Observe.AI also announced its agent-first voice AI platform to improve caller satisfaction in call centres worldwide.
Bengaluru and US-based Observe.AI claims to empower call centre agents to do their jobs better. Its voice AI platform provides the agent with real-time feedback on customer sentiment and guides them on next best action during the customer call.
The AI platform listens to the call stream in real time, uses deep learning and natural language processing (NLP) to understand the context and generates suggestions and guidance for the agent.
&#8220;Humans like talking to humans because it gives them a sense of assurance which is at the core of a delightful customer experience. We are using the power of AI to make that voice conversation even more delightful by equipping the customer support agent with the tools needed while the call is going on. The agent no longer needs to place customers on hold, or transfer them around; continuous engagement is established until a successful resolution is reached. Our agent-first approach is all about making the job of the agent easier which translates into better productivity and higher customer satisfaction,&#8221; Swapnil Jain, founder and CEO of Observe.AI, said.
Founded in May 2017 by Akash Singh, Sharath Keshava and Jain, Observe.AI recently partnered with Talkdesk to launch its voice AI platform for Talkdesk customers.
&#8220;Companies have been actively discouraging their customers to call their agents for last two decades because of increasing costs even though it is a natural way for humans to get help. With the recent advances in deep learning and NLP, which will dramatically increase the productivity of agents, call centers are ready to become the first port of contact again for customer service,&#8221; Ram Gupta, MD, Nexus Venture Partners said.
