AI-based technologies such as chatbots do help to automate homogeneous, simple tasks and provide relief. But the result of this automation on one side means for the other side: the remaining requests, calls, emails are complex and demanding. This is good news for service staff – after all, who wants to announce account balances 45 times a day? However, in our fast-paced and dynamic world, the remaining complex and demanding tasks cannot be handled without support for the service staff. And this is where assistance solutions like VIER Copilot come into play.
Assistance through AI
Assistance solutions support contact centre staff by providing relevant information, guidance and support in real time. VIER Copilot enables AI-based dialogues with humans. It recognises the customer's intent, makes recommendations on queries and provides answers from a central knowledge base. And VIER Copilot can transcribe calls in real time, transfer data to CRM systems and suggest ready-made answers to the agent. This allows agents to manage calls more confidently and focus on resolving complex queries. The technology is usefully deployed as an integrated part of CCaaS platforms and is typically triggered by keywords and phrases.
NLU and NLP form the foundation
Assistance solutions are therefore small digital helpers that access databases or the CRM system to support the dialogue, call up the appropriate data record and even learn from past interactions. The solutions take over the monitoring of all calls. They provide information or suggest next steps even before the employee asks. The solutions use the power of Natural Language Understanding (NLU) and Natural Language Processing (NLP) to recognise customer intentions and the moods of employees and customers in real time.
Highly efficient and human at the same time
Assistance solutions and automation make contact centres highly efficient while still taking into account the human factor. Contact centres are able to distinguish the type of call, understand the context, adapt the response and take the right direction to resolve the caller's concern. The solutions also use the feedback from employees to improve themselves. In addition, such solutions have a positive impact on agent training and coaching.
