# Fix something that isn't working

You've got a chatbot, voice assistant, or AI agent in production and it's not delivering. Containment is poor, customers are frustrated, the metrics aren't moving. You need someone who knows what they're doing to come in, find the root cause, and put it right.

## How we fix it

When something's in production and underperforming, the fix starts with the root cause, not a rebuild. We help you with the design, the optimisation, and the responsible use of generative AI, and get the metrics moving again.

## FAQs

### Can you work with our existing platform?

Yes; CDI is technology-agnostic. We work with whatever stack your assistant is built on rather than pushing a tool of our own. If the platform itself is part of the problem, our [guide to Conversational AI platforms](/topics/vendor-platforms) covers the landscape.

### Can you fix it without a full rebuild?

Usually. We optimise what's there first; a rebuild is only on the table if the foundation genuinely can't support where you're trying to get to.

### Do you advise, or do the actual work?

Either; from a focused recommendation to hands-on optimisation with your team, depending on what you need.

### How do you find the root cause?

We evaluate the intent architecture, the [conversation design](/topics/conversation-design), and the real logs, so the fix targets why it's failing, not just the symptom in the dashboard.
