The Artificial Intelligence driven service outage detection and customer support ticket management system in customer support platforms includes a customer support platform that is operatively coupled to the service outage detection system. A data collector gathers input data from a product status page and a service request tracker document. A service outage detector (SRT) detects the service outage by monitoring the product status page and incoming customer support tickets raised against the products by the users. A comparator compares the details of the product status page and the SRT document to confirm the occurrence of the service outage. A customer support ticket router updates the customer support ticket routing process based on the confirmed service outage status. A response generator generates an automated, predefined response including service outage information and any expected resolution or alternative support options and notifies the user utilizing a notification module.
