There are different goals to start using digital agents in your CCC process:
GOAL 1-Digital agent as a virtual employee
As a virtual employee, bots take over simple tasks from service employees or the web care team. Bots, for example, receive first-line customer contact and can answer easy FAQ questions.
GOAL 2-Digital agent to support human agent
To support a service agent, a chatbot makes suggestions for answers based on business rules data or historical information of the customer. Service agents then only have to approve or reject this answer.
GOAL 3-Digital agent as a work planner
As a work planner, the chatbot already requests the necessary information, such as an e-mail address and/or a customer number, and prepares this information. This way the agent can pick up the work more efficiently.
