    Total 244 words used.

    We are committed to exceptional customer support and have used cutting-edge technology to elevate the customer experience. By leveraging Generative AI and Large Language Models, we have developed digital workers available around the clock to support customers in eight languages using our publicly published documentation and articles. These digital workers are designed to provide quick, accurate solutions to customer queries from the initial response to resolution via chat or email. Without human intervention, they resolve 32% of technical support cases for our Standard Support customers. Our digital workers are faster than their human counterparts, and their Average Resolution Time (ART) is 89% lower.

    In addition to our front-office digital workers, we have implemented back-office digital workers to enhance our customer experience further. These workers provide solutions to our human engineers from public and internal data sources, such as our engineering team’s ticketing platform. This ensures our human engineers are equipped with a potential resolution for issues beyond the front-office digital workers' scope. For our premium customers who receive white glove support, the back-office digital worker works alongside our human engineers, allowing us to provide a personalized human touch while leveraging the speed and efficiency of intelligent automation and generative AI.

    We take pride in providing exceptional customer support, and our digital workers have set a new standard for customer service. We remain committed to using advanced technology to enhance our customer experience and to provide quick, accurate, and efficient solutions to our customers' needs.

    Providing exceptional customer support sets us apart as a true industry leader. Our digital workers are one-of-a-kind: they support various CRMs and multiple large language models and cover the entire customer interaction process from start to resolution. This happens in a highly technical environment, without any logic-based dialog branches behind the scenes. Additionally, when customers need more assistance or subscribe to our premium support, human engineers, assisted by our back-office digital workers, step in to provide help. With back-office digital worker assistance, these cases are resolved 27% faster than those handled solely by our human workers. As a result, we have seen a significant 47% reduction in Average Resolution Time (ART) across the board.

    Our digital worker initiative has streamlined our support services, reduced operational costs, and provided quicker and better-quality support to our customers. So far, front-office and back-office digital workers have enabled a remarkable 647% return on investment.

    We know that our returns must come hand in hand with improvements to the customer experience. That's why we have worked tirelessly to ensure that our digital workers provide highly accurate responses and escalate when appropriate. After deploying digital workers, we have continued to see an increase in our Customer Satisfaction (CSAT), reaching a 14.6% improvement. We have also seen a positive response in our Net Promotor Score (NPS), which has increased by 10.2%.
