For all the customer-centric brands, customer experience is the key to running the business. By employing AI agent assist, a stupefying customer support agent, you will observe tremendous growth in your brand’s retention rate, CSAT score, and an annual increase in sales by at least $10 million.

What is an AI agent assist?

AI agent assist is an AI-empowered assistant that helps customer experience and customer success teams respond to customer queries by churning out all the data and creating the best possible suggestions for agents to respond. This smart assistant can amalgamate all the channels of communication for a brand and personalize conversations as per the context.

Today, in the post-covid-digitally-transformed era, CX agents have been more engaged than ever. Beginning from the top of the funnel, the awareness stage, till the end of the funnel (delight stage), CX has been more involved than ever. Yet, there is a communication gap between customers and brands, one that needs to be bridged to be a successful brand.

As per Robert Neely, a Forbes council member, and Director of marketing at Lima One Capital, a business doesn’t communicate a message that really benefits the customer. 

AI agent assist plays a great role to build a bridge for communication for customers and businesses. It helps a brand centralize its data, process it, and create information, that helps CX agents solve customer queries and cross-sell or up-sell products.

What are the features of AI agent assist?

Was it a quick response with an accurate message? Or was it that the brand had all your previous details in one place and you didn’t have to juggle between different departments to get your query resolved? Or was it because of an omnichannel presence of the brand?

For any of the reasons that satisfied you as a customer, would you like to have similar features for your brand too?
