AI customer support agent

Definition

An AI customer support agent is an AI agent that answers customers' questions automatically, from your help content and policies, by chat, voice or video. With a real-time avatar it holds the conversation face to face, which helps with complex or sensitive questions.

How AI customer support agents work

The agent answers from a knowledge base, can look up order or account data through function calling, and hands over to a person when it can't help or the customer asks. Every conversation can be recorded and analysed to find gaps in the knowledge base.

Video is most useful where trust or explanation matters: onboarding, public services, healthcare information and high-value products.

How Beyond Presence does it
