The brief

Project overview

This account is restored from Actinode’s original project portfolio. Results describe that project and are not a guarantee for another engagement. “Ready” or compliance-related terminology describes the stated project scope, not an independent certification.

Original challenge

The client's customer support team was overwhelmed with repetitive inquiries, leading to response times exceeding 24 hours. Support costs were escalating while customer satisfaction was declining. The team needed a solution that could handle common questions while seamlessly escalating complex issues to human agents.

Solution and contribution

We developed an AI-powered chatbot using natural language processing and machine learning. The system was trained on 50,000+ historical support conversations and integrated with the company's knowledge base. It includes intent recognition, context awareness, and sentiment analysis to provide accurate, helpful responses while knowing when to escalate to human support.

Implementation
