Let’s talk about Talkdesk and its new generative AI capabilities aimed, as the company itself has described, at “hyper-personalizing and greatly improving customer experiences.”
Over on one of our sister sites CustomerZone360, fellow writer Tracey Schelmetic has previously covered Talkdesk, its contact center teams and AI-powered customer experience (CX) solutions trusted around the globe by businesses in staffing and employment services, transportation and logistics, retail and consumer goods, hospitality, insurance and fintech, government and education and more. Recently, Schelmetic wrote about Talkdesk’s latest Global Contact Center Key Performance Indictator (KPI) Benchmarking report with interesting data therein, as well as the Talkdesk Ascend Connect GenAI suite for on-prem environments. Through GenAI and myriad other tools, Talkdesk is on a mission to the world of “bad CX” with purpose-built and extensible offerings that strengthen teams’ abilities to grow revenue, reduce costs, and compete with “superior operational efficiencies.”
That’s why (in further Talkdesk news), its latest interactive voice response (IVR) solutions – Talkdesk Navigator and Talkdesk Interaction Analytics.
- Talkdesk Navigator capabilities include easy point-click-publish for non-technical users looking to autonomously configure and manage contact center flows, both GenAI-powered and attribute-based routing, text-to-speech (TTS) with natural-sounding human speech patterns for helping customers navigate to what they need, reusable business logic modules, queue management tools, and other self-service options.
- Talkdesk Interaction analytics analyzes customer interactions and nuanced mood insights, equipping teams with the necessary data to enhance and expedite automatic topic discovery for boosting loyalty and customer satisfaction. This also includes intuitive dashboards for tracking key conversational analytics, speech-to-text (STT) and natural language processing (NLP) for zeroing in on key contextual details from conversations, keyword search and keyword sensors, and other integrations.
In short, Talkdesk is enabling customers to simply tell Navigator what they need or want (without being funneled into rigidly frustrating IVR menus of old), and Interaction Analytics informs agents of what’s truly needed to be support their customers while simultaneously helping them mitigate operational issues to pump up performance numbers.
Per Tiago Paiva, CEO and founder of Talkdesk:
"Generative AI has opened up new possibilities for CX and is rewriting the rules of customer engagement. Traditional personalization is no longer enough. Customers expect interactions tailored to their unique preferences and emotions. With Talkdesk Navigator and mood insights, we're empowering organizations to deliver hyper-personalized experiences with AI that drive deeper connections that foster lasting customer loyalty."
