How PettAI Scaled Web3 Support with AI Community Automation
Web3 projects live and die by their communities. But managing a high-volume, global support channel can be overwhelming—especially for lean teams. That's where AI community support automation becomes a game-changer.
In this post, we explore how PettAI, a fast-growing Web3 platform, automated its Telegram community using 42Agents, drastically reducing support response times, increasing scalability, and improving user satisfaction. If you're building in Web3 and wondering how to scale without hiring dozens of moderators, read on.
Why AI Community Support Automation Matters
For any crypto or Web3 project, community engagement and real-time support are critical—many experts predict that autonomous AI agents will reshape how we interact online:
- Token-related questions can't wait hours.
- New users need fast onboarding to stay.
- Spam and scams can kill trust.
Yet most startups can't afford a 24/7 global support team. Telegram is very popular with Web3 and crypto communities because its decentralization and privacy focus matches blockchain and decentralized initiatives. This is where AI-powered support agents step in—offering round-the-clock answers, moderation, and user guidance at scale.
PettAI's Community Growth Challenge
PettAI's Telegram community ballooned past 45,000 members in 2025. The daily message volume exceeded 3,000 messages—many of them urgent or repetitive support questions. Challenges included:
- Slow response times: 5–10 minute wait on average
- Overloaded moderators: answering the same questions repeatedly
- No scalability: human support couldn't keep up with growth
With users asking everything from "How do I stake $AIP?" to "Is this a scam?", PettAI needed an upgrade—without burning budget.

Human + AI: A Winning Combo
Crucially, PettAI didn't remove its human moderators. Instead, it repositioned them:
- Human mods handle edge cases, education, sentiment.
- AI covers repetitive queries and first-touch support.
- Both teams use feedback loops to train the bot continuously.
This hybrid model turned the community from reactive chaos into proactive support.
