The Powerhouse Behind Exceptional Service: Agent Assist with GenAI

Agent Assist

Imagine you’re stuck at an airport with a lost boarding pass. Traditionally, you’d wait in line to speak with a representative, potentially facing a lengthy delay. Today, many airlines utilize automated kiosks or mobile apps. These systems leverage automation to streamline the process. Passengers can simply scan their ID, retrieve their boarding pass reprint, and even select their seat – all without human intervention.

This automation frees up airline staff to handle more complex issues, while simultaneously offering passengers a faster and more convenient experience. Now, let’s bridge the gap from airports to customer service centers. Just like automation streamlines the airport experience, AI Agent Assist transforms the way customer support operates with the help of GenAI. It empowers agents and elevates customer interactions, ensuring a seamless and efficient experience.

Imagine a world where customer service agents are no longer burdened by information overload and repetitive tasks. Instead, they wield the power of GenAI, transforming each interaction into a potential success story. It acts as a pillar of support for agents, equipping them with insightful data, intelligent guidance, and real-time intelligence.

Here’s how AI Agent Assist parallels the automation found in airport processes:

  • Personalized Customer Support: Much like how automated systems in airports recognize passengers’ IDs and provide personalized services, AI Agent Assist enables customer service agents to access relevant information about customers instantly. This allows agents to deliver personalized support tailored to each customer’s needs and preferences from the beginning of the interaction.
  • Streamlined Inquiries: Just as automated systems in airports categorize and prioritize passenger inquiries based on urgency or topic, AI Agent Assist categorizes and organizes customer inquiries, allowing agents to efficiently address critical issues and resolve simpler questions quickly. This streamlined approach ensures that customer inquiries are handled promptly and effectively.
  • Enhanced Efficiency: Similar to how automation in airports frees up staff to focus on more complex tasks by handling routine processes such as check-in and boarding, AI Agent Assist automates repetitive tasks in customer service, such as order lookup and information retrieval. This frees up agents’ time and allows them to dedicate their attention to addressing more complex customer needs, leading to increased efficiency and satisfaction.

“Is your CX program already using AI to predict the “next-best experience” the customer

needs and prompt “next best actions”? If not, catch up. The gap between AI high

performers and laggards is expected to widen with the advent of generative AI. McKinsey

reported that AI high performers are outspending their peers (high performers were five

times more likely to spend more than 20% of their digital budgets on AI), and are using AI

more broadly across the organization (in four or more business functions).”
