What is Artificial Intelligence?

Before we discuss how different artificial intelligence types apply to the contact center, let’s first define exactly what artificial intelligence is. AI is a branch of emerging technologies and while its use in contact centers is newer and still evolving, it has shown to be a promising feature for companies in terms of reducing operational cost, increasing agent efficiency, and personalizing the customer journey.

AI technology is a broad category of software that is able to carry out tasks in a way that mimics human intelligence, in that it can make decisions, recognize speech, plan, adapt to circumstances, make predictions, and solve problems. This ties into machine learning AI as it practically describes the AI software’s ability to adapt to new data and learn it, identify patterns, and make decisions with little human intervention required. Essentially, the AI software is able to learn and interact with customers closely as a human agent would. 

Artificial Intelligence Applications
for the Contact Center

The specific ways a business can use the artificial intelligence applications in their contact center are extensive. Read below to see how AI and machine learning can be implemented to benefit your customer’s experience:

Predictive
Call Routing

Predictive call routing describes how the artificial intelligence will match customers to the specific call center agents that are best able to handle their issues. This can be based on personality models, skillsets, and expertise by relying on customer behavior profiles that have been programmed into the AI, giving it a comprehensive understanding of the customer journey and their personas.

Chatbots & Conversational AI

Likely the most familiar form of artificial intelligence in customer service, the chatbot or conversational AI, is often used as part of the omnichannel contact center and provides problem-solving on demand while reducing call volume for the agent, relegating simple and repetitive questions to the AI software. 

Call Data
Analytics

Data collection is an excellent way to improve the customer experience and create a better journey for them. Artificial intelligence can spot trends and access customer data to give insight into whether they are having a positive or negative experience with your contact center. The AI is also able to provide call times, first resolution, and a host of other information that can improve your agents, as well as the customer's experience with your company. 

AI
Training

While artificial intelligence can greatly enhance the customer experience, it's also a powerful tool for training new agents by monitoring in real time. The live monitoring AI can provide corrective actions during training and provide feedback to prevent bad habits from setting into the agents. This allows for quick correction without having to wait till the end of day talks or one-on-one feedback. 

How AI Improves the Customer Experience

By relieving your agents of unnecessary customer interactions, such as simple pay your bill or password resets, and providing data on the customer experience, your contact center is primed to offer a continually positive customer journey that can keep learning how to improve.
