From personal experience, I can recommend the Azure AI service to reduce the burden on your customer service team, as we did. We created a customer service bot and automated our Frequently Asked Questions section, as well as an interactive platform for registering other complaints that the bot cannot handle, which are later addressed by our customer service team.

Microsoft's customer service staff is friendly and extremely knowledgeable. They are always available to assist you with bot framework-related issues that you may be experiencing. They provide training sessions, manuals, and support personnel, among other things. Bugs were easily spotted and patched, which was one of my pet peeves about patching.

Microsoft Bot Framework is much better and well more established without a lot of proprietary software/coding language. Lex is very limited with integration with standard hardware and network configurations. Lex has performance issues and was too slow to meet near real-time collaboration requirements. Bot Framework complements many other Microsoft communication products and this was key to implementing without a lot of new training required.

  • Azure Bot will only deliver according to the granularity of the FAQ it is feed. Otherwise, it has been a cost optimization tool for our organization.

Ada Screenshots

Screenshot of the Ada AI-native customer service automation platform, capable of resolving a majority of inquiries.Screenshot of the AI Agent connected to a knowledge base and web pages. Rather than trying to match a scripted response to a unique problem, the AI Agent draws on existing knowledge sources to reason through and automatically resolve customer service inquiries.Screenshot of the setup of an integration using plain language (no code required). Specify the data the AI Agent should retrieve, when it should be used, and when to update data across systems, and the AI Agent is ready to perform tasks.Screenshot of Ada’s proprietary Automated Resolution measurement system that measures the AI Agent’s accuracy, relevancy, and safety. It describes the AI Agent’s behaviour and measure the business impact of recommended improvements.Screenshot of Ada's AI management tooling, which just like coaching, supports team on the tone, language, and procedures to follow.Screenshot of an onboarded AI Agent, which can use knowledge of company and products, and deployed instantly across messaging, voice and email channels.
