Answer and route calls with voice AI
Customer service answers calls with voice AI and routes requests to shorten waiting times on hold
Fits: Customer service · Office, administration & casework · Health & care
Callers say in their own words what it is about and go straight to the right team instead of waiting on hold. Simple questions such as opening hours or order status are answered immediately.
Is this for you?
- Many calls first reach the switchboard and are then transferred.
- A large share of requests are repeats and can be clearly assigned to a team.
- Your phone system or customer service system can be connected to a voice assistant, or you want to check exactly that.
Write down twenty call notes from the last few days without names, phone numbers and customer numbers, and have them sorted by request and destination using the template below. This shows you what share of calls could be routed cleanly at all.
How to go about it
- Select the most frequent reasons for calling
- Decide what the voice AI says and what it never says
- Connect the voice assistant to the phone system and customer data
- Define handover to a person
- Launch with an AI notice in the greeting
- Review calls every week
