Ultra-low-latency customer ticket triage and SLA routing using Groq LPUs.
Ingests incoming support requests or production incidents, runs sub-second inference using
qwen/qwen3.6-27b to extract urgency tiers (P1-P4), customer churn risk, and sentiment,
and dynamically routes high-priority incidents to dedicated Slack channels.
