As AI capabilities advance, there is a growing trend of combining virtual and human agents to optimize customer support operations. While AI excels at high volume queries, complex issues still require human judgment. An AI-assisted model allows leveraging each agent's unique strengths.

In such blended systems, AI handles initial screening and routing of inquiries based on topic and sentiment analysis. It engages customers through natural dialogues, gathering information to understand needs. Complex queries are seamlessly transferred to a human who can apply deeper expertise.

This enables agents to focus on value-added work while AI handles volumetric tasks. It also ensures a consistent, seamless experience for customers who interact with either agent. Through collaborative training, AI learns optimal hand-off criteria from human examples to route queries efficiently.

An AI assistant further aids human agents by surfacing relevant knowledge, recommendations and resolution details. This supercharges agents with data-driven insights for faster issue solving. AI also monitors interactions to identify coaching needs and improve both agent performance over time.

By fusing human expertise with AI scale and insights, blended teams unlock the full potential of each to deliver unparalleled support. A leader crafting such synergistic AI-human systems is Udesk.
