Operational Impact

Increase Customer Engagement

Superior Performance at Go Live and Throughout Application Lifecycle

Interactions unique combination of AI and Human in the Loop technology provides up to 97% intent understanding, resulting in immediate recognition of a customer’s intent starting day one. This results in increased success in handling complex use cases via self-service.

Scalable and Flexible to your Needs

You have the ability to scale the IVA to match the conversation volume of your contact center. What's more, you can toggle the conversation types the IVA handles, meaning it can handle routine inquiries while sensitive interactions are escalated to agents for quick response in time of emergency (e.g. during an outage, rate hike or moratorium).

Invested in Your Success
