Abstract

A method for enhancing telephony-based customer support systems combines artificial intelligence (AI) and human interaction to streamline issue resolution while maintaining a personal touch. The system transcribes and analyzes customer voice recordings, extracting key terms, sentiment, and severity using AI-driven natural language processing models. Summarized data is displayed to human agents via a graphical interface, enabling them to prioritize interactions and engage customers efficiently. The method includes dynamic queuing based on customizable variables, such as sentiment, severity, loyalty status, and hold time, ensuring critical calls receive prompt attention. This hybrid approach improves customer satisfaction, reduces agent stress, and minimizes call handling times, addressing the limitations of fully automated systems while preserving the benefits of human interaction.
