No matter what type of business you run, one question remains: How can we stay ahead of our competitors? With artificial intelligence-powered assistants, customer experience teams can leverage a versatile, responsive, and efficient tool to facilitate better customer service and engagement.
However, it’s essential to understand that maximizing the benefits of AI chatbots requires thoughtful implementation and patience to see significant results. To realize the transformational impact of this technology, every organization needs three things:
An AI assistant that creates more efficient customer service agent interactions
Customizations that address core business needs by leveraging customer data
Seamless integrating of AI into your customer experience workflows
For non-technical team members, the above bullet points can sound intimidating. But that’s the beauty of AI: you don’t have to be a data scientist to implement and build robust AI solutions that support a better customer experience.
If you’re eager to build your own AI assistant but unsure where to start, we’re here to help. Learn more about the role AI chatbots and assistants can play in enhancing your customer experience—and how Bird’s AI experience makes it easy to implement a customized bot into your CX workflows.
Why AI assistants make customer success agents more efficient
When it comes to customer engagement, the expectation of what AI can achieve is high, with 82% of executives reevaluating their consumer experience (CX) strategies in response to the progress made in generative AI, increasing competitive pressure, and shifting customer expectations.
AI chatbot performance addresses that pressure, enhancing your CX by helping your business:
Provide personalized experiences that strengthen brand loyalties and support customer retention. An AI assistant, for example, can refer to specific products and orders when asking customers about their satisfaction with a recent purchase. They can also be responsive to customer sentiments, taking on a more apologetic tone if they realize the customer is frustrated or angry.
Get to market faster with integrated communication around new products or special offers. Go-to-market messaging can be made accessible to AI chatbots to help them quickly adopt the language and key messaging points around those campaigns. This can improve consistency when releasing new products or services, or even undertaking a more intensive rebrand.
Improve time to resolution (TTR) and quality by implementing low-lift, low-cost technology solutions. By facilitating customer interactions at scale, AI assistants can alleviate CS bottlenecks and accelerate TTR—which can contribute to greater customer retention over time.
Free up your CS agents to focus on higher-value tasks. When AI assistants are able to take on a greater workload in communicating with end-users, your CS agents are more available to focus on complex tasks that AI isn’t equipped to handle.
A better customer experience lays a foundation for sustainable growth for your company. An investment in AI assistants and chatbots is an investment in improved customer satisfaction, a stronger brand experience, and an improved outlook for revenue generation.
How to customize your AI assistant for better customer support
The Power of Bird’s AI Assistants To Improve Your CX Value
Bird recognizes that each business has different needs. That’s why our AI experience offers a chatbot suite powered by integrations with leading AI platforms, including OpenAI and Gemini, to help you build an AI assistant that meets and exceeds your expectations.
If you’re looking for a low-stress chatbot with rock-solid fundamentals, Bird is here to help. But if you need a cutting-edge, fully autonomous chatbot with all the bells and whistles, our platform has everything you need, too.
When Bird customers deliver correct, timely, personalized responses to their customers—no matter where they are or what channel they’re using—they can build trust while driving agent efficiency.
Here are some of the features Bird offers to help you build powerful AI chatbots for a better customer experience:
Automated FAQs
Leverage generative models and traditional frameworks to give your chatbot experience the best of both worlds. This AI chatbot solution can auto-generate FAQs to simplify your integration process and accelerate your go-to-market velocity, a key metric for global scalability and profitability.
OpenAI dataset generation makes this solution a true “plug-and-play” option. You add company information and choose your channel, and it automatically builds conversational scenarios and pre-filled questions and responses. It can also suggest information based on a single question and auto-generate variations and corresponding answers.
Automated FAQs are easy to deploy through Bird’s AI Hub, which can be accessed through your dashboard. You can also train and test your FAQ model through the Bird platform prior to deployment.
Intelligent routing for agent support
Better bots mean higher-performing, better-informed support agents. With an intelligent routing bot solution from Bird, agents get instant access to AI technology that can understand context cues and route common requests to the correct resource with little to no human intervention. Beyond providing a hyper-personalized experience, it also helps agents save valuable time.
Intelligent routing can be further enhanced through Bird’s Agent Assistant solution, which allows your CS agents to generate replies using AI when they’re not sure how to answer a question. It can also help them summarize information for management and internal diagnostics. These summaries help agents add personal touches when giving stakeholders updates on the latest happenings in CX.
Knowledge base development to enhance AI agent intelligence
Knowledge bases collect a library of organized information to help your AI agent generate answers to your customers’ questions.
Bird facilitates knowledge base creation through its deep OpenAI integration. Folders will be set up to house all of the documents pertinent to that category of information. One folder, for example, could contain FAQ documents that have been auto-generated based on your website content. Other folders may be set up to store information related to ordering and shipping, account management, and other topics you want your AI chatbot to handle.
The larger and more organized your knowledge base is, the more valuable it will be to your AI solution—which will increase the volume of customer queries the AI assistant can answer.
An AI assistant is an investment worth making
The AI revolution is here to stay—and that’s great news for your CX team. Rather than replacing your CS agents, AI chatbots built with Bird can support your agents and streamline their own workflows while giving your customers a more responsive customer experience.
The challenge for some CX leaders is quantifying the business impact of AI chatbots on stakeholders. This means focusing on money saved, productivity gained, and customer satisfaction improvement rates.
With Bird’s Flow Builder and Inbox, customers have seen their First-Response Time (FRT) decrease, productivity increase, and partner onboarding experience improve.
Ralali increased their NPS score by 40% with Flow Builder
Aramex becomes 2.7x more efficient in agent productivity with Flow Builder and Inbox
Glovo reduced costs by as much as 80% for partner onboarding
Now, with the application of AI, businesses are empowered to improve efficiency and customer satisfaction while decreasing communication spend even further. The sooner your organization embraces AI assistants, the faster these benefits could be yours.
