If we change the question as “Can technology help us to handle these difficult times?” We don’t need time to find an answer. The answer is obviously, “Yes.” Because like a godsend, technology is helping us transform the way we work and the way we live.
Being prepared with a digital workforce and digital technologies paid off. Thanks to advanced digital technologies, millions of people easily adapted to the changes due to social isolation concerns. Schools managed to switch to online classes so that education was not interrupted. Millions of employees continue to do their job without leaving their homes. And many companies continued to serve their customers without needing physical contact points.
And AI was on the stage as always. Conversational AI technologies enabled us to reach brands easily whenever we need them. We continued to get the high-quality service as we used to do simply by interacting with a chatbot, a virtual assistant, or a speech-enabled IVR system.
A crisis means a shaky ground for your brand’s image. If you can’t provide your customers with what they need on time, this might damage your brand. On the other hand, offering your customers consistent self-service across any channel, they prefer would help you to turn the crisis into an opportunity for your business. And to achieve this, you can get help from Conversational AI.
As Sestek Marketing Team, we prepared a playbook to guide you through your Conversational AI journey. By downloading our free e-book, you will learn about the definition of Conversational AI, along with technologies supporting it. You will also see an industry snapshot that defines today and tomorrow of the technology. You will dive into the benefits of conversational AI, with a list of products that include this technology. And the final section of our e-book which was designed as a playbook aims to guide you through the implementation of the technology in your own business.

Consilium UniChAI™ Contacting customer service can often be a challenging experience with waiting on hold forever being one of the top reasons for client dissatisfaction. Furthermore, repeating information that was already provided to a chat agent, and generally spending too much time getting answers to questions can all lead to a lengthy, and often frustrating, customer journey.

Furthermore, repeating information that was already provided to a chat agent, and generally spending too much time getting answers to questions can all lead to a lengthy, and often frustrating, customer journey. With unlimited scalability, enterprise-level security, and best-in-class data privacy features, UniChAI™ is a conversational AI platform which is playing an important role in improving some of these aspects of customer experience (CX) through chatbots – which are intelligent and natural-language virtual assistants meant to augment a contact center’s agent-assisted service. These chatbots are able to recognize human text chat and speech and understand the caller’s intent without requiring the caller to converse in specific phrases. Callers can perform tasks such as changing a password, requesting a balance on an account, or scheduling an appointment, without the need to speak to an agent. UniChAI™ is designed to deliver a personalized customer experience across any application, device, or channel, with an advanced bot and virtual agent to recognize customer intentions. While most chatbots try to mimic human interactions, UniChAI™ is more than a chatbot – it keeps interactions intuitive and repeatable, using consistent features and helping enterprises to answer and resolve a high percentage of their routine customer inquiries without any human intervention, resulting in increased productivity and efficiency, and certainly a shorter waiting time in queue.
UniChAI™ allows contact centers to create intelligent conversational chatbots, and turn their contact flows into natural conversations that provide personalized experiences for callers. Using the most advanced AI technology, a chatbot powered by UniChAI™ can be attached to a non-voice contact flow to recognize the intent of the caller, ask follow-up questions, and provide answers. UniChAI™ maintains context and manages the dialogue, dynamically adjusting the responses based on the conversation, so that contact centers can perform common tasks and address many customer inquiries through self-service interaction with the bot. Benefits at a glance • Personalizing the customer experience: UniChAI™ serves as a virtual assistant, providing real-time context and advice to the agent, making customer and agent interactions more effective as the most relevant customer interaction history is presented to the agent. • 24x7 availability: Customer service is all about convenience, that is services being available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. UniChAI™ chatbot can deliver self-service to clients round the clock, by filling in those hours when your contact center is not staffed. • Improving Customer Satisfaction: Using the advanced capabilities of Artificial Intelligence (AI), UniChAI™ understands the context and sentiment of the customer query to respond back quickly, thus, reducing operational costs and resulting in greater levels of customer satisfaction. • Easy to Use: UniChAI™ provides an easy-to-use console to create chatbot or conversational interfaces in minutes. • Seamless 3rd-Party Integrations: UniChAI™ provides built-in integrations with 3rd party CRM’s or applications using REST APIs. • Cost-effective: With UniChAI™ there are no upfront costs or minimum fees. Contact centers and technology partners can avail Consilium’s pay-as-you-go pricing, which makes it a cost-effective way to step into conversational AI capability.

We believe incremental improvements carry huge potency and provide exponentially greater change for the better.
Genesys customers can now automate risk and quality management using Daisee’s speech and sentiment analytics and remediation workflow software. Daisee helps improve customer experience, ensure regulatory compliance, identify missed commercial opportunities & training requirements as well as provide valuable insights back to the business directly from the frontline – the true voice-of-the-customer.
Unlike legacy speech analytics providers that simply transcribe audio to text and use ‘word spotting’ (i.e building a database of synonyms for every use case - ‘angry’ and ‘manager’ as well as ‘upset’ and ‘supervisor’ and simply spotting for those words), the engine has proprietary use of its sentiment language – a University innovation developed at Daisee, resulting in far more accurate transcription, enabling derivation of the context of a conversation.
The Programmable Scorecard™ scores every call, and automatically activates a workflow for low-scoring, high-risk calls in near-real-time so they can be immediately reviewed and remediated.
As the solution is pre-trained out of the box, deployment is a matter of weeks, not months and there is no setup or professional services fees – just a straightforward SaaS based pricing model. Ensure 100% of your phone interactions are not only monitored but also analyzed and scored with high-risk calls triaged for fast review and remediation.

KoopidAI Most customer-facing interfaces make it the end user’s job to figure out how to navigate and find their way to where they need to be. This is true of websites and mobile apps as much as it of touch-tone IVRs. The interface is usually designed for the most generic of uses; and because making changes is expensive and time-consuming, these interfaces tend to be inflexible with regards to evolving times, use cases or user needs.

The interface is usually designed for the most generic of uses; and because making changes is expensive and time-consuming, these interfaces tend to be inflexible with regards to evolving times, use cases or user needs.
AI can help create user interfaces that are adaptable and personalized. Advances in Conversational AI make it possible to interact with the user in natural language. Many IVRs are being re-configured to work this way and businesses are also introducing text-based chatbots. An even more powerful technique enables AI to manipulate the visual aspects of the user interface as well. Imagine interacting with what seems like a just-in-time mobile app or web-site, created just for you - the user - and optimized for exactly the problem you are trying to address at this moment. A Conversational UI, as it were.
Deploying Conversational UI’s can dramatically improve rates of self-service, reduce call volumes and greatly simplify the customer experience. Further, integrating a Conversational UI into a natural language IVR and providing a seamless experience across channels can enable intuitive and personalized experiences that are truly delightful. And in an era where customer loyalty is closely co-related with the quality of experience, that is a game changer for the business as well.
