Today, the need for exceptional business-consumer interactions has never been greater: 80% of customers say their experience with a company is as important as the product or service. But the public’s definition of excellence has also risen.
If companies hope to meet customer expectations for excellent service, they must get customer service issues resolved within an hour. According to the 2024 HubSpot State of Customer Service report, 21% of customers expect their issues to be resolved immediately, while 23% expect them to be resolved within an hour.
Customer service agents must find a way to respond to an average of 17,630 support requests per month — about 100 tickets per hour for a standard 9-5 employee. AI chatbot support eases the burden by automating low-complexity tickets, analyzing customer sentiment, and generating personalized responses, all under the supervision of experienced customer service agents. Assisting agents with typing: Large language models (LLMs) enable predictive typing and automated response generation. These chatbots can understand written and audio content and suggest appropriate answers for agents to review, accept, or edit.
Self-service options: AIcan instantly answer frequently asked questions (FAQs) and guide customers through troubleshooting steps, enabling them to independently resolve issues at any time of the day.
By investing in LLM and developing service bot capabilities, companies can speed up response times, increase satisfaction, and improve the user journey.
Tailored customer experienceUsing AI in live chat allows you to personalize interactions with your customers and provide more consistent, quality service.
Let’s say a disgruntled customer leaves a message or types a frustrated message to a customer service representative: My package didn’t arrive again. LLM, fine-tuned with sentiment analysis tools, can identify the tone of the message by identifying capitalization and the use of negative adverbs. Within seconds, they can flag an automated verification to investigate previous interactions with the customer and their loyalty to the brand, and make an executive decision to offer an apology, a replacement courier, or a discount.
Based on the context of the message, AI can provide a customized solution to the customer’s inquiry and adjust its language and tone to match the customer’s preferences and communication style.
Customer service agents can also program the chatbot to reply to pending messages immediately and rate the severity of the sentiment based on internal values. For example, if a customer has multiple issues, a high severity level might trigger the bot to connect the customer directly to an agent.
Anticipate Customer NeedsThe more agents know about customers, the better and more proactive support they can provide. AI helps agents extract insights from every conversation, and the more customers interact with chatbots, the better the company can meet their needs.
Imagine an online customer browsing through several pairs of jeans and adding one to their cart, but not yet checking out. Based on this behavior, the chatbot can predict the customer’s potential needs and provide proactive assistance, such as, “Looking for the perfect top to pair with these jeans? Check out our new arrivals!” or, “Need help finding the right size? Our size chart can help!” If the customer has purchased similar items in the past, the chatbot can better match items to their style and even pair new items with previous purchases. If a customer responds with, “Hey, I like the blue ones, do you have more like this?” these preferences can be saved for future interactions.
By leveraging AI to better understand customers’ needs, companies can improve response accuracy, take on more complex tasks, and even anticipate customers’ needs before they ask.
Customer service teams are challenged to process a high volume of orders every hour while maintaining patience and high-quality service. AI-powered real-time support provides a much-needed solution by automating routine tasks, improving agent efficiency, and providing data-driven insights. Agents freed from monotonous duties can prioritize delivering high-quality customer interactions. Additionally, as AI capabilities expand and data collection grows, the potential for hyper-personalized and predictive customer service becomes increasingly feasible.
