4 Reasons to Use AI in the Contact Center:

Conversations with machines and AI aren’t easy to create. Chatbots maybe available to deploy, but setting up and maintaining them can be a difficult task. This is even more complex when working with a NLP (Natural Language Processing) tool to convert this same technology into voice responses over the phone. Even with these difficulties, the benefits to launching AI in the contact center outweigh the level of effort. There are some major upsides to using this advanced technology in your contact center.

Efficiency
