Automation Intern – Global Support (AI support chatbot, MCP servers, hybrid GraphRAG retrieval) at AppZen
Developed and deployed a production AI support chatbot using hybrid GraphRAG retrieval to answer user questions with citations from an internal knowledge base. • Built a fused retriever using FAISS vectors, BM25 keyword search, and NetworkX graph BFS combined with Reciprocal Rank Fusion over 150+ KB articles. • Implemented SSE token streaming and prompt caching to improve latency and reduce token costs. • Created two Zendesk MCP servers to transform and route ticket and Help Center content into formats usable by the assistant tools. • Evaluated the chatbot on a 219-pair real-ticket benchmark, improving cited-answer rate from 28.4% toward ≤15%.
