Executive Brief

Business Problem Solved

Traditional customer service is expensive, slow, and inconsistent because agents must manually look up information, follow scripts, and document every interaction. Generative AI reduces handle time, improves first-contact resolution, and scales support without linearly adding headcount.

Value Drivers

Cost reduction via automation of repetitive inquiriesFaster response and resolution times (AHT and FCR improvements)24/7 coverage without proportional staffing costsHigher agent productivity (AI drafts, summaries, and suggestions)Improved customer satisfaction via more consistent, personalized answersBetter knowledge reuse across channels and regions

Strategic Moat

Tight integration of generative AI into existing customer service workflows (CRM, ticketing, chat), plus proprietary historical ticket data and knowledge bases that improve answer quality and make the system harder to replicate.

Differentiation Factor

Positioned around applied generative AI specifically for customer-service workflows (ticketing, chat, email, knowledge bases), rather than being a generic horizontal AI assistant; focus is on measurable contact-center KPIs like handle time, deflection, and CSAT.
