As businesses increasingly rely on technology to support their operations, the world of customer service is also evolving. One important trend in this space is the emergence of Tier 0 and Tier 1 support levels that prioritise self-service and basic support respectively.
In recent years, AI virtual assistants have emerged as powerful tools that can help enhance the quality and efficiency of these crucial support tiers. Tier 0 support, for example, enables customers to access tools and resources that can help them resolve their issues independently, without the need for human intervention, with Tier 1 support focusing on addressing basic issues and inquiries that are relatively simple and can be resolved quickly. By investing in self-service support, businesses can not only benefit their customers, but also reduce the strain on their support teams, allowing them to focus on more complex inquiries.
Here are some basic Tier 0 support implementations for your business to consider:
- FAQs
By using topic summarisation and analysis on customer support tickets, transcripts, and emails, businesses can identify and create a comprehensive list of frequently asked questions tailored to their specific customer base.
- Knowledge Base
Generative AI can be utilised to draft knowledge base articles, accelerating the writing process and ensuring coverage of long-tail questions. This provides customers with easy access to detailed information on various topics, even if they’re hard to navigate to on your website.
- Virtual Assistant
Integrating a virtual assistant with the FAQs and knowledge base you already have enables the AI to answer customer inquiries more effectively. It can also collect customer details for a richer set of capabilities, such as generating quotes, submitting insurance claims, or applying for mortgages.
- Smart Search
Implementing a smart search feature allows customers to easily search through the website, documents, and tables. By presenting summarised results or specific sections, customers can find the exact information they’re looking for more efficiently.
As the demand for fast, efficient, and personalised customer service continues to rise, businesses are increasingly turning to AI virtual assistants to meet these expectations. By utilising these powerful tools, companies can not only enhance their support offerings but also establish deeper connections with their customers.
