Call centers can use artificial intelligence (AI) to help customers in many ways, reducing resolution times for users and the amount of work required of agents.
Brands commonly use conversational AI to scale conversations with customers. Unlike one-to-one phone calls or static websites, conversational AI delivers personalized experiences for thousands — even millions — of people where and when they want.
