Solution: Dynamic AI Agent – Trina


01.

24/7 customer service

Yellow.ai deployed dynamic AI agent (Trina) and after-hours voicebot to provide 24/7 self-serve options to customers in English and French on email, website, voice for services like pickup scheduling, billing and payment, report missed pickup and vacation hold, with live agent transfers for complex issues.

02.

Voice AI automation

The after-hours voice bot leverages speech-to-text and text-to-speech automation solutions to manage customer queries beyond working hours when human agents are unavailable. The voice bot filters and prioritizes the incoming voice requests so that the agents can focus on high priority tasks rather than listening to all incoming queries.

03.

Customer feedback and insights

Dynamic AI agent Trina helps collect feedback from customers on the service quality, pickup punctuality, driver behavior and more to provide insights and ways to improve service quality levels.
