The Problem

Agents spend 30-50% of handling time searching for information across multiple systems — knowledge bases, CRM, past tickets, product docs. New agents take 3-6 months to reach full productivity because they don't know where to find answers. Response quality varies wildly between experienced and junior agents, and every interaction requires manual note-taking and wrap-up that adds 2-5 minutes of non-customer-facing time.

Current State

Agents alt-tab between 5-8 systems to find answers. Knowledge bases are outdated and poorly organized. Canned responses sound robotic and don't match context. Post-interaction summaries are inconsistent — some agents write paragraphs, others write nothing. Team leads spend hours reviewing chats to coach quality.

GenAI Solution

AI copilot monitors the live conversation and proactively surfaces relevant knowledge articles, past resolution patterns, and customer history. It generates contextually appropriate response suggestions that agents can accept, modify, or reject. After each interaction, it auto-generates a structured summary and tags the ticket. Reduces average handling time by 20-35% and cuts new agent ramp-up from months to weeks.

Key Differentiator

GenAI understands conversation context to proactively surface the RIGHT information at the RIGHT time — not just search results. Traditional knowledge search requires agents to formulate queries while handling a live customer. Copilot reduces cognitive load.

Example Workflow

  1. 1 Describes issue to agent
  2. 2 Surfaces relevant KB articles, past tickets, and customer history in agent sidebar
  3. 3 Generates suggested response matching conversation tone and context
  4. 4 Reviews, adjusts, and sends response — or searches copilot for more info
  5. 5 Auto-generates interaction summary and updates CRM
