AI enables customer service systems to perceive their environment, deal with what they perceive, solve problems, and act to achieve a specific goal.
AI, or artificial intelligence, is the substitution of human intelligence processes with technology and machine learning. Through computer programming, software tools can perform tasks commonly associated with live human interactions such as chat and text conversations, offer decisioning, capacity planning, and even volume and schedule forecasting.
AI customer service is commonly associated with conversational IVRs, voice assistants, virtual agents, and chatbots, but it can be applied in many ways for customer service use cases. Speech analytics and agent assistance are also examples of AI assisted service.
