Agent

Drive enhanced CX with
around-the-clock digital
self-assistance.

Make great first impressions.

Your first contact with customers can make or break the experience. With Virtual Agent powered by artificial intelligence, you provide an automated, self-serve customer experience across digital channels that is consistent and personalized. From the first interaction, you can get customers answers quickly using the channel most convenient for them.

What is Virtual Agent?

Virtual Agent is a conversational, digital self-assistant for your customers. Consumers connect with you through their preferred channel 24x7x365 to resolve common inquiries and transactions. You gain an efficient way to manage repetitive tasks, control costs and maintain conversation context throughout the customer experience.

How does Virtual Agent work?

When customers reach out by phone, your website or app or common messaging apps, Virtual Agent automates the interaction, answering questions and performing tasks in a conversational way. It retrieves content from knowledge bases, business systems and trusted external sources, and uses AI to provide the most relevant responses.
