Contact centers can now leverage AI to automate the evaluation of every customer interaction and quickly identify the most common reasons for customer inquiries.
Calabrio, the workforce performance company, announced two artificial intelligence (AI) offerings for general availability: Auto QM and Trending Topics. These AI-powered quality management solutions are designed to eliminate time-intensive manual review processes and revolutionize how contact centers manage, monitor and assess agent interactions to provide better customer service outcomes.
Part of Calabrio’s broader Interaction Analytics suite, the two new features are another leap forward in Calabrio’s application of powerful AI to improve contact center management and transform analysis of customer conversations.
The Auto QM feature automates the evaluation of 100% of customer interactions, across a consistent range of key performance criteria. With AI driving assessments, businesses gain unbiased, comprehensive and actionable insights and can pinpoint opportunities to improve both customer experience and agent development.
The Trending Topics tool leverages AI to automatically assess thousands of customer interactions and organize them into a manageable list of around 100 prioritized topics. The tool provides organizations with instant insights into the most common reasons for customer inquiries and simplifies root cause analysis, accelerating issue resolution and impact.
“Since 2016, Calabrio has been innovating and automating quality management with AI, consistently focusing on making agents’ jobs easier—and customer experiences better and more personalized. These new generative AI solutions help contact centers more easily understand interactions and improve agent experiences. We know this has a positive impact on the customer experience,” said Dave Rhodes, Chief Executive Officer at Calabrio.
