Charlie learns to read the knowledge base
The operational problem
A scripted chatbot can only follow flows written in advance, so every new policy means more scripting, and passengers in difficulty end up in the same queue as everyone else.
What the evidence reports
Ada said in a September 2025 case study that Charlie now answers directly from Cebu Pacific's knowledge base, follows the whole conversation, and works with Salesforce routing to escalate the most urgent cases first, starting with travellers disrupted partway through a trip. Human agents receive a summary when a chat is handed over. Charlie runs on the website, the app and Facebook Messenger. Ada reports automated resolution up more than 34%, customer satisfaction up more than 50%, and waits of under a minute for the most urgent cases. JL De Paz, director of the customer care group, said: "Now, Charlie understands the whole conversation."
Operational significance
Putting disrupted passengers first, and passing agents a summary, uses AI to sort the queue as well as answer it.
The figures are Ada's. Cebu Pacific has not published chat volumes or its own results.
