| # Customer Support Ticket Resolution Environment | |
| > 🏆 **OpenEnv x Scalar Hackathon** — Theme **#3.1 Professional Tasks** | Sub-theme: **Scaler AI Labs — Multi-App RL Environment for Enterprise Workflows** | |
| A real-world [OpenEnv](https://github.com/meta-pytorch/OpenEnv) environment where an AI agent acts as a customer support executive, triaging and resolving incoming tickets — simulating complex enterprise workflows, business rule nuances, and multi-step decision making under partial observability. | |
| ## Overview | |
| Customer support triage is one of the most common real-world tasks for AI agents in enterprise settings. Every company handles thousands of tickets daily. Getting the classification wrong routes the ticket to the wrong team. Choosing the wrong action has direct business impact. This environment trains agents to handle exactly this challenge — with real tool interaction, dynamic state, and a multi-step reward structure that resists shortcuts. | |
| ## Quick Start | |
| ```python | |
| from support_ticket_env import SupportAction, SupportTicketEnv | |
| with SupportTicketEnv(base_url="https://algocore-support-ticket-env.hf.space").sync() as env: | |
| # Task 1 - Classify a ticket | |
| result = env.reset(task_id=1, seed=42) | |
| print(result.observation.ticket_text) | |
| result = env.step(SupportAction(action_type="classify", category="billing")) | |
| print(result.reward) # 1.0 if correct | |
| ``` | |
| ## Tasks | |
| | Task | Difficulty | Description | Score Range | | |
| |------|-----------|-------------|-------------| | |
| | Task 1 | Easy | Classify ticket into correct category | 0.0 - 1.0 | | |
| | Task 2 | Medium | Classify then choose correct action | 0.0 - 1.0 | | |
| | Task 3 | Hard | Resolve a full queue of 3 tickets | 0.0 - 1.0 | | |
| ## Action Space | |
| Actions are `SupportAction` Pydantic objects: | |
| | Field | Type | Required | Values | | |
| |-------|------|----------|--------| | |
| | `action_type` | str | always | `classify` / `reply` / `escalate` / `close` | | |
| | `category` | str | for classify | `billing` / `technical` / `account` / `general` / `refund` | | |
| | `reply_text` | str | for reply | free text | | |
| | `reason` | str | optional | free text | | |
| ## Observation Space | |
| | Field | Type | Description | | |
| |-------|------|-------------| | |
| | `ticket_id` | str | Unique ticket ID | | |
| | `ticket_text` | str | Customer message | | |
| | `task_id` | int | 1, 2, or 3 | | |
| | `current_category` | str | Category assigned so far | | |
| | `resolved` | bool | Whether ticket is resolved | | |
| | `step_count` | int | Steps taken this episode | | |
| | `feedback` | str | Human-readable feedback | | |
| | `reward` | float | Reward signal | | |
| | `done` | bool | Episode finished | | |
| ## Reward Function | |
| Rewards provide partial progress signals throughout the trajectory: | |
| - **Task 1:** 1.0 for correct category, 0.0 for wrong | |
| - **Task 2:** 1.0 correct action, 0.5 defensible alternative, 0.3 classification only | |
| - **Task 3:** 0.20 classification + 0.40 action + 0.25 reply quality + 0.15 efficiency bonus | |
| - **Penalty:** -0.05 per step over 10 (loop deterrent) | |

| ## 📈 Training Results (GRPO) — Evidence of Improvement | |
| Fine-tuned `Qwen2.5-0.5B-Instruct` using **2-stage training** (SFT pre-training → GRPO) via HuggingFace TRL over **700+ steps** on the live environment API: | |
|  | |
| | Task | Before GRPO | After GRPO | Improvement | | |

| | Task 3 - Full Resolution | 0.08 | **0.23** | +187% 🚀 | | |
| | **Overall** | **0.29** | **0.57** | **+96% 🚀** | | |
| ## Baseline Scores | |
| Measured with `gpt-4o-mini`, seeds `[42, 7, 123]`: | |
| | Task | Avg Score | | |
| |------|-----------| | |
| | Task 1 - Classification | 0.87 | | |
| | Task 2 - Action Selection | 0.71 | | |

| | **Overall** | **0.72** | | |
| ## 🎯 Why This Fits Theme 3.1 — Professional Tasks | |
| > *"Real interaction with tools, APIs, or dynamic systems where the model does real hard work instead of exploiting shortcuts"* | |
| - ✅ **Live FastAPI environment** — agent interacts with a real stateful API, not a simulation | |
| - ✅ **No shortcut exploitation** — reward function penalises loops (-0.05/step over 10), forces genuine reasoning | |
| - ✅ **Persistent world state** — ticket queue, classification state, and resolution state tracked across steps | |
| - ✅ **Multi-step causal reasoning** — classify → choose action → craft reply → resolve, all causally linked | |
| - ✅ **Enterprise workflow complexity** — billing, technical, account, general, refund categories with real business rules | |
| - ✅ **Scaler AI Labs sub-theme** — demonstrates complex enterprise workflows and business rule nuances in an RL environment | |
