AI isn't replacing customer service - it's making it better. Here's how UK businesses are using AI effectively.
Intelligent Routing
AI analyses incoming queries and routes them to the right team or agent, reducing wait times and first-contact resolution.
24/7 First Response
AI chatbots handle initial queries outside business hours, collecting information and setting expectations until humans are available.
Agent Assist
AI works alongside human agents, suggesting responses, pulling up relevant information, and handling routine tasks in the background.
Sentiment Analysis
AI detects frustrated or unhappy customers in real-time, flagging them for priority handling or supervisor intervention.

The best implementations use AI for:
- Routine, repetitive queries
