Designing human-like voice bots for IVR

One thing is for sure: Covid-19 hit call centres hard.

Some saw the frailty of legacy systems and infrastructure that require you to be fixed at a desk. They had to close completely, unable to work remotely.

Some could enable operatives to work from home, but they were snowed under with a barrage of calls. For some, it was well in excess of double call volumes.

A few realised what was happening and acted. They implemented (or increased their usage of) conversational AI.

Find out how they did, and how you can create human-like, automated conversations that allow you to increase self-service and scale your demand management with Einav Eitamar, CEO, Voca.ai.
