Genesys has released a new agent-assist capability to auto-summarize customer conversations across voice and digital channels.
In doing so, it automates much of the post-contact processing for agents, knocking valuable seconds off every contact center interaction.
After all, there is no need to reflect on the call, summarize it, and type lengthy notes. Instead, agents only need to review, tweak, and publish the conversation summaries.
With post-contact processing taking some businesses as much as three minutes per contact – according to a Genesys survey – the savings may be huge.
Of course, that is far from the case in most service operations. Nonetheless, even if the contact center shaves just a few seconds from every call, it will likely see a quick ROI, which will only amplify across a large agent population.
Moreover, agents may benefit from a consistent post-call note format, making it easier to search for vital context when customers make a follow-up contact.
That consistent, bot-generated content may also support service operations mine for customer insights with analytics tools, improve historical reporting, and adhere to compliance guidelines.
This Is Just the Start

These may come quickly, as Olivier Jouve, Chief Product Officer at Genesys, stated:
