Virtual Agents for Customer Service
Why virtual agents
While remote or work-at-home agents are also referred to as virtual agents, the term is sometimes used to refer to virtual customer assistants, concierge, avatars, or whatever you may want to call them.
- Virtual agents engage customers 24×7, they don’t take time off, and done right, they can help contain or reduce customer service costs, while reinforcing the brand.
- They can be face-less or fronted by avatars and personal digital assistants such as Amazon Alexa and Siri.
