  • Spam Filters in Email: The AI is used for spam filtering to get the essential and relevant emails in your inbox. As per the studies, Gmail successfully filters 99.9% of spam mail.

  • Google Search Engine: When we start writing something on the Google search engine, we immediately get relevant recommendations or suggestions from Google, and this is because of AI technology.

  • Social Networking: Different social networking sites, such as Facebook, Instagram, etc., use AI for different purposes, like face recognition or friend suggestions when you upload a photograph on Facebook, understanding the contextual meaning of an emoji in Instagram, and so on.

  • Product Recommendations: When we search for a product on Amazon, we get recommendations for similar products, and this is because of different ML algorithms. Similarly, on Netflix, we get personalized recommendations for movies and web series.

Similarly, AI also plays a significant role in customer service. The power of artificial intelligence is such that companies are now forced to implement this futuristic technology to drive sustainable and exponential growth; simply because, at every stage of the customer journey, AI helps deliver delightful customer experiences.

But, have you at any point envisioned being on the opposite side? It could impact your viewpoint. Imagine you asking the same question 100 times a day to 100 different customers. Or even worse, being unable to decide the accurate responses to your customer inquiries. Support teams deal with it daily.

Similarly, there are many other aspects where support teams need genuine assistance with smart technology so they do not have to face any ordeals.

How do service centers ensure stellar customer experiences in a world of fading customer loyalty? What are the best ways to deliver a timely response to customer queries and establish seamless digital communication across communication channels?

Application of AI in customer support

The principle of artificial intelligence is to replicate the way humans perceive and react. Ideally, AI analyzes various datasets, learns from agents’ actions and their choices, and with time and training, it automatically starts performing human-like tasks. For instance, AI can:

Determine the category of each case simply by analyzing the initial customer message.

Assist agents in chat and various other channel conversations by detecting customer intents and determining the best response to fulfill their intents.

Assign the next most relevant case to the appropriate agent as an alternative to manual case sorting and selection from the inbox.

Recommend suitable smart responses or knowledge articles by analyzing the earlier answers sent to customers in similar cases.

Determine the topics of the customer message in a case to gain better insight into what customers like and dislike.

And many more…
