The Role of AI in Customer Services

AI is playing a massive role in modern customer service. After all, the power of AI means that things that were once not possible are now within our capabilities. Companies are finding new ways to implement AI into their business’s customer service, and so using a tool such as Copilot for Service will help you keep up with this new paradigm shift.

Here are some of the ways that companies have been utilising Artificial Intelligence in customer service —

  • Automating Tasks and Providing 24/7 Support: Chatbots that have been powered by AI can answer questions, troubleshoot issues, and even handle basic customer transactions, without the need for a human chat agent. They can do this around the clock, too, meaning that companies can spend less on personnel.
  • Intelligent and Efficient Prioritisation: AI can analyse customer queries and ensure that they get routed to the right agent based on skillset and availability. This ensures that customers get better support all around, without having to wait to be redirected to the right agent.
  • Empowering Human Agents: This is where Microsoft Copilot for Service comes in. AI can empower human agents by giving them real-time suggestions and recommendations to agents during conversations. This includes scouring the knowledge base for relevant articles, troubleshooting steps, or even product recommendations.

Ultimately, AI refines the whole customer journey and ensures that customer satisfaction is at a high level.
