Built-in dashboards with interactive charts and visual filters provide views of critical performance metrics, operational data, and emerging trends across channels from your customer service system. With Customer Service Insights, you can easily identify opportunities for improvement that have the greatest impact. This helps you evaluate and respond to key performance indicators (KPIs) while enhancing customer satisfaction.
One of the outstanding capabilities is how we’re using AI to tackle a key problem for data-driven decision making in customer service; giving users the ability to understand in detail what new topics are showing up in support traffic and how KPIs correlate to specific topics. Traditionally either coarse tagging of support issues is done by agents handling the case, or fine grain clustering is done through manual inspection after the fact. Our natural language understanding technology supports automatic grouping of cases by support topics—eliminating the need to manually tag cases or rely on very coarse topic areas selected by users of agents. The AI models learn from human feedback to improve topic clustering and personalize topic generation over time. Users can rename topics to better suit their business needs, combine or split topics to achieve desired granularity, provide feedback on cases within a topic, and automatically identify emerging support topics before they reach an overwhelming volume.
Thanks to this advanced topic clustering, new insights can be discovered as well. For example, it helps identify new emerging issues that may not have good solutions or KB articles available yet, or where there may be training needs on specific areas for agents. These unique AI capabilities empower your support team to better identify opportunities for providing positive customer experiences. Tessa Kloster’s blog post provides more detail on these additional capabilities and how to get started using Customer Service Insights.
Watch this space
It’s clear: AI is a catalyst for change—and in this case, change for the better. It’s transforming customer service by providing customer service managers insight into opportunities to improve the customer experience. Our AI technology supports a better customer experience, and helps businesses better engage and earn customers for life.
