Your ultimate CX destination

A few years ago, Warner Bros. released ‘Her’, an existential science-fiction movie about a man who develops a special relationship with Samantha – an artificial intelligence-enabled Operating System. As the story progresses, Samantha shows an incredible ability to learn and grow psychologically – and even discusses matters such as love, life, and death. Soon, the OS becomes his sole companion.

By no stretch of the imagination was ‘Her’ the only movie plot centered on artificial intelligence. AI has been central to the sci-fi genre for nearly a century. Epics such as Metropolis, The Day the Earth Stood Still, Blade Runner, Robocop, The Matrix, and Bicentennial Man have even become a part of the mainstream pop culture.

Modern living. Future gazing.

But unlike all these movies, the Oscar-winning ‘Her’ felt real. Samantha seemed like neither an inconceivable gadget from the future nor an algorithm based on data analysis, speech recognition, decision-making systems and language translation. She felt here and now. That is because more than ever before, artificial intelligence is becoming ubiquitous and touches our lives in the way we might not notice. Every time we call on Siri, we are using an AI-powered chatbot.

Other virtual personal assistants like Amazon Alexa / Echo are now part of everyday life as chatbots and intuitive voice services have slowly started taking over small parts of customer services.

According to the Economist, “AI will be actively implemented” in their companies within the next three years, according to 75% of surveyed executives. Another 3% say this is already the case.”

A meeting point between innovation and expectation

With conventional entry barriers vanishing and time-to-market getting shorter every year, even the most established brands are challenged by hyper disruptive business models that are based on re-engineering, disintermediating and process optimization. On the other front, mediocre messaging and stagnating delivery quality are inhibiting them from standing out from the competition.

Look at this data from Gartner for instance:

One of the biggest challenges is delivering enhanced and differentiated customer experience. Technology advancements have created major expectations in the minds of customers, who now want to communicate with businesses the same way as with their social networks. The immediacy of response, seamless interaction between communication channels and round-the-clock availability are now a minimum requirement to stay loyal to brands. This is compelling industry leaders to rethink how to engage with customers and boldly enter service realms such as VR, AR, and holograms.

At the forefront of this transformation is the coming of age of artificial intelligence. Gartner has even claimed that Artificial intelligence will be integrated into nearly every new software product and service by 2020.

AI-enabled omni-channel customer experience

Servion has been at the forefront of customer experience innovation for the last 20 years, working with blue-chip companies including many of the world’s largest banks and telecommunication operators. We have traversed the multi-channel world – from voice to email, chat, virtual reality, augmented reality and holograms. Servion has been working with Fortune 500 clients across the globe to help them tap into the power of Artificial intelligence and has produced outstanding benefits such as

  • Lowering the processing cost of transactions through robotic process automation
  • Improving customer response time & self-service through conversational IVR
  • Understand customers like never before with customer journey analytics
  • Optimising operational cost and resource management through a virtual assistant and chatbot

Earlier this year, Servion partnered with a leading bank to help them offer a humanlike voice and chat agent that can simulate a live agent – from initiating customer conversations to delivering information and taking actions on their behalf. They also wanted the virtual assistant to detect customer’s emotions, perform transactions, and augment context and personalization while elevating the overall customer experience.

Built on top of our homegrown omni-channel customer engagement platform – ServIntuit we developed a new virtual assistant solution based on Natural Language Processing Technology>/p>

This solution automates proactive text-related and voice engagement channels such as live agent support, live chat, consumer messaging apps or SMS.
