VIER Semantic Intelligence

Automate your customer communication with semantic AI from VIER. Detailed understanding of speech and written content enables automated, case-closing processing of customer concerns.

Automated comprehension

"We understand what your customers are truly saying. Automatically."

As customer interactions increasingly shift to social media and mobile platforms, the need to automatically understand natural language communications is paramount. In a global and "always-on" business environment, this requires an enormous amount of human resources.  

 
With VIER Semantic Intelligence, we provide an AI solution to automatically understand customer communications, analyze sentiment, categorize issues, and identify intent.  

 
Our NLU platform (Natural Language Understanding) is able to distinguish and understand the different meanings of phrases by replicating the mental semantics of humans.

Extraction of metadata

Database query and validation

Query content from any database, e.g. to enrich the process with existing customer data. Verification of the received and assigned information.

Forward or reply

Automatic reply or automatic follow-up when information is missing or forwarding the request to appropriate department or agent.

Support for request handling

Provide text modules, open processing templates, etc. for fast, case-closing processing when case closure is not possible through full automation.

Automated request handling

Cross-channel self-service application

For a German ministry we implemented a cross-channel self-service application in the areas of User Help Desk, Service Request Management and Information and Referral Service. Today, 60 phone lines are switched for the different customers and about 600 agents handle the requests. In the first phase, we integrated our platform-based NLU voice dialog system to make the existing infrastructure smarter and more efficient.  

 
In the future, other channels such as e-mail, letter, voice, chat and web will also be supported by our NLU platform, enabling the automation of service processes on a case-by-case basis.
