiries increased, they looked for innovative ways to continue delivering top-tier service, ensuring that every interaction strengthened their relationships and upheld their high standards — especially as the business scaled.
The brand’s challenge was to integrate automation without losing their personal touch. They were looking for a solution that would allow them to reduce response times, increase automation, and free up their team to focus on more complex, personalized interactions.
The solution: Implementing Gorgias’s AI Agent
Driven by their company value of "there’s a way to do it better, find it”, LSKD decided to join the Beta program for Gorgias’s AI Agent. Their goal was to explore new ways of enhancing customer experience by leveraging AI to handle email inquiries quickly and efficiently.
Within a month of implementation, AI Agent played a key role in helping LSKD increase their email automation rate by 20% all while maintaining the brand’s tone and personal touch. AI Agent was particularly impactful during high-volume periods, such as their mid-year sale, where it handled a spike in inquiries with ease.
“AI Agent has been incredible in helping us get back to our community quickly, especially during busy times. It’s amazing how it’s able to balance responsiveness while maintaining our brand’s voice.”
—Kailey Burton, Community Experience Head Coach, LSKD
The results: Improved response time and customer satisfaction
- 1 minute 2 seconds First Response Time vs. 1 day 2 hours
- 1 minute 8 seconds Resolution Time vs. 1 day 19 hours
- 20% of email tickets automated by AI Agent
- 40% of all tickets automated by Gorgias Automate
By automating routine email inquiries, AI Agent is helping LSKD get back to customers in just under two minutes. Providing the community with the information they need, when they need it. This not only improved responsiveness but also enhanced the overall customer experience. With AI Agent’s ability to respond accurately and in a brand-aligned voice, LSKD’s community members often comment on the personalized nature of the responses, with some even mistaking AI Agent for a human agent.
“We were initially nervous about using AI, but it has quickly proven its worth. Our community members have even mistaken the AI Agent for a real person, which speaks volumes about how well it aligns with our brand voice.”
—Zoe Cranney, Community Experience Expert, LSKD
AI Agent has been incredibly impactful, especially during busy periods.

With the ability to provide immediate, personalized responses, we’re confident it will not only reduce the volume of repetitive inquiries but also ensure our community feels supported during the busiest time of the year. It's all about delivering a seamless, stress-free experience for our community, and AI Agent is key to making that happen."
