AutoMate - Automated Interface Between Call Center Agents and Network Orchestration Systems via Application Programming Interfaces (APIs)
Novel tools and techniques are provided for implementing call center-based automated interface between call center agents and network orchestration systems, in some cases, via application programming interfaces (“APIs”). In various embodiments, an automated services platform may collect, from data sources, data associated with services provided by a service provider. The collected data may be autonomously analyzed to identify any issues with provisioning a service(s) to a customer. If so, one or more automation actions may be autonomously identified to address the determined issue(s). The automated services platform may autonomously send instructions to automation bots to perform the identified one or more automation actions, and may generate and present a UI on a user terminal operated by a user, the UI displaying information regarding at least one of the at least one issue, the affected service(s), the identified one or more automation actions, or the automation bots, and/or the like.
Communication session using a virtual environment
Implementations for providing communication services using a virtual environment are described. An audio communication session may be established between a first user device and a second user device. The second user device may answer the audio communication session using a virtual environment. The virtual environment may be updated to display virtual features associated with the communication session.
Systems and methods for proactive listening bot-plus person advice chaining
A computing system facilities live and robo-advising sessions, and transitions therebetween based on detection of triggers. The computing system may extract voice inputs of a user from ambient sounds captured using a sound sensor. Based on an analysis of the voice inputs and detection of corresponding triggers, the computing system may initiate a robo-advising session, or a live communication session between a user computing device and an advisor computing device. Detection of another trigger during the robo-advising session or the live communication session may lead to a transition to a live communication session or a robo-advising session, respectively.
Virtual communications assessment system in a multimedia environment
A system for data recording across a network includes a session border controller connecting incoming data from the network to an endpoint recorder. A load balancer is connected to the network between the session border controller and the endpoint and receives the incoming data from the session border controller, wherein the load balancer comprises computer memory and a processor configured to parse the incoming data into video data and audio data according to identification protocols accessible by the processor from the computer memory. A recording apparatus includes recording memory that receives the incoming data from the load balancer, stores a duplicate version of the incoming data in the recording memory, and connects the incoming data to the endpoint.
System and Method of Integrating to an External Search Application in an Employee Desktop Web Client
In the field of government engagement management, for users of an employee desktop web client, it is now possible, within the web client application, to search and read articles and/or knowledge content that has been authored to external locations. Due to this integration to external, third-party applications, content and/or articles can be displayed to an agent on the employee desktop web client graphical user interface. Agents can enter free text into a specific search field and review the results in summary form, and then select an article in HTML format to progress the current interaction with the client. This functionality adds value to the agent experience and enables the agent to provide an improved service to the end client. Results may be filtered by the search engine as well. Moreover, this system and method improves the operation of the computer in that the computer running such a system in the past was not able to integrate in such a fashion in a web client format. This system and method also enables an agent to handle calls with the web client more efficiently, and allows agents on the web client to automatically classify.
Methods for simultaneous interaction on a web page by a customer and customer service representative
A computer-implemented method and system for enhancing interaction between a customer using a client computer and a customer service representative of a company using a workstation. A Web session is commenced on a Web site for the client computer of the customer, wherein the Web session includes displaying a first Web page to the customer. A telephonic interaction is commenced between the customer and the customer service representative and a split screen is displayed on the workstation. The split screen including the first Web page and a second Web page, wherein the second Web page is only viewable by the customer service representative. An application is caused to be moved from the second Web page to the first Web page for review and interaction by the customer via the client computer.
Method and apparatus for providing assistance to calling customers
A method and apparatus for providing assistance to customers seeking assistance from agents of an enterprise is disclosed. The method includes receiving a signal indicating the caller's wish to speak with a live agent associated with the enterprise to seek the assistance from the live agent. In response to a receipt of the signal, it is determined whether at least one live agent from among a plurality of live agents associated with the enterprise is available for a voice interaction with the caller. Subsequent to determining that no live agent from among the plurality of live agents is currently available for the voice interaction with the caller, the caller is diverted to an asynchronous messaging channel. A textual messaging-based interaction is facilitated between a messaging agent and the caller on the asynchronous messaging channel to provide the assistance to the caller.
Method, system, and computer program product to accurately route a call request
A system, method, and computer program product to accurately route a call is disclosed, by providing a resource interface having one or more interface elements mapping a resource to a call based on current calls and predicted calls, determining a dynamic handling profile from a plurality of dynamic handling profiles that include call information which maps to a resource to provide a ruleset for handling one or more types of call requests, identifying a routing rule comprising one or more routing rules of the ruleset based on caller information, receiving an activation of a resource interface element of the resource interface to initiate a call routing request to forward an assigned call to the resource, and controlling the call routing request according to the routing rule of the dynamic handling profile to perform a call function associated with the assigned call.
System and method for automatic measurement of interactivity score for customer-agent interaction
Embodiments of the present invention provide systems and methods for determining an engagement level for a customer-agent interaction (e.g., a phone call, text chat, etc.), and the engagement level can be used to evaluate the performance of the agent. For example, the engagement level can be used to determine or adjust a skill level of the agent, a performance of the communication channel that facilitates the interaction, and/or an optimal workload of the agent. According to some embodiments, the engagement level is used to determine that the agent may be experiencing difficulty satisfying a customer inquiry such that the agent should be assigned resources or assistance.
System and method for communication analysis for use with agent assist within a cloud-based contact center
Methods to reduce agent effort and improve customer experience quality through artificial intelligence. The Agent Assist tool provides contact centers with an innovative tool designed to reduce agent effort, improve quality and reduce costs by minimizing search and data entry tasks The Agent Assist tool is natively built and fully unified within the agent interface while keeping all data internally protected from third-party sharing.
