Study Notes

AI in Contact Centres

AI is enhancing customer experience in contact centres by improving personnel, operations, and technology systems.
Different layers of AI software implementation can lead to significant operational improvements.

Call Analytics

Call Recording & Reporting: Essential for managing risks and ensuring quality assurance in communication. Allows businesses to have visibility and access to recorded transactions.
Speech Analytics: Digitizes spoken words and encodes data such as pitch and tone, creating a unique voiceprint for speaker authentication and conversation analysis.
Predictive Analytics: Utilizes vast customer data for personalized services. For example:
- Sprint uses AI to predict customer churn and offer personalized retention strategies.
- Netflix’s algorithm leverages demographics and preferences to recommend content, saving $1 billion annually by enhancing customer retention.

Chatbots

Virtual assistants or chatbots are designed to handle customer queries and are anticipated to reduce business costs.
Major companies like Apple, Microsoft, and Google are developing chatbots that utilize data to improve customer service.
Chatbots enhance customer interactions by storing data, predicting behavior, and accessing real-time information.
Collaboration: AI bots can augment human intelligence and enhance capacity, exemplified by Mastercard KAI, which integrates banking services with messaging platforms.

Facial Recognition

Facial recognition technology identifies individuals by analyzing facial features in images or videos, matching them against databases.

Emotion Analytics

Analyzes verbal and non-verbal cues to gauge customer mood and attitude.
Aids in routing customer interactions based on emotional state; for example, angry customers may be directed to retention teams while satisfied customers may be guided to sales opportunities.
Generates valuable data to assess customer experiences and identify weak points in service.

Channel Considerations

Not all contact centres require an extensive omni-channel solution; it depends on whether the focus is primarily on incoming calls or multi-channel interactions.
Whether in-house or outsourced, contact centres must integrate technology to handle varying volumes of customer interactions across different platforms.
