Predicting call drivers using ai based on customer digital footprint
A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11924380B2) outlines a method and computer system for predicting call drivers in a call center environment. The method involves selecting a customer, constructing a digital footprint of the customer by gathering digital breadcrumbs from user data, inputting this footprint into an artificial intelligence (AI) engine, obtaining probability values from the AI engine, and selecting a predicted call driver from a range of options based on these values. The predicted call driver is then provided to the call center associated with the company. The AI engine utilized in this process can include decision trees, linear classifiers, neural networks, and time series classifiers to enhance accuracy.
Furthermore, the method includes detecting incoming calls from customers at the call center, retrieving digital breadcrumbs from user data stored in an enterprise data warehouse (EDW) database, and selecting the call driver with the highest probability value as the predicted call driver. The computer system described in the patent includes a processor executing computer-executable instructions to carry out the method, ensuring efficient and accurate prediction of call drivers based on customer digital footprints. The system also allows for the reception of customer indications to further refine the selection process, making it a comprehensive solution for call center optimization and customer service enhancement.
