Imagine a scenario where every customer service query is answered quickly, accurately, and personally, without the frustration of long wait times… Sounds good, right? Well, in reality, this scenario is no longer a distant dream but an increasingly close reality thanks to the combination of data and artificial intelligence (AI) that is transforming customer service.
Conversational agents (let’s call them bots from now on for simplicity) are at the heart of this revolution, utilizing the vast amount of data generated by each interaction to constantly improve their responses and anticipate customer needs. With the help of AI, these bots not only solve simple problems but also learn and evolve, offering a progressively smoother and more human-like experience.
Data driving the evolution of Customer Service
Data is the fuel driving conversational agents (yes, those bots). Each customer interaction, whether by phone, email, social media, or live chat, generates valuable information.
At Plusnet Solutions, as leading integrators of innovative customer service solutions, we see how many companies are beginning to grasp the immense potential that this technology offers to revolutionize their Customer Experience strategies. Indeed, the importance of data and AI in this transformation is evident. According to Zendesk, 82% of executives are reevaluating their consumer experience (CX) strategies due to recent technological advancements. This underscores how organizations are recognizing that data is not only valuable but essential for adapting and improving customer service in an increasingly competitive environment.
And you probably already know that bots, powered by this data, not only provide more accurate responses but also recognize patterns and anticipate customer needs, which significantly helps companies better define their strategies and actions focused on customer service.
Can I take it a step further? Speaking of sentiment analysis, this emerging powerful technology allows bots to detect the emotional tone of conversations, adjusting their language to offer a more empathetic experience, or even recommending ways for human agents to tailor their messages for better results. As mentioned, it’s not a dream—it’s already being applied in many Contact Centers.
AI as the brain behind personalization
As you can see, AI is the engine that turns information into actionable insights. Thanks to this data and algorithms, conversational agents are able to understand and contextualize questions in real-time, offering relevant and personalized responses. According to the LivePerson report, 96% of companies believe that generative AI will improve interactions with customers. And of course, it will!
Utilizing the vast amount of data generated by each interaction, these bots not only solve simple problems but also continuously learn and evolve, providing a more seamless and human-like experience. Hubspot’s research confirms this trend, with 79% of customer service specialists valuing AI and automation as key elements in their strategy. Additionally, 62% say that the technology helps better understand buyers, while 75% highlight that it improves collaboration and data sharing.
In this context, data from our technology partner Genesys reveals that 83% of organizations are transforming the customer experience to achieve measurable results, and 41% are updating or launching generative AI, virtual assistants, and bots.
