What is contact centre AI?

AI, or artificial intelligence, is a technology that enables machines and computers to perform tasks usually carried out by humans. Machine learning and natural language processing (which you’ll often hear when people talk about AI) are branches, or applications of AI.

Contact centre AI (or CCAI) is the specific application of this technology for use in—you guessed it—contact centres. Generally, CCAI used to automate repetitive tasks and empower agents to deliver a better customer experience more efficiently.

Contact centre AI features, built right into the platform

Live transcriptions

Dialpad’s AI, which we call Dialpad Ai, can transcribe calls—in real time. (And it can do it more accurately than almost all leading competitors!) Not only that, it also delivers a call summary afterward with key highlights to the agent on the call. And thanks to machine learning, the more you use Dialpad Ai, the more accurate it gets.

Sentiment analysis

What if a supervisor could see customer satisfaction levels for every call their agents are on—in real time? That’s what Dialpad’s sentiment analysis feature does­. It can identify specific words or phrases live on calls, determine whether a call is going positively or poorly, and show that with a simple marker on the list of active calls. This way, managers can spot problems quickly and jump in to help agents before things go south.

[RTA cards] really helped us build out the way we train CSRs, [as it] pulls up guidance for them right away as opposed to making them reach out to someone else.

Custom APIs

With Dialpad’s APIs, you can build custom integrations and automations for your organisation’s specific dialog flows and customer interactions. For example, if your contact centre agents regularly collect payment information over the phone, there’s an API that automatically pauses call and screen recording to help you stay compliant!

  • 📈 Scalability

  • Incredibly easy to scale up and down—you can add and remove call queues, and hundreds of users all on your own!
