What is AI Copilot? its features and benefits for your Support Agents?

Customer support can be tough. Every day, the agents or CSRs face similar customer questions, but they can vary a lot in how tricky they are. And when customers are upset, things can get even more difficult.   

Moreover, CSRs need to manage a high volume of calls and meet the expected speed. This often means working long hours with minimal breaks. The result? Higher average handling time (AHT), reduced productivity, increased customer wait times, decreased CSAT, and potential negative impacts on team morale. Indirectly, poor customer support experience can also affect customer retention.  

How about using a great tool that brings together the potential of AI and humans?   

AI Copilot, powered by Generative AI works like a co-pilot to support your human agents. Let's see how it can streamline and automate customer support workflows dramatically.  

What is an AI Copilot? 

An AI Copilot or Real Time Agent Assist, as the name suggests, is an AI-powered assistant to help live agents, CSRs, sales representatives, and customer service agents with their workflows in real time.   

It semi-automates several parts of the customer support processes to reduce AHT, first-time issue resolution, increase agent productivity and CSAT and achieve real-time quality and compliance monitoring, and more.  

AI copilot works on both voice and chat interactions. It knows how customers feel and what they want, giving quick and customized answers to your human agents during support or sales chats. The agent can make use of these suggestions to quickly resolve queries, troubleshoot issues, or boost digital sales.   

Digital Sales - For example, during a call about auto insurance, the AI Copilot suggests upselling opportunities. If the customer owns a home but lacks homeowners' insurance with the company, it recommends a bundled auto and home insurance package. 

Debt Collections - For example, while the agent is discussing the overdue payment with a debtor, AI Copilot provides real-time suggestions on how to encourage them to make a payment. If the customer mentions experiencing financial hardship due to unemployment, the tool may suggest offering a temporary payment deferral or a reduced payment plan.
