Problem

Zomato's support operations were spread across separate platforms with fragmented customer data. Annual support costs had reached US$20 million, according to MongoDB.

Approach

Zomato built Nugget for internal customer support and later offered it to other businesses. MongoDB Atlas stored conversation context and customer history for AI agents that acted through backend systems. A co-pilot also supported human agents.
