Han and Zeno's recently shared perspectives that changed how I’ve been thinking about Customer Support. It’s a concept from the lens of simple engineering. The key idea in the support analogy is that the ideal scenario is for customers to be able to self-serve and resolve their issues without needing to escalate to a human support agent. The "try block" represents the resources available for customers to help themselves, like documentation, FAQs, and AI-powered chatbots or virtual agents. To me, the "catch block" is escalating to a human agent when self-service fails. Seeing this in real-world parallels, Customer Support is like filing your taxes. The try block includes tax prep software, online guides, and chatbots that answer common questions. If you get stuck, you move to the catch block - hiring a CPA or visiting an IRS/CRA office. I imagine companies like Intuit think about taxpayer-friendly systems investing heavily in the try block for their customers, using AI to tailor guides to your specific situation, flag potential errors, and suggest deductions. By making the software as helpful as possible, a true Copilot – they reduce the need for costly human intervention. Optimizing the 'try' workflows is how award-winning AI Agents like Tico are able to achieve a constant 96% AI automation rate, and it can only be done by being able to configure your AI Agent, and it starts with #ConversationalAI. If you’re navigating high support volumes with a lean team, reach out and I'll show how you can help blend & configure AI automation with quality for your customers.

We're getting to the point where any help center/docs website needs semantic search in the very least. A good AI assistant with access to a knowledge base is even better. But that AI assistant should route my conversation to a human support agent if it couldn't help me. But humans leave at 5PM and take weekends off. And when they're there, they're always slow to respond. Why do I even want to speak to a human? Is it because AI is still dumb? Not anymore it's not. Maybe there's something it doesn't know about the business? No, they'll eventually teach it everything support agents know. Is it because the human agent can take actions? Well, yes... I guess the AI assistant should be able to take actions as well. Any action that a human support agent is trained to take. But just to be sure, business owners should still be able to view - and maybe interrupt - the assistant's interactions with customers to make sure customers stay happy. Heck, business owners might want to automatically evaluate the assistant's performance whenever they teach it something new! Nobody wants to make a simple change to the assistant and suddenly have it going wild with customers. It would also be nice if the AI could keep track of trends in customer behavior and requests. The best way to understand customers is to talk to customers, so the AI's understanding of the customer could be very valuable. I guess all of this can get pretty expensive though... Businesses pay outrageous amounts for customer support software like Zendesk or Intercom, and that's without any AI add-ons! Not that their AI features are good anyway - these products weren't built with AI in mind. There has to be something better. Here's some good news: I've been working on Open.cx for a while now, and it's exactly what I wanted. You can get ALL of the above and much, much more, right now. It's not a dream anymore.

Will AI-based enterprise software follow a new business model, such as outcome-based pricing, where customers pay only when the models work? In sectors where AI-enabled automation makes it easy to build applications (vs. buying them), like customer support software, outcome-based pricing is being offered by several vendors - - Zendesk: a fee for each ticket resolved autonomously after a threshold. - Intercom: a flat rate per successful resolution for its AI chatbot, Fin. - Forethought: an outcome-based model with a fixed fee and a commitment to a certain number of automated resolutions. Several factors are driving this shift - - Increased AI automation: As AI becomes more capable of automating tasks, the value proposition of traditional pricing models diminishes. - Customer demand for value: Businesses increasingly scrutinize software investments and seek demonstrable ROI. - Competitive pressure: Early adopters of outcome-based pricing pressure rivals to follow suit. Potential Benefits - - Transparency and fairness: Customers only pay for tangible results, aligning incentives between vendors and clients. - Market expansion: By offering more accessible and measurable value, outcome-based pricing could attract new customers and expand the market. Challenges and Concerns - - Short-term revenue impact: The transition to outcome-based pricing could initially lower revenue for software vendors. - Valuation complexity: It is challenging to determine a fair price for successful outcomes, which can vary significantly in complexity and value. - Potential for reduced usage: Customers might avoid using the software for simpler tasks to avert charges, potentially hindering overall adoption. + "We only make money if we win for you.” + "Just because I used your service doesn’t mean I got value." - "If you sit here with a business model that requires this perfect agreement on value, then you’re not going to grow very fast.”

Five Lessons Learned Using AI In SaaS Customer Support Customers expect high standards from the companies they choose. Around 80% of Americans prioritize speed, convenience, expertise, and friendly service. Providing outstanding customer service is a never-ending task for companies. AI solutions offer an affordable way of improving your client care. Let's look at the five things we've discovered when utilizing AI for SaaS support. 🧠Prevent AI hallucinations AI models are good at giving accurate answers. However, occasionally, they generate irrelevant or erroneous information — a phenomenon known as AI hallucinations. It's critical to have a thorough knowledge foundation to prevent this. MetaDialog can train your chatbot using a year's worth of consumer requests, which can decrease the percentage of hallucinations to less than 0.5% and ensure accurate replies. 💰Grasp the financial aspect Cost is the main worry. CEOs must balance the costs and advantages of the technology. Internal development costs more. It takes longer and requires experienced in-house software developers. Instead, you can choose ready-to-use solutions that cost less. 🔄Consider all factors Consider several factors when deciding between your own and third-party AI solutions. Creating a tool internally gives you complete control and flexibility. Still, this also requires significant time and knowledge. In contrast, ready-to-use third-party systems like MetaDialog have various customization features. You can quickly train them to handle client concerns and integrate them into the system. 📈Analyze scalability costs Scalability is essential if you want to meet customer support requirements. With sufficient resources, AI chatbots may scale easily. AI systems answer routine questions and allow human agents to work on more challenging assignments. 🎓Train AI for complex tasks Do you want your AI to provide correct replies? Give it a comprehensive knowledge foundation and meticulous training. MetaDialog's team studies all client requests and teaches your bot to give thorough answers. For instance, with Jiji.ng, we got 81% instant automatic, correct answers. AI technologies can completely transform how organizations provide customer support. You can use the MetaDialog solution to improve client care and provide customized help. Embrace the MetaDialog-powered customer service to reach your own goals.🚀 #MetaDialog #CustomerSupport
