[24]7 Agent Assist Integrates with Google Contact Center AI

In a previous blog, “AI for Contact Centers = Better Customer Experiences,” I described a new feature in our [24]7 Digital Assist™ product: [24]7 Agent Assist™. This ground-breaking technology assists customer service agents, enabling them to drive more productive, context-aware, and personalized conversations than ever before.

[24]7 Agent Assist draws on any of three recommendation engines, one of which is Google Contact Center AI (CCAI) Agent Assist. In this blog, I’ll dive into the ways [24]7 Agent Assist and Google CCAI are integrated—and how integrating the world’s leading platforms for conversational AI and the enterprise cloud empowers CX agents to create better customer experiences.

Google CCAI Integration: Functional Benefits

[24]7 Digital Assist customers who use Google CCAI Agent Assist for a recommendation engine gain access to a diverse range of information sources. These sources are already leveraged in Dialogflow virtual agent solutions through the [24]7.ai integration with Google CCAI’s Smart Reply, FAQ Assist, and Doc Assist features.

This integration enables companies to discover, access, and use the right information from various knowledge sources. It automatically provides client-curated smart replies and real-time, step-by-step assistance without involving an agent in a search, and it gathers information from brand-approved knowledge sources, both structured and unstructured.

Integrating Agent Assist and Google CCAI Agent Assist increases agent effectiveness by:

• Surfacing relevant documents while agents converse with customers
• Analyzing archived data—including call recordings and chat logs—that reveal themes and keywords for quickly diagnosing customer concerns
• Providing contextual, next-best response recommendations to accelerate service

Google Contact Center AI makes it easy for enterprises—especially those with limited AI expertise—to deploy AI in their contact centers. Its integration with [24]7 Agent Assist essentially gives Google CCAI customers an out-of-the-box solution.

Google CCAI Integration: How Agents Use It

Agents using [24]7 Agent Assist with Google Contact Center AI as the recommendation engine provide better customer service via the following:

• Knowledge Assistance via FAQ Assist and Doc Assist
