What’s Ahead for the Contact Center AI Platform?
Companies can anticipate more AI capabilities and features, from both current and future AI solutions, as well as expanded digital, communication and social channels, customization and new experiences and data connections, according to Adan. Google Cloud's CCAI product suite — Dialog Flow, Agent Assist, and Insights — will get frequent feature and quality improvements.
CCAI provides AI components to the contact center. For voicebot/live agent use cases, it is dependent on integrating with an IVR/contact center platform like Cisco or Avaya, according to Adan.
"Google Cloud CCAI Platform is an end to end contact center platform that replaces a customer’s IVR/contact center platform," Adan added. "Customers using Google Cloud CCAI Platform can accelerate their ability to leverage CCAI without the need for multiple technology providers to deliver the solution. CCAI Platform is a full stack contact center platform for queuing, routing, and reporting across voice and digital channels, interactions, and resource pools. CCAI Platform reduces complexity, dependency and improves speed of deployment."
