Systems for and methods of determining the priority of a call interaction include receiving a call interaction from a call center; validating, by a validation and transcription engine, that the call interaction is authentic; converting, by the validation and transcription engine, the call interaction into text; extracting, by a data calculation engine, organization, location, and time information from the text; calculating, by the data calculation engine, a priority of the call interaction from the extracted information and the text by determining an important of words in the text and correlating the words to a priority class using a pre-trained algorithm that is trained on emergency-type and emergency services-type language; determining that the call interaction should be transmitted to a queue of the call center for initial handling by a call center agent; and transmitting the call interaction, the calculated priority, and the extracted information to the call center.

Disclosed here is a method to determine a user intent when a user device initiates an interactive voice response (IVR) call with a wireless telecommunication network. A processor can detect the IVR call initiated with the network and determine whether the user device is a member of the network. Upon determining that the user device is a member of the network, the processor can obtain user history including interaction history between the user and the network. Based on the user history, the processor can predict the user intent when the user initiates the IVR call. The processor can detect whether user device is a 5G capable device. Upon the determining that the device is 5G capable and based on the predicted user intent, the processor can suggest to the user an application configured to execute on the user device and configured to address the predicted user intent.

Customers can become bored with an interaction with an agent. By providing speech and/or images, of a celebrity disguising the speech, and/or image, of the agent, customers can appear to interact with a particular celebrity. As a result, customers are more likely to stay engaged and have a positive experience. The celebrity, or a particular persona of a celebrity, may be selected from customer preferences and/or a purpose of the call. For example, a movie star's role may have a persona, such as a “heavy,” suitable for collection calls (audio or audio-video), whereas a scientific or technical innovator may be selected for technical support calls.

A contact center, communication system, and method of operating a contact center are provided. In one example, the contact center includes a tunable chatbot stored in memory and a chatbot tuning function that controls and adjusts a personality characteristic of the tunable chatbot while the tunable chatbot is interacting with a customer via a customer communication device.

Systems and methods are provided for dynamic routing of an automated telephony system. The automated telephony system facilitates functions desired by a caller, via an automated call with the caller. A machine-learning analysis system extracts data from the automated call, performs machine-learning via the extracted data to identify a likely motivation of the caller associated with the automated call, and provides the likely motivation to the automated telephony system. The automated telephony system then receive the likely motivation from the machine-learning analysis system and dynamically routes the automated call based upon the likely motivation.

Systems and methods for automating the use of an IVR system are provided herein. A method includes traversing an interactive voice response (IVR) system using a chatbot, determining a menu structure of the IVR system using audio processing, the menu structure comprising selectable telephonic options, and storing the menu structure in a database. The menu structure, such as an IVR tree, can be used by the chatbot to fulfill user tasks and other requests.

Systems for and methods of determining the priority of a call interaction include receiving a call interaction from a call center; validating, by a validation and transcription engine, that the call interaction is authentic; converting, by the validation and transcription engine, the call interaction into text; calculating, by the data calculation engine, a priority of the call interaction from the text and organization, location, and time information in the text by determining an important of words in the text and correlating the words to a priority class using a pre-trained algorithm that is trained on emergency-type and emergency services-type language; determining that the call interaction should be transmitted to the call center for initial handling by a call center agent; and transmitting the call interaction, the calculated priority, and the extracted information to the call center.

A system for managing customer-to-business voice communication has a network-connected communications device and instructions executable on the communications device from a non-transitory physical medium, the instructions providing a first function for determining if a destination asserted requires treatment, a second function for sending data from the communications device to a network-connected server, a third function for receiving alternative destination information from the server, and a fourth function for establishing communication with the business based on the returned destination information.

A method for creating a push notification at a call center includes: receiving a call from a caller device; receiving, from the caller device, caller identification information; receiving, from the caller device, an inquiry; generating an encrypted token including the caller identification information and the inquiry; and when an agent is available, sending a push notification to the caller device for connecting the caller to the agent, the push notification being associated with the encrypted token, and wherein the agent uses the caller identification information from the encrypted token when the agent is addressing the inquiry.

A redirection and messaging system receives telephony information identifying a caller and call context from a telephony system. The system selects one of a plurality of messaging operators based on the call context, optionally sends an introductory message to the caller via a messaging service, and generates a message interface for the selected message operator. The message interface includes the caller and call context and any messages sent between the caller and the selected message operator, with an input interface allowing the selected message operator to input and send messages to the caller.
