Eliminating wait time and abandoned calls with easy to implement voice AI, PolyAI is changing the way enterprises handle customer service over the phone.
London, United Kingdom — PolyAI, a leader in voice-first conversational AI, today announced its availability with Amazon Connect, an easy-to-use omnichannel cloud customer service contact center from Amazon Web Services (AWS). The combination of Amazon Connect and PolyAI voice assistants will help enterprises reach new levels of customer self-service over the phone, across more languages. This will help customer service contact centers answer every call, eliminate wait times and deliver more personalized and convenient experiences for customers at a lower cost, and with fewer agents.
PolyAI and Amazon Connect
With just a few simple steps, enterprises can effortlessly transfer calls to a PolyAI voice assistant while always maintaining the ability to handover the customer to an Amazon Connect-powered call center when required. Now customers will be able to:
- Automate simple and complex customer interactions, such as short FAQs or negotiating availability for a reservation, in 100+ languages and dialects with a custom brand voice.
- Automatically identify and verify caller identity using natural conversation to provide personalized self-service 24/7, freeing up time for call center agents to focus on issues that require problem-solving, judgment and empathy.
- Capture and track custom analytics about customer service calls beyond simple call metrics, unlocking a new actionable source of front-line business intelligence.
