Far too many CX leaders view customer service as an either/or decision when it comes to AI—either fully automate with virtual agents or rely entirely on live agents. But in reality, AI shines best with a “both/and” approach, blending human expertise with advanced technology.
This blend, known as “human-centric AI,” drives impressive improvements in business metrics by allowing humans and machines to collaborate effectively to solve customer issues. For instance, AI can suggest upsell opportunities to service agents, resulting in a 35% boost in revenue from the contact center. It also provides context that enables agents to personalize interactions, leading to higher customer satisfaction and increased referrals.
While AI-powered virtual agents now handle 22% of customer interactions autonomously, the role of humans remains critical. It’s their guidance and expertise that keep virtual agents on track and continuously improving.
