We\u2019ve put our heads together at Replicant to develop a cost-effective, scalable solution \u2013 AI Voice Responder \u2013 a solution that can start answering calls in just days, eliminating wait times and managing customers\u2019 questions regardless of agent availability.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>The AI Voice Responder provides a quick and cost-effective way for businesses to better manage fluctuating call center demand. It can triage high call volumes and answer frequently asked questions to quickly resolve common support issues without live agents. It can also classify calls based on topics and urgency, enabling businesses to prioritize and respond according to specific customer issues.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>The AI Voice Responder logs cases automatically in Salesforce and Zendesk so agents can prioritize follow-ups to resolve more complicated issues. Additionally, it can automate interactive outbound calls to update customers with the latest information, collect information, or reschedule appointments.Customers can effectively use AI Voice Responder across multiple industries to support their specific needs, here are a few ways as to how:<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<ul>\r\n<li><strong>Travel\u00a0<\/strong>companies can triage call spikes to reduce customer hold times and enable self-service\u00a0<\/li>\r\n<li><strong>Telecom<\/strong>\u00a0companies can troubleshoot tier-1 networking issues and answer FAQs for understaffed call centers<\/li>\r\n<li><strong>Gig Economy<\/strong>\u00a0companies can manage spikes in demand with automated outbound calls for ordering and delivering<\/li>\r\n<li><strong>Healthcare<\/strong>\u00a0companies can disseminate voice-based information like clinic hours and testing site locations<\/li>\r\n<li><strong>eCommerce<\/strong>\u00a0keep customers informed on stock availability, return policies, and delivery updates<\/li>\r\n<li><strong>Government<\/strong>\u00a0agencies can give citizens the latest updates on safety information and unexpected events<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>One early customer is using Voice Responder to help its customers with basic hardware issues for a commercial product, replacing its offshore call center that was impacted by global lockdowns.
