Contact Center and GenAI
Many of 8×8’s customers, and organizations in general, are trying to understand how to effectively implement AI, while still ensuring everything is safe and ethical. For many who have experimented with publicly available generative AI platforms, such as OpenAI, the results can be mixed or questionable. This is why it’s so important for organizations building generative AI engines to ensure the instructions, or prompts, for the creation of content or a graphic are clear and carefully managed to avoid embarrassing or incorrect automated AI responses.
In the contact center, the combination of generative AI and conversational AI often leads to better results as conversational AI is far more advanced in its readiness for contact center applications in terms of bounded responses and identifying the intent of the caller or user. However, we always recommend that organizations carefully examine the construction of the prompts used with generative AI in conjunction with conversational AI, allowing the organization to leverage AI while using a limited set of carefully worded instructions and user-provided data and documents that create boundaries around what the generative AI will introduce into the customer conversation. This will lead to better support, information, and an overall better experience for both customers and contact center agents.
