@AstuteSolutions announces the release of EVA, the Email Virtual Assistant that automates #CustomerService email management. #NLP and #ML ensure accurate replies by learning from what human agents do.
At a time when many contact centers are dealing with unprecedented email volume and entirely new types of questions due to the COVID-19 pandemic, EVA is the solution to mounting email backlogs. Using natural language processing, EVA reads incoming messages, interprets the correct case coding from the text, and uses response history from human agents to craft the reply. The tool can even determine the amount and type of goodwill to be sent, including replacement products, coupons, and gift cards. Finally, the completed case and email response passes to a human agent to QA before sending, allowing them to refine and edit the text as they see fit. This process combines the speed and efficiency of automation with the finesse that only live agents can provide when engaging with customers.

The potential return on investment for companies that deploy EVA is substantial, as the tool can process incoming emails and prepare them for agent QA in near-real time. Without automation, companies spend an average of $5 to $13 per email, so the dollar savings of using EVA is significant – all the while preserving high response quality and accuracy. Because EVA replicates the best agent responses from the past, replies do not have the stiff, robotic quality often associated with automated email replies.
