SAN JOSE, Calif. & NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--LiveWorld, Inc. (OTC Markets: LVWD) announced today the launch of its new customer service automation suite, further enhancing the power of its social and messaging conversation management platform for service and support organizations. This new feature set provides brands with the ability to offer dynamic and personalized customer experiences by increasing the efficiency and productivity of customer service organizations. This offering provides a real-time responsive solution to the growing volume of inquiries coming through mobile, messaging apps, and social media. By automating routine tasks and responses, brands are able to realize cost savings, scale engagement, and allow human agents to use their skills and empathy on conversations that matter most.
LiveWorld’s platform lifts the burden of administrative tasks and delivers first-line customer engagement through intelligent automation – enabling businesses to set customized rules for auto-responses, auto-scheduling, and chatbots. Rules may be set based on messaging channels, conversation topics, sentiment, customer profile, language, and more. More complex issues are immediately passed along to the appropriate team or agent. With full conversation history and customer information, agents can then respond and resolve issues quickly and effectively. The software also provides seamless bi-directional transitions between chatbots and humans, empowering brands to define their ideal blend of automation and agent engagement. LiveWorld clients have reduced their initial response time to customer requests by more than 40 percent.
“Many brands experiment with hastily produced, laissez-faire bots that have backfired, leading to frustrated customers,” said Peter Friedman, Chairman and CEO, LiveWorld. "The best customer service combines thoughtful, smart automation with human agents to better communicate with consumers.”
LiveWorld’s chatbot/human hybrid model gives agents the ability to focus on delivering the best customer experience, while reducing time and operational cost. A first-of-its-kind platform to address the growing need for brands to have real-time customer conversations on a global scale, LiveWorld’s feature set includes:
