Helpshift’s new AI capabilities include:
- AI-Powered Answers: Powered by ChatGPT, this new feature offers consumers immediate solutions by analyzing their queries and then swiftly finding and summarizing the most relevant FAQ directly within the chat. This capability ensures quick, relevant, and easily understandable responses for an enhanced support experience.
- Smart Intents: This AI-driven intent classification feature helps brands understand the most common reasons consumers are contacting support more quickly. It then embarks consumers on a logical support journey with tailored workflows to help resolve their issues.
- Language AI for Multilingual Support: Now seamlessly integrated into the Helpshift platform, Keywords Studios’ advanced machine translation technology, Language AI, empowers customer support agents to effortlessly and accurately communicate with consumers in their native language. Early adopters of Language AI have achieved a remarkable 30% reduction in non-English support costs, coupled with an approximate 10% increase in Customer Satisfaction (CSAT). With simple, one-click translations, this feature enables global customer support and expands the team’s capabilities, transcending language barriers without any new integrations.
- SmartFAQs: SmartFAQs help customers get help faster by starting contextual chats directly from an FAQ. The SmartFAQs include a built-in form experience so brands can start to directly capture the required information needed to solve the customer’s problem effectively.
- AI Sentiment Analysis: Empowered by Natural Language Processing (NLP) techniques, this AI capability discerns the emotions in customer conversations, categorizing them as positive, negative, or neutral. It not only evaluates individual messages but also tracks changes in customer emotions over time. This helps prioritize urgent tickets and deepens agents’ grasp of customer sentiments, empowering them to deliver highly customized responses that enhance the overall customer service experience.
Unlike many other AI tools, Helpshift’s new AI capabilities are systematically built into the customer support journey and seamlessly embedded in the brand’s app, game, or website, with no new integrations required. AI works best when it has context. The AI gets fed real context and relevant customer information to quickly recognize situations, assess customer needs, and solve problems more efficiently while reducing customer frustration and keeping customers engaged.
