- A knowledge base AI that could understand and answer questions about bookings, cancellations, travel advisories, and more.
- Integration with TravelExplorer’s website and mobile app for easy access by customers.
- Continuous learning capabilities to improve accuracy and expand the range of questions answered over time.
The implementation process involved:
- Knowledge Base Creation: Compiling information on common customer queries and travel-related topics.
- AI Training: Training the virtual assistant to understand and respond to customer inquiries accurately.
- Integration and Deployment: Embedding the virtual assistant into TravelExplorer’s digital platforms for customer interaction.
- Monitoring and Feedback: Tracking the performance of the virtual assistant and making adjustments based on customer feedback.
Outcome After 10-40 Days:
- 40% reduction in customer wait times for inquiries.
- 30% increase in customer satisfaction ratings due to quicker and more accurate responses.
- Reduced workload for human customer service agents, allowing them to focus on more complex issues.
